Its not needed.This is probably best for a fixed rotation polisher, but the reason you want to use a forced rotation polisher in the first place is to nave it NOT stop rotating on curved surfaces. There isn't much benefit, as the Dual Action spreads the heat generation over a wider area, so the...

The Hybrid Power pads came out in 5" size, and required the Lake Country interchangeable backing plate system, which included both the 4" backing plate (specifically for the 5" Hybrid Power pads), and a larger backing plate for any 6.5" pads. There were issues with the larger backing plate, and...

Even Microsoft has abandoned IE for Edge. Edge is not bad as browsers go (I use Firefox, so no fan of either IE or Edge).

Could it be a 21mm throw model in the XFE family? How about revisions to the PE family? Also interested in seeing what changes have been made to the XCE in this third showing.

The mids will be sure tocone along shortly, they will decide what they do. As for agrreing or not, doesn’t matter. Your question is the same, you just added the LHR 21 MK 2 and the LHR19E at the end of the question in the “Ask Mike Philips section”. It wasn’t mostly oriented towards a rotary...

The point is, DO NOT POST TO MORE THAN 1 FORUM. You are asking about Rupes polishers, post to the Rupes forum. Simple. You may not see anything wrong with it, but it is against the forum rules, is bad etiquette, and in the long term, it will create confusion.

Ronin47, my apology. I mis-attributed the positioning statement by BrettS4.

Mike is using one of the prototype XCE polishers which were shown at SEMA for the last two years. Whether this represents the actual polisher that is actually going to be released is a completely open question. This was my point regarding BrettS4's post putting the XCE in third place. As of...

May I ask how you come to that conclusion? Considering that the XCE has been talked about ONLY, unless you have actually been able to use the Mille and the rumored XCE, this statement is noting more than speculation. The Makinta PO5000C was supposed to put the XC 3401 into the history books. It...

Ronin 47: And, as the opposing view, why do you think it has taken so long to come up with a replacement? its been hinted at for a couple of years now. Couldn't have anything to do with the 3401 being perfectly usable and reliable, so no hurry to fix what isn't broken, could it?

The guy on the 9th Generation Accord youtube channel connects is directly to the pressure washer gun, no extension of any type, and he has a video on both how to do it, and why he likes it that way.

Maybe a way around that is to use any older, less than perfect pads that you already have with the acid, and order new pads for use with paint. This is of course, very dependent on how many of the older pads you have, and how many need to be used with the acid.

John, the Forensics Detailing guy on Youtube, did a decontamination video recently. Most of the products are UK/European based, but he did an introduction into how the iron decontaminants work. He did review Iron-X, and it did best with paint decontamination, less so with wheel decontamination...

The way to save money on pads is to buy high quality, well performing pads, and look after them. Buy enough pads up front that you aren't overusing the pads (i.e. change them often, and have enough of each type on hand to allow you to do what you need to get done),don't over heat the pads, and...

Find a local company that makes custom hoses for industry. Take your original SunJoe hose to them. See if they can figure out what the hose connector is. If so, they can probably get thematic connector, and can make up a hose of whatever length you want. If not, have them replace one of the...

As I have said before, this is a PE8 with a DA gearbox vs. a rotary gearbox. Motor specs are similar (but not exactly the same), and the lack of a variable speed trigger is exactly the same as a PE8.

The major determinant is the cars you work on, or more specifically, how much curvature the cars you work on have. The more curved the body panels, the more likely you are to see pad stalling on free rotation DAs. In that case, despite the longer stroke of the 15mm-21mm models (from any...

In my mind, I have always wondered about the towel separation idea. Not so much the greasy/dirty wheel/engine cleaning vs. the paint type, but the compound vs. the polish vs. wax type (i.e. the "good" (touches paint) vs. the "grungy" (exposed to grease/mud)). I have no issue regarding the...

Sort of related, but a question for those who own a PE8. How does it cut at speeds of 1-2-3-etc. with the 3", and 1" pads. I don't own a PE8, but I am considering getting one, so I would like to know how well it corrects with its recommended pad sizes. Seems like it must be working well even...

A bigger pad will generate more heat. To get a rule of thumb estimate, just think about the edge speed of the pads. A 5.5" pad running at 2000 rpm/opm is going to generate more heat than a 3" pad running at 2000 rpm/opm, just because with each revolution/orbit, the pad goes a longer distance...
