Yes, you can use any pads as long as they safely fit the new backing plate. Very useful if a very specific pad/compound works to correct the paintwork that's in front of you.
@@faegyrfvvc We've re-watched the footage and the only time the machine dropped speed slightly was at 0:17 - John was adjusting his grip and let go of the trigger slightly - the machine certainly didn't stall - but thank you for watching and commenting.
Omg I would love on of these I have the rupes mark iii now 5 or 6 years it’s lhr15 do they do the in electric like the mark iii or is it just battery power
It also should be atleast as powerfull as milwaukee=lot more powerfull than flex. Flex is super weak, shinemate mate is pretty good and milwaukee is very powerful.
@@patrickvennard838 Rupes quote 1.75KG for the HLR15, which is without the battery. We had limited time with the machines at time of filming so we can't give you an accurate answer. Flex quote 2.4KG for the XFE. At time of writing the only battery available for both machines is the 5Ah. You get 2x 5Ah batteries with both machines.
The best of the best ,
So awesome
Can it be used with non rupes pads? I know it has been designed from ground up so just wondering if it’s built for rupes pads only?

Can’t wait until mine gets to me in a couple of weeks ! #ChristmasInMarch
Did the polisher stall out?
Thanks for watching! If you mean at 1:45, no. Bill slowly released the trigger.
Oh it did! I saw it too! And it was before 1:45

Is it capable of cutting really hard Mercedes paint?
Yes, with the correct compounds and pad combination this machine will be capable of cutting these paints.

Currently the HLR15 is only battery powered. We believe in the future they are going to add the ability to add a power adaptor so you can run on 240v
What is that blue pad?
That's the Rupes D-A Intermediate: www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/products/rupes-d-a-intermediate-foam-polishing-pad
How does it feel compared to Flex Polisher?
Thanks for watching Patrick. It's a nicer weight (lighter), very well balanced and the handle is great to hold (grippy).
How much lighter than an XFE? and can you get a 2.5ah battery to make it lighter again? @@cleanandshinyuk
