Also, anyone run one of the 220V machines? I have a Honda EU7000 generator that would run 220. Is the upgrade that big over 110?

After a bunch of years my chief steamer 125 finally bit the dust. I am looking at replacing it, but also considering a Duprey Hill Injection model. Does anyone know if the assessors (hoses, etc.) fit each other or are cross compatible? I have a big bag of assessors and it would be nice to...

I have never used Marine 31, but I had some high spots that I missed on the hood of my Audi using CQuatz UK 3.0 (a different ceramic coating product for paint). I compounded the hood with a fine polish and pad and then an ultra fine polish and pad then Eraser (an IPA based cleaner to remove...

Thanks!

I'd like to redo a panel I did in Cquartz 3.0 and Gliss to remove some light scuffs I put on the coating and then reapply both to the panel. Which Rules pad and polish would be ideal? Do I need to go to a green? Or would a yellow be better. I don't mind multiple steps either. Also, the...

I am fairly new at machine compounding, but I use the Rupes pads and polishes because they work and are fairly idiot proof. The previous poster is right about the sling on the blue pads, but other than being a bit messy, they work as advertised. Someone put a 5 inch (and pretty deep into the...

Two questions: Would this product be good to wash a CQuartz UK 3.0 coated / Gliss topcoated car; and Can I put this product in the chemical bottle of my Chief 125 Steamer like I currently do with a rinseless wash product and apply through my steamer to wash the car. Chief Steamer 125...

I am not a pro and just got into working my own vehicles. I have a Rupes: Nano, Mini, Bigfoot 21, Mille, and the new Rotary. I use all of them. I gave away some of the cheaper orbitals I started with. If I had to pick one it would be the Mille. You can crush cars/paint and boats/gel with...

The online store here has 6" and 7" wool pads for Rupes, so 6" would would best you think?

What size wool pads fit and what size do I want to use with the Mille for 20" ski boat? I am about to place an order. Thanks.

WestMarine/PortSupply carries the 3m marine polishes and waxes.

I have Rupes polishers, pads, and polish and basically the same truck ('16 GMC Black 2500). Its been through a physical carwash several times (don't ask how or why) and it has lots of swirls and micro scratches that I want to address. What would be the advised Rupes pad and polish to start...

Man, those work platforms look perfect. I am grabbing 4 today.

I have a '16 Black 2500 Denali with a Black Canopy. Its a lot of real estate. And its tall and hard to get to. My wife also has a Black SUV. I broke down and ordered a Rupes BigFoot 21, Mini, and Nano. These pretty much cover the gamut of spaces that need polishing. I also like the fact...

Lately I have been using cheap Costco/Kirkland microfiber for a lot of tasks and just treat them as disposable. Complete the task/toss in trash/done. The pack is so cheap and they seem to do fine. I have some nicer towels that I save for some tasks, but I have not seen any evidence yet that...

Those sound like solid features. Especially the gear reduction.

Does anyone know or have any scoop on whether the new Rupes LH 19E will have any features that set it apart from other rotary buffers? Thanks in advance. NEW PRODUCTS ? Rupes

My 125 came a few days ago, and I spent a little time with it last night. Its pretty impressive they way it gets the grime out of nooks and crannies.

I've used use white vinegar and water 50/50; Boat Bling Hot Sauce; Meguires Hard Water Spot Remover; and Babes Spot Remover, and they all worked fine for run-of-the mill hard water spots on gel. Now I wipe the boat down with Babe's Boat Bright pretty much every time I pull it (I trailer for...

VISITOR, thanks for the tip. I just bought a set of Rupes DA's and I'm pretty impressed with their build quality. I also like the idea of sticking with their "system" so to speak. If I went another route it would probably be with Makita, as I have virtually all of their cordless tools and a...
