Scott literally owns every single tool from every brand out there. I've concluded that it's easy to get a positive review from Scott as long as the tool doesn't stall. He seems to love almost all his polishers, except for the Rupes which stalls. Whether its Harbor Freight or Rupes. If it doesn't stall on rotation, he seems to give a positive review!
Who’s this imposter pimping Rupes on Scott’s channel? Hell has frozen over.
2 Rupes products on one weekend? And you like both? OK now, who's booking the therapist! Great as always, keep those reviews coming
Scott, you are my favorite detailer on UA-cam. Your honesty is so very helpful and appreciated. I know I can except a BS free video.
My recommendation for a video is on detailing proficiently. How to get done faster while not sacrificing quality.
I was looking for that information
about the pads because I have a lot of pads from griots, -3-D- 3M- buff n shine-
Finally I found a guy with experience that said that I can used different pads for the
mille 900E LK
Thanks 🙏 😊
Just put it in my someday list. Thanks, Scott
i like it as well Scott il be testing that new Makita this week too. i used the LK900 Fri night on a very expensive black lacquer table for a client in NYC it came out excellent
Auto Fanatic I miss the city:)
I absolutely believe you got amazing results!
Keep it real my friend and keep working hard:)
I think you will like the Makita ...
New makita. Really cuts well but very jumpy in forced rotation and free spin. Stalls easily. I am disabled and was given one but i had to give it back i couldnt use it. Even some very good detailers said its jumpy
it is the pads, my video is uploading now check it on my channel soon, all tools need time to get use to for me it is easy as i use tools for hours non stop doing solid surface work
@@autofanaticcars I've had my Makita,PO 6000C since Augusta 2017( Australian-European ) version !
6000c stands for 6" backing plate!
In my humble opinion it's better built and more powerful than the Rupes Mille 535rpm Makita PO 6000C 780rpm! Made in Japan!
Finishes better than the Flex XC 3401 VRG. Much quieter and smoother less vibration. I'm a Professional detailer that does high end cars and this machine is the best machine like you said 👊👍
Finally you convinced me to get that tool. I’ve been using the LHR15, but in my mind, I’ve been seriously thinking to buy it... Thanks man!!
Im going to look into that one. I have retired my big ole 7 inch Dewalt body shop buffer. Thanks Scott
I just saw a video of you saying “I’ll never give another dime to Rupes again” 😂😂😂
Had a chance to play with this at SEMA. Very nice tool and was very impressed.
Thanks Scott. Been on the fence about Flex 3401 or This. I have used Rupes but never owned because like you I just was never on the Bandwaggon for Rupes. But now just very ready to give it a go or the Flex. Thanks Scott
I have a 3401. I like it. Not interested in a regular Rupes. If I get one, The Mille will be the one. Great video. Thanks for sharing it.
I just got one for my collection. Amazing machine will have it this week.
Matches results by Auto Fantic. Now if they could make it a bit quieter it will be a new standard. Love the shop apron.
Little by little Rupes are conquering you Scott .... Lol, and it is ok no product is bad ... only that there are products that are for different sectors, uses and users different prices and categories
The speed dial on mine broke after 2 months
Cool, that’s a real man. This just show any company can produce something for anyone. We got to give any company a change to make something great!? 👌🚙
I only use RUPES machine from the NANO to the Mille passing by the 15 and the 3 inch.
Thanks again ! 👊🏾 always great info Scott
Makita PO5000C? a nice machine? Dual mode nice feature? novice here looking to buy an orbital polisher. i have been watching many of Scott's videos - he brings you back for some reason. thanks
Bro ive been on the fence for 2 months ,I put this in my list on Amazon and wife seen it and bought it.i polish big trucks,mostly imron and i polish boats gelcoat mostly.....can you give advice on pads,density, type foam or micro fiber,5inch or 6inch...maintenance on it,do i need a service primarily for head grease. Thank you for all you do for us....it means the world we love you as a human,and love your honesty
Hey Scott thanks for what you said about the Flex 3401. I thought I was going nuts trying to finish with it.
Scott, love the channel have watched a ton of vids. Can you comment or do a video on how you would clean and upkeep a Harley Davidson? Just got a 2017 police bike for work and want to keep it looking as fresh as possible even though it sees 30k miles a year of all conditions
I have a Flex 3401 and use it as the ultimate go to tool for one step polishing a car. I wonder if this polisher would be a good addition to the 3401. Since I have many clients that have a car want it polished but don't care about the extreme shine I personally do. They want to have it done. And one month later they go to an automated car wash again. So that's why I stopped multi stage paint corrections for each client. I try to decide for each client individually what approach I will use for them. Love using Menzerna 2500 and simply hit. Wonder what this machine could do for me.
pretty cool it looks like it doesn't vibrate at all hardly ty for this vid my hands are still tingling since 10 tonight lol
As you're wearing a Maxshine apron 🤣😂😭
Finally 👏👏👏
The flex 3401 is much older than this Mille so we can forgive it for its shortcomings. Great video 👍🏽
The Flex 3401VRG was the first, forced rotation machine made for auto paint correction.. The company makes big tools for polishing stones, etc., for way longer than the oldest 5 people working at this place... :)
I bought that first 3401VRG way back then, and tried it, it was ok but not anywhere near the power of direct drive that a rotary has...
Also any of these random orbitals are going to vibrate a lot and that is never good for your hands, etc., over long periods of time..
This is why I only use Rotary Power for all paint correction..
I tried it with MF pad and started fighting me , unbalanced , which pad option can be used with this machine??
Thanks
I'm trying to learn the same thing,share if you can
Try wool.
Microfiber pads are grabby on forced action tools.
Maxshine apron. Did you do that on purpose? xD
Seriously, what I like about you is the no bs style. If it's good you'll say it, if not. You are honest. I admire that.
He doesn’t turn it on until 3:42 if you’re looking for how loud it is
Bring it to a job with defects and show us some before and afters. Please and thanks!
He will never do that...
Is the Mille able to cut as good as the Flex 3401? I heard that it generally takes _longer_ to cut the same amount as the Flex, but does it have the same cutting ability as the Flex? I have been using the weaker PC 7424XP for over 8 years, and it works great for minor/medium defects but I’ve found it doesn’t quite have the power to take out deeper scratches on harder surfaces- even with aggressive compound and pads. Speed and Efficiency is not a factor for me, as I will be only working on my personal cars, so I won’t need to get through many cars quickly.
I tried the my Flex 3401 with Flash Pro on my black Corvette. It appears to leave a bunch on weird tiny marks. I only did a test section but had to stop. I was not sure if its the tool or the polish?
Dear Sott, re-starting out a a mobile detailing business, which of the one polisher would recommend to get: Flex 3401, MaxShine 15M or this Mille? Thanks
Hi Scott, thank you for all your videos, helped me a lot! I am looking for a DA that can switch between 5" and 3" but also able to do curve jobs well. I see your other video about Griot vs Harbor Freight, and Griot is not doing well on curve surfaces. Can your Harbor Freight switch plates without any issues? Thx and keep all your videos coming!
So I currently have a Porter Cable but I am looking to upgrade to something stronger. I was looking at the flex 3401 and the rupes 15mm throw but wondering if this should be my next upgrade. Any recommendations?
Hello I'm thinking of buying rupeas dap150 what is your opinion on this machine how would you rate it what mark would you give out of 10
Hello, I'm a newbie, I just finished my car and its a lot of work. I would like to know which da polishers have the lowest vibration? So I can upgrade later...
How does this machine do compared to Makita PO5000C??
I like to know too, thinking get a Fix rotation
I third that inquiry for comparison. The Makita is less and had the free spin option as well.
The Makita is a great machine ... you get the good cutting of a fixed rotation, then you switch to finish out. No one is talking about it because it’s not one the the “brand names” of flex and rupes
No ones talking about it because it's not that good compared to the Flex or the Rupes. The makita is loud, it walks on its own very easily, the ability to switch from forced to DA is great but the DA portion of it sucks. Small throw, takes longer to finish down nicely. Overall, it's price point is near the Flex and Rupes and it's just not as good of a machine.
The few reviews I have seen show it has very good positive attributes. I'm totally discounting the free spin option as no other machine has it, that I know of, and it's not the reason I would buy one. Makita generally makes quality items, that doesn't mean this one is. But I don't want to rule it out without more substantive information.
i need a guide, most of my cars have medium scratch, swirls little bit lighter ones, what is MUST HAVE compound product, plz recommend, i found a video from Scott, BOSS fast correction cream dose it do job ?
thank you for this great explanation and logic, George K Australia
What are your thoughts on this vs the shurhold? I just got mine and I’m loving it. Also, thank you for that Scott!
so scott i just got the flex a couple days ago i havent used it yet should i take it back, before i get started with it?
All Rupes electric polishers sound like that. Almost like there's marbles spinning around in the head connecting the backing plate. While annoying at first I've come to really enjoy it.
How did not not get first????
Can I put different pads like 3D, or meguiars pads on this Mille polisher?????
wow....so i should keep my flex
Happens to me with nanoskin
@Rodney
I traded in my Rupes for a Mikita PO5000. After working with it for a couple of months now I think that the Mikita is the better machine and will not have any engineering flaws. The Mikita machine was also a hundred $ cheeper. The Mikita is like the Flex VRG with more POWER.
Would this be good for 1 step polishing using griots finish sealant? Thanks
What would be a good starting polisher. I love cleaning and detailing my family’s cars but I’m afraid of buffing waxing and polishing. What kind of advice could you give a beginner?
I'd go for a Rupes Bigfoot Mk3 15.. Can't go wrong on that one. Won't screw up your paint in case of error.
Can you use gear rotation with microfiber pad?
That is the new one right? I thought this was not released yet
The flex 3401 as both the 5 inch and 6 inch.
Personally I would prefer to just stick to my rotary which can have 8,7,6,5,4,3,2 and even 1 inch pads all on the same machine without having to buy any additional machines
TheDrnorton which da is that?
Jimmy Becker the answer is to not use a DA at all and just learn to use a rotary machine properly which can have every size pad on only one machine
I agree with Dr for the most part. I rotary to quickly correct defects then second stage with a 6,5 or 3in da polisher to take care of swirls. Don't see a need for this Rupes
david hall I get the whole point of these Rupes machines and the flex is to have the pad not stop spinning, well the rotary never stops spinning so why not just rotary and save money on machines. 🤔. So yes David, I’m on the same playing field as you, I rotary cut, then DA finish. Works well!
I use Rotary Power for everything and never swirl or hologram, so it is pretty much a 1 machine shop. I also have one of the first Flex3401VRG machines from almost 10 years ago, and it hardly ever gets used.. Great machine, runs counter clockwise vs all others, is better for applying something after, etc., than heavy duty correction work..
My Makita with a spacer, and backing plates all the way down to 1 inch, is all I ever need. Direct drive, no vibration, no stalling, etc., just fast paint correction.
If you do this for a living, you have to be very efficient, innovative, and fast..
No time to wait for the put the name of it here____________________ random orbital to do the work, and vibrate your hands to death...
Does sound like a turbo prop
What happened to the maxshein
And the Shurhold, and the Harbor Freight, and the maxshine, and the xxxx... ??? Pretty obvious this is just a marketing channel...
Great video! Very helpful. I’ve been professionally detailing cars for several years and have only been using rotary buffers. I’m very happy with my results but I’ve always wanted to try a dual action polisher or polisher such as this one in your video. For someone like me whose only used rotaries their whole life, what polisher would you recommend for me to try out as the first dual action/ non rotary as a first purchase?? Thanks in advance!
Scott what da would u recommend the shurhold or maxshine? Thanks
Jeffrey Eisenzapf, Get the MaxShine.
What happened to the haber freight polisher
whats the point in this? should it replace my DA? only want a tool for paint.
Remove the gear and felt ring from the 3401 then it’s free spinning
Sorry. I wasn't paying attention. Was it a Flex 3401 or something different?
Mitch184 not sure need to rewatch
Would it be great for a sl 55 amg Mercedes
Can you use the meguiars microfiber pads with them?
Yes, you certainly can. Wool pads work incredibly well with it also. The Rupes coarse and medium wool and the Lake Country Forced Hybrid wool and foam pads are amazing on gear driven machines.
You talk about less vibration, and you like maxshine, you eating your words :)
This is forced rotation and you can't compare it to a maxshine or even a rupes long throw polisher for that matter..
So I have no clue what you're trying to say when it comes to vibration...lol
You're so silly my friend
Had one sold it ..rupes mark2 21 all day :)
Jonas Tornemalm man!!
I would have purchased it:)
sold the rupes
Is sounds like some orbital machines I've used
Well Scott it seems they heard you!!
What's the quietest DA u ever used?
There are NO quiet DA machines.. The quietest one is the one that is not turned on...
The quietest Rotary - Makita 9227, or now the newest one believe its 9237 or something...
Flex is the master of Forced rotation, they invented the design within the DA’s.
These types of machine’s are for guys that are experienced in rotary.
I Want it
Mille--if it's Italian it means 1000 =)
See Tardisius, you didn't pronounce it, you just spelled it again. It's (me lay)
I lived in Naples for 5 years =)
Navy?
RM3 =)
I wasn't Navy, but that means Radioman 3rd Class, right? I lived in Verona for 20 years.
Whaaaaat!
First he said he will never buy a rupes ever again
Then what does he do? He buys another one , he gets paid to say something nice about these machines , stop spreading lies you con man
Always love the pretentious talking hands:)
$600 for a polisher?????
jMichael Powell 600 Euros
Flex xce is much better 😊👍
Daily driver video.....
Дурацкая машинка, просто Марк 3 лучше 15мм
This is the worst. What did you
do look in the mirror and talk yourself to do this video. Watch YOUR video. You continue to repeat yourself. Read your review's. You say Maxshine and Chicago. Com on man.
This is Sunday take the week off.
Dallas Paint Correction & Auto Detailing This U tune makes it a person can say anything. I'll go to the back of the classroom. Where your joke starts and ends I missed it. Don't quit your day time job lol
Patrick Guida of course you can say anything, just like saying i repeat myself often..I'm just returning the right to call you a moron and sitting in the back of the class is just fine with me because even in the back of the class you should still be able to hear me call you a moron either way:)
What in the world is going on in dallas
Corey Burse I know right!!
I think he has lost his mind:)
Rupes is a bourgeois brand, I will never give them an penny ! ...LoL
Quality = the lowest cost product/service that is similar or better than compared to a more expensive product/service unlike the regular Joe on the street that thinks Quality equates to a higher cost which they have been brainwashed from the corporately bought media.
