    Flex XFE15 150 18.0-EC Underwhelming

    My Rupes 15 MKII finally gave out on me, so I ended up getting the Cordless Flex version of it. Is there anywhere to make it more powerful? Feels so underwhelming, stalls more, edges on the MKII were mediocre, on the XFE 15 EC they're so brutal. I have loads of tools at my disposal so it's OK...

    Flex VRG Cord Failure?

    Noticed this happening today during a job, got in the way a lot thankfully I had the LHR21 MK2. The Flex has been through some heavy duty correction this year, anyone experience a similar issue?

    Issues with Buff & Shine Low-Pro's LHR21 MarkII

    I love buff and shine, really high quality durable pads that finish well, I have almost every single pad they sell for the Flex and I've not encountered a single issue. Now, I have a couple of the new Low Pro's for the Rupes and I'm not impressed at all, they seem to glaze fast, skip all over...

    Fiberglass Vette Sticky Paint

    I'm having a repeat customer bring back his fiberglass Vette which had white paint for a one-step maintenance detail. The last time I worked on it the results are great but was a massive pain because the paint was so sticky every polish I used would bake onto the paint. I've seen this before on...

    Mark II Washer Mod Where To Get?

    I've had my Rupes 21 MK II for a while now, was it supposed to come with a washer like the G21? I didn't see one in the box, if not where can I pick one up from? Thanks

    Pollen Damage?

    Had a longtime client of mine finally pick up a polisher and try to do his own car, he was pretty adamant about it too. I donated my old DA, some pads, showed him a dozen techniques(came with me on some of my jobs) and product and sent him on his way. He rocks a solid black Camaro, paints pretty...

    Rupes Maintenance

    Hello, I've been using the Flex VRG for about 5 years now and considered switching tools. Had the MK2 21 and the G21 in my sights, planned on using the 5inch backing plate because I have a lot of 5inch flat and MF pads. Recently I read that you need to oil the backing plate on the Rupes...
