I was able to use 6" Rupes DA pads for the entire car minus the front bumper. Again working on the same M2 Competition this machine saved me a few hours of time and the headache of pad stalling. Turns out this was another poor assumption. When I purchased this machine I was under the impression that I would be able to use it for a simple one step or paint cleaner considering its only battery powered. This helped push me to consider a gear driven machine.Īfter seeing an Autogeek video on youtube, as well as being a sucker for battery operated machines I decided to give the Flex gear driven DA a try. This forced me to have to go over sections 2 or 3 times. At times the 3" wasn't small enough to keep the pad rotating even on really big sections of the car like where the rear quarter panels meet's the door's. I was forced to use the 3" Rupes on over 50% of the car to avoid complete pad stalling. Every single body panel minus the roof on this car is either very curvy or loaded with kink's or even worse a mix of both. I polished it out last year with the Rupes DA's. My test subject was a bmw M2 competition. Especially on modern cars with lots of curvy body panel. This machine is incredible for paint correction. I have always steered clear of them from reading comments and other peoples opinions about the user experience. This is my first forced rotation DA that I've used in years.
