great video matt I am glad you are open-minded in trying new products great job keep them coming

Matt: Your best video yet. As a fellow Griots guy early on, I loved seeing the Rupes vs. Griots comparison. Showing more than one brand (whatever the product) and comparing them helps those of us in the market, vs. seeing just one choice from you or someone else. Nicely done.

Thanks man!

I’ve owned several polishers from both companies, and while I do like the overall feel of the Rupes machines slightly better, the difference between them is so minimal and doesn’t effect performance that I can’t justify spending more for the Rupes. Especially since the Rupes only come with a 12 month warranty that just covers original manufacturing defects. The Griot’s ones come with a lifetime warranty where they will either repair it, replace it, or give you your money back.

what kind of warranty does ( Adams) ( Maxshine ) and ( Chemicalguys ) carries ?

I use a lot of the Griots compounds and really like them. Use them on a lot of my 2 stage stuff. For Griots BOSS vs Rupes I prefer Rupes, but my business partner likes the BOSS. They are pretty close in every way, minus the exterior looks. I know people have issues with BOSS, but I know many that have gone through Rupes too. Our iBirds are on their third one as they seem to not last very long. I really like how he stated it is preference, as that is what it is. No machine is better than the other. It all comes down to technique.

The Das6 Pro Plus is very smooth as well, I love how well it is balanced!!!!

Thanks for the great tips again Matt

Truly glad this was not a one sided. I love this and hate that. video. nice job. I subbed

Next level auto detail !!!!...team boss for sure!!!...love that dam machine and the whole system in general

griots actually allows you to swap the g21 to a 5" backing plate. you can get the best of both worlds with 6" or 5". its great for some people who can only get 1 machine. griots includes washer mod too. that being said... i still grab my 15mark2 first due to the smoothness over the griots

Matt love the vids. You should do a detailing vid/tutorial of a 10 year old car with swirls and scratches. Teaching us normal folks how to bring back our cars after years of daily driving.

I have yet to use the BOSS, but at close to $400, it better put out. I'll be on the phone to Richard if it doesn't. I spend a ton of money with his company.

The G9 gets way more correction done than the Mark 3 , ask me how I know. I have both and used them both today. Even used the TAC Systems aluminum backing plate. Stalls a lot tho it does feel much smoother the G9 out performs it on contoured panels. It vibrates more but if you’ve used any power tool in your life it won’t bother you. The Rupes is not the top dog in polishers.

Hey Matt, great video. It's always nice testing new products with an open mind. How come don't you like the 105 and 205 ? Seemed kind of weird, given their results and easy wiping-off compared to menzerna, which i also love, however i wish they could be wiped off more easily. Cheers Mike

MichailDoc, here in Brazil Menzerna is far more popular that Meguiars at compounds, 105 and 205 are really known as compounds that mask too much the results of your job, i've never tested it myself, but that is what I always hear.

@MichailDoc

7 жыл бұрын

Iago Maciél hello there. From my experience, they don't mask your work. They can leave a serious haze sometimes, especially the 105, which can come off with either the 205, or with other methods. Menzerna is also well known in Greece, and they both are equally respected. Just comes down to personal preferences and applications I guess. Cheers

Rotary requires a whole lot more skill than a DA, and you run the risk of burning through the clear coat. Plus you'd typically want to follow a rotary with a DA to remove the holograms and pig tails that the wool pad usually leaves behind.

The Rotary in the right hands can certainly do the job but it's like using 1000 hp Supra to go around a road course. In the right hands, you can get around it pretty fast. It you get it right and don't die, that thing might get to the finish line faster. The Rupes DA is more like a GT3 RS that is purpose built to and can be safer and at times more effective.

Now make a video comparing the Rupes to the Flex

Rupes is the way to go

I can only say , wait till May when their (Rupes) polisher comes out..... u don't need to Use your finger use the Claw..😂 priming your pad!

We have the Chinese versions of the Rupes at detailing retailers in the UK. They may come in different colour plastics etc but still the same Chinese machine underneath. They are half the price of the Rupes and so makes sense if you’re on a budget. For the tiny saving of the Griots over the Rupes, there’s no point at all.

If you just want something for your own vechile, go harbor freight 6in da. People will have a stroke that I said that but go look at some reviews on it from professionals, for 50 bucks you can't beat it. You will just want to buy quality pads and backing plate.do not use harbor freights acesories. But the machine itself paired with griots or lake country acesories will do more than you need for you own personal truck. For the price it's a no brainer. Like I said watch the reviews there is some professionals on here that break it down. Dallas paint correction does a good review.

try the new FLEX 15MM

i hate the trigger on the rupes and it needs a bigger motor...

I don't use M105 anymore either. M100 is much bettwr, but can still clog up a Rupes microfiber pad. M205 on the yellow microfiber , and foam is awesome. The trick for maximum gloss finish polishing is to short cycle the M205. For finishing I'm doing two passes max. Todd Helme did a write up "Getting the most out of M205" or something like that on Autopia. I usually stick to Rupes gels, and pads though. Great video though! Joe is one of my favorite detailers out there!

Griots improved Rupes Mk1, but Mk2 Rupes is the best! ;)

I do love all my Rupes. I sold my old Griots when I got them and have never looked back. The slow start does take getting used to but I don't notice it much anymore. It's good to do comparisons though every now and again to either confirm your still love what your using or to open your eyes to something better.

Matt - have you looked at Festool polishers? Either the Rotex or the Shinex? They have a very strong sander business and a lot of automotive clients using both sanders and polishers. I've been using a Rotex 3" and 6" as a hobbiest for a few years and have been happy with both. They also have a 5" unit. Great videos and thanks for taking the time to go into detail. No pun intended! Excellent work!

But their compounds, and glazes are really good. I think Griot's need to focus and how to fix this problem. this machine is good for like personal use, but not for detail shops, I use the flex all day long even fixing orange peel taking 1,200 sand grid marks with 3m compound and that machine never goes down!! also I have the rupes 21 mark I, and the torq22d from chemicals guys, they does a decent work but not as the flex 3401.
