Ive just ordered a rupes mark 3 polisher and i was across the youtube looking for reviews with actual information about the feel and usage of the machine not just statistics, wats and so on, and found this chanel. Im like wow, finaly a guy who actualy knows what he's doing, very well explained, keep the good work 👏
Good Afternoon! I am happy to hear you ordered one. They are absolutely amazing and useful. You will get great results and love it. Thank you for the kind words. Sometimes, I wonder if the videos I make are helpful, but when I hear encouragement like this, it makes me want to continue making them! Thanks, Kevin
Guys I love the video and advice. I'm an entry level detailer when it comes to paint correction.. should I start with the mark 3 or start with something else?
So is the rupes 15mm mark lll the best for professional use I work at a dealership and all I do is sand and buff i usaly just use my flex pe 14-2 150 and is the washer mod worth it or leave it alone
Hey! Yes, if you finish in trizact 3000 the rupes will remove it. I recommend going slow, use plenty of liquid and a Rupes wool pad.... they are amazing! Finish it in foam and be done!
Is there a good guide to know what cars/manufacturers have harder or softer clearcoat just as a prerequisite before I start? Is it dependent on the age of the paint as well and also how it was cared for? Great video thank you
Thank you for the compliment. I would say as a general rule, European cars tend to be harder by nature, but any car can be hard or soft. I am not exactly sure why, must be how the paint is cured. The biggest time saver will be doing a test spot, that will tell you whether you paint is soft or hard. I feel like a lot of people skip this step, but it is the key to figuring out your plan of attack on each car. Thanks for watching!
Congrats! Absolutely.... I would take your time, pay attention, keep the machine flat, keep the car, yourself, and the pads clean. Prime your pad to begin with and add light amounts of product as you need it. Tape off anything plastic or anything you dont want to "burn" with a polisher. Pay attention to the backing plate and make sure you don't "karate chop" the panel with the edge of the pad. Lastly, create your own style and have fun. It is supposed to be an art! Oh..... and make sure you clean your pads roughly every panel with compressed air or a microfiber and alcohol if you don't have air. I have another video on pad cleaning. Good luck and happy polishing!!
@@autocorrectionspaintanddetail thanks ! I will take the advices and try to get good at this :D but first watch some more of your videos to understand more, your videos are really good man ! /cheers from Sweden
Thanks for watching! You are probably right, you may get some correction, but you really want full pad rotation for full correction, in my humble opinion...
@@autocorrectionspaintanddetail well that is what makes it a DUAL action polisher. Having rotation does add to correction but if it stops momentarily you still have oscillation correction. Rupes even states this.
Is there a blue light or some type of light that I can see the scratches with with garage lighting or sunlight it’s hard to see the scratches at certain angles and I have seen some body shops use handheld lights any recommendations? Thanks
@@autocorrectionspaintanddetail thanks yeah I look from different angles left and right up and down and it looks great but then in different lighting I see that I didn’t sand out the scratches 100%. So I would like to have a light that would show me immediately if I have more scratches to sand and get the job done faster without having to go back and rebuff the panel again. ✌️
@@frederickporras4892 Sorry for the late reply, I didn't see your comment. For me it comes down to a feeling and experience. I almost always polish spots twice, even if I think I have removed the scratches. Most of the time you can remove it in one pass, but there may be a little haze left over. With that being said, I usually polish the spot once to get the bulk of it and repolish real quick to completely clean it up. After you polish for some time it will get a lot easier. I have polished countless complete vehicles where I have sanded every panel from edge to edge. In these jobs I learned that being overly particular pays off. One more thing that would help is to mix a bottle of "IPA" otherwise known as isopropyl alcohol. You can take 70 percent rubbing alcohol and mix it 50/50 with water. After you polish, take a microfiber towel and your ipa mix and spray the panel, then wipe the residue. This will remove the polishing oil, which may somewhat hide the sand scratches. Other than that..... Happy Detailing!!

Loved your video, I’m a painter of 28 years myself. It’s a love and a art for sure!
Thanks for the kind words! You are definitely right about that! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for clearing up the meaning of section passes!
Thanks for watching!
Great video. I’ve just purchased one of these polishers to replace my entry level one I’ve had for a few years now.
Thank you and glad to hear! You will absolutely love it!!

If I wet sand with 2500-3000 grit automotive sandpaper will the rupes buff out the sand scratches? Thanks

Thank you for subscribing!
I hope you enjoy the videos!
Just because the pad stops rotating does NOT mean it has stopped correcting. You are still getting orbital correction.

You can always shut the lights off and use a flashlight or a swirl finder light
You would be surprised how much better you can see with the lights off and a flashlight.... unbelievable!!
