I have a Meguiars MT300 at the moment! What's a good DA for a weekend detailer that gets the job done faster.

Wow... open ended question... here it goes:

Porta Cable 7424xp
Griot's G6
Griot's G15 or G21
Rupes MKII 15 or 21
Flex 3401

oh, and there is the new Makita, but I haven't tried that one so others will have to chime in.

Do you have any of those ?

For a weekend warrior, Flex 3401 or Rupes MK II 15

Vote for either the Flex XFE-7 or 3401.

Anything Rupes is fantastic too!

I went from an MT300 to a Rupes LHR15 MKII and never looked back. My MT300
Just collects dust.

Awesome I appreciate your opinion. I will check out YouTube videos to see Rupes LHR15 works.

Thanks

This is perfect. These are your choices and any of them are fine. You can research many threads about this. But GOOD HUNTING!
 
Any of the machines LSN mentioned will work extremely well for you. I personally went from a Porter Cable to a rotary because I wanted more bite. I then got a Flex 3401 and absolutely love it. For me, coming from the forced rotation of a rotary, I found the Flex perfect for both bite (cut) and finesse final polishing. I have tried the Rupes products and were amazed at the feel however did that after I already had my Flex and was getting what i wanted from the Flex machine.

Having said all that, I will get a Rupes someday. Both the Flex and the Rupes are what some consider expensive but it's worth every penny, thus my question regarding if you had a budget in mind.

I will add that I kept my old, original Porter Cable and use that every job to apply waxes and sealants. Plus it's good to have a backup machine just in case something happens to your new one. Unlikely but ya know...
 
I second the Adams SK. Worth a look. I got it. It's smooth, quiet, and has not bogged down yet. $229 and often 15% off that.

Lol. As a guitarist that's like asking what do I like better, my Strat, Les Paul or Tele... All three go to the gig. :)

All of them. Depends on the results I'm getting.
Rupes and Boss are an entire system. So which ever system delivers the results, varies from job to job. Mike Phillips published a book for the Rupes system. The PC is great for smaller plates, pads and a backup. I cut my teeth on that, but it's on almost every job.

You can't go wrong with any, but IMO, you will not go wrong with the BOSS System. G15/21 with BOSS pads and BOSS creams. Griots has a lifetime no questions asked warranty. For a long throw, it's very forgiving.

Hope this helps.
