Going to purchase a Rupes Bigfoot. Any sifu can recommend should I get the 21" or 15"? If get 21" can change the backing plate to 15"?

Anymore gatherings that sifus sekalian can show a newbie detailer on the tips and tricks on paint correction?

Personally, I like the LHR15 over the LHR21. I've tried both before deciding & the 21mm throw was too much for my liking/preference. Furthermore, I like using the smaller pads.

Yes you can get the extra LHR15 backing plate to use with smaller pads but, just FYI, the throw would still be 21mm.

There's one DIT (Do It Together) in the pipeline....trying to sort out the details. Stay tuned.

That would be the B&D.

LOL....Used to be 'just for waxing only' but you'd be surprised what some of the current polishes can do on that machine. Even my Bosch is now able to remove sanding marks, which was quite impossible to do during 'those times'....hehehe....

Btw, wanted to ask you for long time already but keep delaying and forgetting. How come got *extra* pads in the bag you gave back ah?

You should know better that 'cheap' doesn't always agree with 'good'..... tongue.gif

Joking aside....you should give DG105 a try....that or Menzerna Power Lock.

It's pretty nice working with Meg's UC, UP and UPW. UP smells like the vanilla filling in twinkies, while UPW smells like white chocolate. drool.gif

Thanks for the advice sifu KrisMas ! i think ill go with the LHR15 too because the other is quite big so hard to reach smaller or curvier places.

How far away roughly is the Do it Together? biggrin.gif

My plan is to do paint correction myself, apply Opticoat 2.0, and finally with Swissvax.
So really need to learn step by step and do it carefully. Youtube & google can only teach you that much, practical and hands on is more important i feel.

Anyone tried ezy touch up to tackle stone chip paint?

i did last week, using autospa touch up paint...

well, depends on ur expectation, for me, it do a pretty decent job....but my chips was probably just 1 or 2mm so it's not that obvious. and i got the color for my car finally in malaysia.... honda's polished metal metallic laugh.gif

but u must know, i took care alot of my car according to my fren, but here, i might be consider just someone who don't care about car given how other forummers took care of theirs...

so..really depends on ur expectation smile.gif
