The history of gear-driven orbital polishers Mike Phillips

Good pro-active thinking. The only difference between sanding single stage (any type old or new paint chemistry) and clearcoat paint is with single stage paint - the hardness or softness is in part determined by the pigment used to color the paint. An example would be, White paint gets its...

And he re's my answer translated from English to Italian Per quanto ne so, tutte le lucidatrici roto-orbitali a corsa ampia (long-throw) a rotazione libera sono copie degli utensili RUPES. Ipotizzando che la Shinemate sia una copia fedele della lucidatrice RUPES BigFoot da 15 mm, ecco i...

Yes - that's how I think and how I work. I want to get in and get out - while maintaining pro-level quality. To my knowledge - ALL long stroke, free spinning, random orbital polishers are copies of the RUPES tools. Assuming the Shinemate is a close copy of the RUPES BigFoot 15mm polisher...
