Our very own Rupes LHR 21 ES is now in our hands at the shop.

What will the pricing on the 15mm polisher be? I would rather have it as I do not want to replace all my 5.5" pads.

I have a bunch of uber 5.5" pad too, but only $50 difference between the 15mm and the 21mm throw machine.

 

Are you being serious ank? Your worried about $100 worth of pads and not the $8 million in waxes.

sent using my thumbs, mispelling most words

 

Pads aren't sexy.

 

should be $349.99.

get on the waiting list for the Rupes BigFoot LHR 15ES

 

Phil, any feedback on your 21?

 

sorry for the delay, as many have said already this machine rocks in just about every way I have about 5 cars on it now.

the biggest surprise is it feels like your doing absolutely nothing, as well its much easier on the body. I love it and would recommend it, the guys in the shop are fighting to get it out of my hands LOL

 

I used the 15 this weekend, needless to say I'm getting it. Extremely smooth, although the machine is a little heavy, you do not notice when operating it.

Phil how do you like it with an 6.5 Uber green pad?

 

I wasn't sure how it would go but its actually a nice combo.

 

I knew it!!

Thanks Phil! uber green pad FTW!

 

do you use it the same way you would a griots or regular orbital? What one do you reccomend more the 21 or the 15

 

yes you would use it the same way, but these machines are much more aggressive, so caution is needed. The 21 is more for flat panels IMO, and 15 is for cure panels IMO.

please read KB thread for more info

yes you would, the 21mm is what we are using right now, our 15mm will be on its way.

 

So you would be using lower speeds then you would with other machines

 

Let us know which one you like better and your opinions please!

 

I've been running my LHR21 on speed 4-5 with light to moderate pressure on cutting steps and slowing it down for finishing.

Curious to see what others have been using though....

Looks really good Phil, surprising the MF pad finished down that well, especially on SS paint (I think?)

 

yes saw Dave polish it out with my own four eyes LOL
