Top speed mainly b/c if you're talking MAX CORRECTION POWER!!!! (ARRRRRG!!!! *GRUNTS* GRRRRRR!!!!) thats where you'd most likely be Theres going to be some variation within the range, but not a ton, the power delivery is somewhat parallel

We're coming to Detail Fest and we're bringing a couple of our little friends with us! Get your hands on experience with the BigFoot Nano with iBrid Technology and Mark II polishers along with our full assortment of pads and compounds. There might also be some cool RUPES swag up for grabs so...

The 15II v the 21II in their stock form - we don't endorse the plate swaps specifically so I won't go down that road - you're going to see much less separation between them than you'd think. Again, you have to remember that the 21 gets the edge in stroke length, but the 15 is operating at a...

The blue tends to freak people out on first impression due to the feel... what the foam does under load and with the small amount of friction generated heat is fairly counter intuitive based on that first impression. You would assume it would scour and haze up finishes, but it actually...

Excellent question, and one that's been posed more and more lately. 1: Its closer than most would think. The 15II clearly has a speed and torque advantage, but the 21ES has the larger orbit. Going after a very specific scratch in a very compact area the 15II has the edge due to higher pad...

I can't personally say I've tried any dedicated pad primers with our system, so I can't say specifically whether or not it would work. Maybe Todd has some insight he can share. With the foam composition of our pads being what it is, featuring a VERY large open cell design thinner liquids tend...

I won't try to influence you either way - just try both and report back your thoughts. When we say that RUPES listens to customers we mean it. The feedback we collect in the market it always shared up stream and if they feel there is a way to improve user experience or performance then its...

I would hope so... thats the backing plate size it comes with if you ask around (kidding) Enjoy it! Give it a try with the stock plate as well and provide feedback on the difference in feel. I think so many times we (the RUPES guys) preach the 'don't mod' mentality, but rarely do we get any...

The 21 is always going to have a slight edge, all other things being equal, in correcting power thanks to the additional stroke length. That being said I have yet to run up against the paint correction that the 15 Mark II couldn't handle. The 21 really starts to set itself apart in those HEAVY...

As shown in dlc95's post above the counterweights are different between the two tools. This is to offset the pad size at the 12mm orbit and minimize vibration. People got accustomed to simply swapping plates and pads with the PC and similar tools. They vibrated in pretty much any configuration...

The question of if I can vs if I'd actually want to be confused for Todd is still up for debate ;) Hey no worries - Todd is THE MAN when it comes to all things application and training. I just jump in and help where I can. I'll add to this a little additional learning I've been privy to...

Congrats! The 15 Mark II is my favorite tool in the lineup currently so good choice, and thanks for choosing a RUPES polisher. Cheers!

My names not Todd, but I'll throw my 2 cents in - it wasn't the machine heating up that caused the 'melt' but the friction and lack of airflow. The added pad rotation speed and torque of the Mark II is going to have more heat buildup. Odds are the tool itself wasn't hot at all and any heat was...

As indicated above, the 15 was always intended as the 'detailing' tool where as the 21 has applications in detailing, but its also being widely adopted in the PBE market for the removal of sanding marks. Bodyshops love it b/c the skill required vs a rotary is lower, so they can deploy it with...

If only most people understood the complexity of these things - certifications, regulations, voltages, and much more have to be handled for every country . Tooling, raw materials, production time and more have to be coordinated. Of course nothing can make it to the consumer without exhaustive...

The long will offer the best levels of versatility due to its reach, I also find that having the extra length provides an additional holding surface since so many of us are accustomed to working (polishing) with both hands on the tool. The short neck starts to show benefit in that its a little...

As the line is currently configured it makes the most sense for the majority of people to pair the LHR75E (or LHR75 if you have sufficient access to air) with either the LHR21 or LHR15. More often, I recommend that the LHR15 be your primary choice if you're a 1 tool approach type guy as it...

Appreciate the kind remarks and happy to hear you are enjoying your 21 Mark II. Cheers!

Second this recommendation. Steve is a friend and very talented and professional detailer in the area.

Bingo! Dielectric grease is the best solution, however petroleum jelly will work in a pinch. :dblthumb2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD-2dLypm0c
