I started with a porter to finish my dad’s rotary marks! 😅 then we got a used flex 3401 before I knew how to use it and it broke… Rupes trained me a little on a mark II and it was great. I really liked my maxhshine 21 but it only lasted 2 years and a lot of vibrations. Looking for an upgrade right now this is a great video! Now I know exactly what 6in long throw I want next! Love my oberk products can’t wait for my new 21 mark iii! Was thinking about a forced rotation but I think for the detailing I do won’t be necessary! Next step the rotary video!

Heck yeah man! We hope it helped. Thank you for tuning in and watching!!!!!

Super informational video. The Rupes names are a little confusing since they are all a LHR. The first is LHR ES then LHR Mark 2 and 3. Then the brand new cordless one is HLR so even more confusion. I actually just got one of the new cordless ones, and would love to see you guys review it. About 4-5 years ago when I was first wanting to get into polishing the new Griots had just come out and were super tempting, but a g15 wasn’t much cheaper than the LHR ES so I just jumped straight into Rupes and used the same one until I just sold it to put money towards the cordless.

Next up on the list!!!! My first experiences testing it at tradeshows was very good, so hopefully it tests out well.

Im a novice and I bought a 21mm polisher and now realize I should have bought a 15. Should I sell it or can I put on a 5 inch backing plate?

what machine did you purchase?

You can put a 5 inch backing plate on the 21MM however, from personal experience it does become more difficult to control a 21 with a 5 inch backing plate. It does work but the 15MM great. When possible, its helpful to have them both.

Definitely need an entry level machine video. I'll be kicking off a mobile detailing business in the next couple months, and I'm not going to do paint correction right off the bat. But I want to get a good entry level machine I can start practicing on my own vehicle with before I offer a service. Harbor Freight for example has a new Hercules line forced rotation dual action polisher I'm wondering if might be a good one to start with.

Is Griot Garage, Maxshine, and Shinemate, quality machines?

Hey this is great content, I’m subbing and sticking around. I enjoy the no bs, chill hang out and talk format you have here. I started with a Rupes LHR15 mk 3 modded with a Kamikaze Collection Beast aluminum backing plate and just bought a bunch of premium machines after that. I kind of just wanted all the things, and ultimately I think working with several different tools makes you a little more flexible. I naturally see the direction the industry is going because it is so convenient to grab the cordless tools when you don’t want to think about it. It’s ultimately easier just to not have a cord anywhere in your way. They’ve brought the standards up so high with the cordless machines, that they compete hard with the staples in the industry. I also would love to see you do a review video on the HLR15!

Thank you for watching, we will be recording some new videos soon. We will have to add the HLR15

Just got into polishing and bought a used porter for 20 dollars. Wjat are good backing plate brands and pads?

I am would like to buy my first DA Polisher and I would like to use it for many purposes. Changing backing plates, small to 6", using one for vehicles and for wood or polishing stone. What is a good polisher? I can spend less than $300. Would like good ergonomics and less vibration and noise. Thanks

I would look into the Griots tools to stay in the price range you after!

Do one on harbor freight polishers
