I Purchased a Brand New Rupes Polisher & IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT APART!!!

- Long-throw dual action polishers have become the go-to machines for both professionals and automotive enthusiasts. These machines yield excellent results in a shorter amount of time, making them a clear choice when time is money. The best part is that they are much more user friendly compared to the dated rotary polishers.
A unique trait that the Rupes BigFoot and Griot’s Boss polishers share is that they do not spin freely like other free-sprinkle machines. This is because these machines were designed with a shroud that always is in contact with the top of the backing plate. This does not allow the backing plate to spin unless the machine is turned on. The shroud was engineering to slow excessive backing plate rotation when the pad is not under load while the machine is running. So in situations where the pad is not in contact with a polishing surface, or barely in contact with the surface, and the machine is turned on, the ultimate speed of rotation is limited by the friction between the shroud and the backing plate. This was seen as a potential performance inhibitor.
The idea behind this simple ‘Washer-Mod’ is to eliminate the contact between the shroud and backing plate by inserting a thin washer between the mating faces allowing the backing plate to spin freely and therefore increase the backing plate rotation. The benefit here is that more backing plate rotation can lead to an increase in cutting speed while also potentially aiding in your polishing results as well.

I’ve actually had hands on training with rupes with Alberto, And modifying the polisher can result in premature failure. Anyway the rubber shroud is just causing a bit interference, but with the new mark 2 more power makes up for all that. Also over use the rubber will wear. And over time a washer mod will not be needed
Shouldn’t switch backing plate size, A company does years of research and the experts come in and do everything they come up with
Great video, but I don’t think it’s a great idea that putting a 5” backing plate on a 21, it has a reason of using a 6” BP on 21, check out the video that Rupes explains why you shouldn’t swap BP plates over on different machines, just stick with 15 if you really wanna use a 5”pad I think:)
Great video, Milan. Very informative! Thank you for making it! All the best, Rob (in Switzerland)
Thank you Rob! :) Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
That washer mod works. I had problem when polishing I would see little black dots splatter on paint and realize backing plate was hitting the rubber on the polisher.
Its such a cheap mod that goes a long way!
Hey Milan, can you make a video on best masking tapes and how to tape a car before detailing. Thanks and great videos keep it up!
If the washer mod is such a great idea, why don't they build it that way in the first place?
That's a great question!!
genial video que tipo de arandela usas ene este video? que medida es la arandela , veo en otros videos que utilizan una arandela mas grande y la liman , liman desgastan con una piedra los dos costados de la arandela , saludos desde argentina
Great little mod on a superb polisher, lucky you Milan, I am jealous, thanks for the upload 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I wonder why RUPES didn’t design the machine with this washer mod straight out of the factory. This mod must affect your warranty?
Presumably because it works better without the washer.
@@andyh8239 absolutely NOT! Rupes designs these machines to be consumer friendly but not void warranty if you apply this modification. Some of the things in this video are true there are a few that are not. Probably just a mistake and he didn't realize it when he said it. Why in the hell he would have to do a second step IDK because I promise you that those defects should've been removed and ready for sealant in just one step
Washers :) I have 2 Rupes, tried washers; performed as you told. Much better. Thanks to you so much
Most welcome 😊
I got my Duetto used, and it had a washer in it. I pulled that thing out, and started using their line of pads / polishes and never looked back.
There was a learning curve though... But I'll never put a washer in that tool again..
danlc95, I’m going to be receiving a Rupes Duetto tomorrow. I wanted to ask about the washer mod that was in your Duetto. I wanted to ask why you took the washer out. Obviously you thought it was more beneficial. I want the Duetto to be as efficient as possible. Thank you.
Excellent video!!
Rrr (roll your tongue) oooh-pezzz
great video what kind of washer do you use in this video? what is the size of the washer, I see in other videos that they use a larger washer and file it, file the two sides of the washer with a stone, greetings from Argentina
It's "ROO-PES"
J M Ru-Pez lol
@@tfiksdale Ruu-pess, not with a Z, there is no Z in Rupes.
@@alduin69 that's just how you say it. I know that you dumb sum bitch
The idiot said roo-pes. Its ruu-pess. Get your shit together you punk kid.
I love Mini Coopers, I'm a Mini owner myself!
great vid first one to show about the backing plate and in use going to buy the 21 mk2 but are u sure about putting the 5 inch backing plate does it perform the same with no extra vibration some say its fine others say its a no no
Hi, could you give me the dimensions of this pad ?. thank you
It would be great to see you detail a car that had part of it repainted in an accident to see how to deal with the different paints with the rupes
For European people who can't find the right sized washer, just drill a hole in a 2 cents coin and grind it at both sides and done!
LOL yeah I guess that will work!!
Chi Young Kim Choi lol ghetto asf. But you need to know the drillbit size now haha
8mm. went to many places looking for a washer that size and couldn´t find anything close at all. so...
What washer size you use? Thanx
i tryed this just ended up voiding my warranty when the engine burned
Hi, did you grind the edges of the washer? I read some info online at auto geek mentioning it was crucial to
grind the edges, also they mentioned they had many returns due to customers using rounded washers. Please let me know how the washer mod is holding up on your machine.
Thanks
If I were to use a larger washer, yes I would have to grind down the sides, but if you get one that is JUST small enough to fit around the bolt hole, you do not need to grind the sides down. It is still doing great to this day :)
milanmastracci My only issue is that when the washer isn’t covering that whole surface it can cause an imbalance to the machine (that’s what I heard) but if say its been working for u no problem I’ll give a try, thanks for the info dude
What’s your honest opinion on the dewalt buffer? I’d love to hear your output
It does a great job at cutting back the paint, however it will leave buffer trails in the paint, and is EXTREMELY noticeable on dark coloured cars. Other than it, its a terrific and powerful machine!
what polishing cream do you use and what brand pad?
milanmastracci how would you go about removing holograms? Just some good polish?
I use a Foam Meguiar's Finishing pad with Meguiar's M205 and it goes a great job and making the shine that much clearer without buffer trails / holograms :)
I thought we had to wait until Tuesday lol.
hey milan, I have an 8th gen coupe as well and was looking at 19x9 +40 offset rims and was wondering if 225 40 19 would be a good tire size for the wheels. A response would be appreciated, thanks!
225/40R19 on a 19x9 will 100% have stretch. If that is the look you are going for, than do it. I had some 18x9's before and ran 265's, and could have gone with 275's
oh wow. I'll have to do this to mine.
Nice videos, do you use m205 ultra finishing polish or one step griots?
thanks
I use M105 followed up with the M205 with 2 different pads. Gives unreal results with the Rupes :)
Im your 100 thumbs up man
👊👊👊
My polisher is breaking down and only had it for 6 months
...and the Mark III came out Novemeber 12th
I am facing with brand new rupes machine speed issue when I put on speed 1 the speed of machine turns into 6 speed
Do you even know what "take it apart" means?
You need a stainless steel washer.
🤔 humm you had the toll for 3 years, but then you say it came out a couple years ago? 😂
I was curious how that polisher is holding up after 2 years
Just as good as the day I bought it lol
Roops ?
How often should you polish your vehicle
Jerry Rasavong whenever the paint gets full of swirl marks and the paint looks dull
Exactly! It all depends how well you take care of it and how you wash the car. The safer you are with washing it, the less you'll be scratching it. The less you scratch it, the less often you will need to polish the paint.
You should polish as much as the car allows you to. If your car is clear coated , the layer of clear coat is fairly thick, but if you are like many of us that purchased an used car, chances are it has been polished before, be careful cutting to deep with the polisher or you may get into the base paint fo the car.
Seems lots of negative comments from RUPES Company HR managers or cyber cell team . Yes this works like charm and no need to buy multiple machines as RUPES charges hell lot of money 💰 for this machines. So moral of the story is changing BP is worth every penny and washer mod is always best part of it . Its 23mm washer available from £0.30 penny . Saw the rupes video about chabging BP side effects and it make me laugh 😂😂. Just chill and keep swaping BP from 15-21 and vice versa. Cheers 🎉
Hi Milan,
I think its been mentioned before....Its Roopez (phonetically)...not Rooops....with your first name being Milan (close to where Rupes are in Italy) you should be getting it right.
also you should credit Kevin Brown (AKA Buff daddy) for the washer mod
great vids though
Paul
Hey Mil!
Do a video on clearcoat oxidation PLEASE ! I need your help! ASAP
I need a car that has some, but I'm down :)
Clearcoat doesn't oxidize.
You dont have an old enough neglected vehicle. It def does oxidize and when it does the paint has a chalky type of look to it.
Good news is, it can be removed and fairly easily n quickly with a da or rotory.
Its when the paint basically dries up mainly from the sun and the oils and chemicals in the paint are dried up and also contaminates left on the paint help speed the process up and make it worse than it would of been.
You need to at least polish the paint, it can sometimes need compounding and in the case it gets abd enough, it will need repainting, as in the clear coat is peeling off. Sometimes thats from the process of not being cared for properly but when that happens its usually from something in the painting process that didnt happen the way it was supposed to, or bad cear coat that failed early for whatever reason. If theres big parts of the clwar missing with faded paint theres not much u can do there besides getting to the paint and if the paint is thick enough sanding to clean good paint and re clearing, but thats rare thats ever an option, usually only starting froms scratch is the only option.
Anymore........brainbusters? 😂
Rupes is a two syllable word...
can i buy any washer from the hardware shop?
Yes you can. Try to buy a stainless steel one. Something like aluminum or copper might be too soft
Sometimes at night I put a blanket on my car and play your videos for it if it’s feeling lonely.
Jk original comment:
What’s a good budget option for a polisher?
The Meguiars DA is a great polisher that is half the price of the Rupes one. It does a great job at removing scratches, but might take a bit longer to remove everything compared to any of the Rules. Bang for buck, its the best way to go; amzn.to/2LAyrd5
Im from germany so i dont know whether this one is available ... But try to search for the Krauss Shine master polisher or Lupus dual Action polisher they are very good
milanmastracci thanks for the reply. Still a bit of a plunge though... I think I’ll look for used ones and if that doesn’t work out maybe I’ll take the hit and go for it.
ShuffleNeoxi funny thing is that I’m currently on a trip in Germany from the United States. I’ll give them a look.
Joseph Samsor or if it should be Something on the level of the rupes, its a bit cheaper but Most of the european German Detailer Love the FLEX xfe polishers!! So if you can find Something in Germany in a Shop definitly give it a try. Its still expensive but not as much as the rupes polishers
Saludos Milán ahorita viendo tu video
Excelente eres el mejor en el detallado de automoviles
Where I can buy a washer mod? I can put one in any polisher like a torqx?
You didn't take anything apart..... lmao
Shared and liked Ur video
Merci beaucoup mon ami :)
👍👍
Give away your old one to me ;) been thinking of getting a polisher thing. Tired os seeing swirls
"Sorry Luca, someone wanted your polisher so I gave it to them". That sounds pretty good to me ahah
I subscribed
Thanks Alex!! :)
Can you install a 2 inch backing plate on it?
Scion FRS Toyota gt86 subru BRZ ...all same cars right
Pretty much! Same guts
MotorTrend Head 2 Head Ep. 89
Scion BRZ no its an FRS86 or is it a... lol
ru- pez not roops
Have you been working out, those biceps look bigger
Been lifting heavy car parts ;)
milanmastracci Haha right😉💪
It's pronounced Ru-pez
Giveaway your old polisher ...
Nothing without rotary power ....
Tarik S why would you need a rotary for minor swirl marks? The idea is to preserve as much clear coat as possible, so a rotary in this case is like hunting rabbit with a bazooka.
Nick M lol in europe we do hunt the rabbit with a bazooka (flex 14 2 150) especially on that german cars paint. No games :)
A da can create holograms
What's in the box? Come on! What's in the box?!
Jeffrey Rivers, it's probably a severed head. Lol!
Too bad youre like 2 hours away from me, Id let you try the TORQ 10FX, change your life lol. This issue doesnt exist, it feels much sturdier, and the controls are much more comfortable. I fund Rupes to be awkward and not as solid if that makes sense.
Highbatros I have the torque 22D I love it
