Hey great vid I had a quick question what rupes rotary do you recommend that doesn’t have the throw or sway that can be used angled I do boats so staying flat isn’t an option a lot of times , I’m coming from a Mikita

To be honest I cant answer that as I havent used rotary, maybe try forced rotation

Can you finish well with a 21mm da?... i mistakenly got a 21mm when i actually wanted 15mm and im worried i might not able to get a nice finish because of the big throw

@iglcoatingsau

Yes absolutely, a 21 finishes just as well as a 15

I am looking at this brand for a replacement of my 5 inch dual polisher. I know Rupes is the top of line. I also have a 3 inch machine and 2 inch machine. I am a homeowner with 2 classic sports cars. One has single stage paint and the other has a clearcoat. I can only afford one machine right now, so you recommend sticking with the Rupes 5 inch 15 throw? I mostly use foam pads for all three machines and I use the Jescar products.

I just bought the lhr15 a amazing machine

I am a DIY detailer and have used my old PC 21mm D/A polisher for several years. I still have several new 6" pads. And, I would like to go to a 15mm cordless polisher now. But I do not have any 5" pads. Are you recommending that I should stay with a 21mm thow D/A polisher? Thank you very much sir.

Awesome video man. I don’t know about you but my 15mm stalls on every body panel. Been detailing for 8 years been paint correcting for 6, I’ve never had any problems with my 21mm or my 3inch but the 15mm is terrible, what could be the situation? I know how to use DA’s

The 15 does have a lot less torque and you need to run it at higher speed but the washer mod also helps!

Check your backing plate. It should be in contact with the rubber shroud. But it should also be lubricated periodically. I have the Duetto, and ran into that problem after a thorough cleaning. I was met with almost constant stalling, then rubber chunks being spat on to the area I was polishing, and finally the shroud wore away and it was free spinning. Then I found out about keeping the shroud lubricated, and have had success ever since. I'm not a fan of the washer mod. It gives me way more vibration, and an over all rougher ride. On the performance side, it decreases oscillation, and increases rotation. Oscillation is where the bulk of the cut comes from (70% according to Rupes), where the rotation aids in keeping the surface cool and for getting a good finish.

After heavy cutting with 7 inch rotary, which DA would be more suitable for finishing, 21 or 15 mm?

@iglcoatingsau

2 жыл бұрын

Both would be suitable just depends on how well you finished off with the cutting and also your experience with DA. The 21 will cut faster than the 15

If you can finish well with rotary, the 15 will be superior choice for finishing, especially on edges of panels, and tight spots. I run wool on my 7" rotary and finish down to very fine rotary markings, and then hit with a 15mm (soft pad/finish polish) to clear up those markings. A lot depends on the paint though.

Hello. What are your thoughts on a gear driven DA like the Rupes Mille or Flex XCE that have zero pad stall?

@iglcoatingsau

2 жыл бұрын

I have tried both brands you have mentioned. I don't see any particular advantage of disadvantages for an experienced user. They will both do the job well. Gear driven allows to change different size backing plates but also has a higher risk of damaging the car but in terms of working speed and results they are in my view equal

I have heard you can interchange 5" and 6" backplates on the 21 machine, which comes with the 6" backplate, Having said that, the same place where I head that also advised that you can NOT interchange 5" and 6" backplates on the 15 machine, which comes with the 5" backplates. You say that you simply can't interchange in these machines due to counterweight, but have you considered that you can interchange one way only with the 21 machine?

@iglcoatingsau

11 ай бұрын

I have used this method before and changed the backing plates. It leads to vibration and poor performance. The difference with the machines isnt the size of the pad/backing plate but rather the throw. If you put a 6" backing plate on a LHR15 you wont get the same result as a 6" backing plate on a LHR21 as it will be 15mm throw vs 21mm throw and vice versa. The machines also spin at different RPM

Which one is the ROTARY?

@iglcoatingsau

11 ай бұрын

neither is rotary

I know this is a year old video but, in the beginning of the video, you were stating the 3", 5", or 6" which doesn't really make sense to debate on when really it's all about the throw of the machines. Really this debate should be centered on the fact that these machines are: 12mm (3"), 15mm (LHR15) and 21mm (LHR21)--due to the fact that you can get a 5inch backing plate for the LHR75E, a 6" b.p. for the LHR15 and a 5inch b.p. for the LHR21.
