I need to get a Rupes DA polisher...anyone know of any sales or promotions? I have looked at the main detailing sites but come up empty.

thanks

Good luck. I just bought one and they are priced like Apple. Same price everywhere you go. Only chance is free shipping. You can also catch a few places that if you buy one at the regular price they will throw in some free product but the retail stays the same.

thanks for the info...I assume you are happy with your Rupes?

Absolutely love it. Got it from Autogeek and if you call I forget her name but she will throw in some goodies for free. I think I got free shipping, MF towels and some sample size products. I came from an old Griot's DA.

awesome! One other question; maybe I should post on the detailing forum...but thinking of buying a Rupes mini versus the bigger BigFoot...might sound crazy, but at this point can only justify buying one...and I think that the mini will be useful for tight areas. Can the mini be used on larger body panels? I would think so, just takes more time...

any opinions welcome

thanks

I would do the bigfoot with the 5" pads. I tried the 6.5" and they were just too big for the car. You can do most of the car effiecientlyy with 5". The smaller areas are easier to do by hand. The smaller one will take much longer to do the car, I beleive those are 3" pads.

Hope that helps.
