    PostalTwo reacted to Dylan@RUPES in POWER vs. CONSUMPTION - why bigger isn't always better   
    No problem guys. 
     
    Also, Jason was in Italy when Larry from AMMO NYC stopped in to visit. They put together a very nice video that shows what all this translates to, which is increased pad rotation regardless of contour. The more efficient motor produces more torque which produces this increase in performance.
     
    Easy to find on the web if you search it out.

    I will bet money you will be placing many more orders after this one.  Probably will make another order the day you get your current order.

    I'm not just saying this because I work for Adam's (I've been a customer since 2005 long, long before I started working here last year), but I will say that our Leather Conditioner is the best conditioner I've ever used on leather interior. It is not lanolin-based like other conditioners, so it will not leave a slippery feeling for days. If you hop into the seats immediately after conditioning them, they are going to feel a little bit slippery, but not exactly greasy. The slipperiness will dissipate quickly as well. I detail a lot of cars on the side for friends and family, and I have never had one person complain about their seats when they pick up the vehicle - most usually comment how awesome the seats feel and how great the interior smells
     
    The Leather & Interior Cleaner will pull out a ton of dirt from your leather and adds no shine or protection. It is a strong cleaner, so read the directions and use it on a test-spot first to make sure it does not pull any color out of the leather. The Leather Conditioner will add a bit of a satin finish, and if you put it on very thick it is going to shine, but it will level off to a more satin finish. If you want a completely matte finish, that is difficult to achieve with a thick creme-based conditioner, but as Chris stated, you can take a premium microfiber towel and knock-down or buff off the shine as it dries.
     
    Our Leather Conditioner is also SPF 65 for excellent UV protection, and it does have an incredible like-new scent that smells just like leather!
     
    For a completely matte, no-shine finish on interior panels and leather, use our Total Interior Detailer spray instead. It dries to a completely matte factory finish.

    I recently used the leather and interior care kit on my Challenger with leather seats and I was blown away by how well it worked.  The seats are perfect and that smell is worth a million bucks!  I also feel that I am able to slide in and out of the seats better.  That's important because over time it will help the leather from cracking or wearing.  You won't be disappointed!  Welcome to the family!

    You won't be disappointed! Just go back and wipe it down with a MF towel to knock down the little bit of shine you might see. And that smell... ????

    There is actually some cleaner in the conditioner as well, so you're good to go.  The SPF factor in the conditioner is one of my excuses for using so much of it.  My cars are always in the sun with it beating down on the dash and seats.  That SPF factor helps protect them from drying out and fading. 
    Good stuff!

    Personally I do it all, Granted I tend to go a bit far but it makes me feel better to spend the time doing it. Heck I clayed the door jams last time and put paint sealant on them.

    And with the Cyclo you can also add brushes to clean the carpets and maybe scrub the bedliner.

    I have 3 machines. 2 PC's one with a 4 inch backing plate the other with a 7 inch so I do not have to keep switching plates all the time, and my favorite, a Flex 3401. I do a lot of paint correcting for customers so it makes it easier for me not to switch pads all the time, but if thats not what your doing, I l'd buy a Flex. Using the variable speed is great, very comfortable to use, very minimal vibration from the Flex and WOW does it correct paint. Lots of backing plates and pads available as well. I do like my 2 PC's theyt just do not work as fast or as efficient as the Flex. Never used a Cyclo, or a Rupes so cant tell you how those work but I hear good things. I just thought I would stick with a proven machine that is recommended by many professional detailers.As with most people, you start with a PC and end up buying a Flex , quicker and faster.There is a PC listed under "Garage Sale Forum" for $50 yesterday,(a great buy) I would buy that if I didnt have 2 already. You can never have enough tools !!!!

    Rupes 15 hands down! The easiest machine to use with the perfect amount of power. Plus the 6" pads are great for covering a lot of surface area..

    My personal recommendation for a good all around machine would be the Rupes 15. I have All Rupes machines and love them several Flex rotaries and 3401. A couple of PC . AS I do this as a side business. I have never used a cyclo so I can't comment . But I find for someone that wants only one machine that the Rupes 15 fits that bill perfectly.

    If it's in the budget, I'd go with the Rupes 15. Very nice, smooth machine with plenty of correcting power. Or since a truck has large panels you could get a 21, but then it might be nice to have a Mini for the smaller areas. It really depends on your budget. I'm not a fan of the PC because of the vibration, but many people use it and are happy with its performance.

    I do not have a problem finishing down with the Flex. It is more aggressive then the Cyclo or Rupes. I tried the Rupes 15 this past weekend and was really impressed with it. I did just get the Rupes Mini to help get all the small areas and am glad I got it. I started out with the PC and then moved to the Flex. All are great machines.

    That's a great question.....Have you used a machine before?
    The Rupes and Flex are way more comfortable to use, they won't beat you up like say the PC.
    That being said we all have and have used PC's and they will get the job done.....it may just take longer.
    All of the machines that Adam's sell are SAFE on your clear coat.

    Trevor, since price is not a factor, and you seem to be looking for "one machine" to fit your needs for keeping the truck polished, and most likely lightly corrected as needed, I would recommend the Cyclo.
     
    This is based on my experience, it is a very well balanced, easy to use on both large and smaller areas, and as long as major correction isn't a concern, should meet your needs very well.
     
    Myself, I have numerous, and each one has a specific place where I tend to use it, but the Cyclo always seems to be the one I grab when there isn't much correction to do, and I want a machine which finishes great without any vibration issues.
     
    Check out the Adam's videos on the machine polishers, they even have one which tries to show you which machine may fit your particular needs.

    PostalTwo reacted to Ricky Bobby in Rupes Bigfoot, but which one??   
    ^The GG3 is absolutely not powerful at all, a PC with 4" pads is about twice as powerful in my experience.
     
    If you have a GG6 though, I'd continue to utilize it, they will replace it with a new one if it dies as well.  Slap some 4" or 5" pads on it when needed and treat yourself to a Rupes 21 for the larger areas.
     
    Throw the GG3 on ebay or something if you're going this route, OR buy the Cyclo carpet brush for it and use it for carpet duty exclusively.

    PostalTwo reacted to WRXnItUp in Storing microfiber revitalizer   
    So I am late to this thread. I've had 2 of the clear bottles crack on me with the revitalizer, and I like the idea of spot spraying the heavy areas before the wash.  Are the new "frosted" bottles available now, or is it still not something that is normally stocked? I have 3-4 of the clear bottles that I notice have cracked (other one had the green all purpose cleaner) and am looking to replace the bottles with something that will last.
     
    Thanks!
