 Why Choose The Rupes Polishing System? | DETALKS | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:13:12

Rupes has made a large impact in the world of polishing due to their superior quality and iconic branding. But why choose a Rupes polisher over many of the competitors out there? Dylan Von Kleist joins Levia Gates on the set of Detalks to discuss the ins and outs of Rupes polishers. The long-throw polisher such as the bigfoot 21 has changed the game of polishing. Allowing faster correction and covers a LARGE surface area. This was a huge step in the detailing industry for those people who were used to shorter-throw polishers ranging from 8-12 mm. Dylan talks about the new forced rotation polisher to the Rupes lineup and the possible debut date for consumers. The gear driven polishers are preferred by many detailers and have come a long way. While Rotary polishers are still the most common tool, our detailers also discuss the rising market in DA polishers.Want to see more Rupes products?

 Innovation & Imitation In The Detailing Industry | DETALKS | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:13:38

At what point do innovations become imitations in the detailing industry? What if an imitation is improved? Does it then become innovation? Join us on this controversial topic and hear from the opinions from the Detailing Pro's. Rupes Marketing Manager Dylan Von Kleist joins the set of Detalks for a popular "discussion" within the detailing world. With 20 years of experience as a detailing guru, Dylan brings a outsiders perspective on the free market and "innovation." As many people know, microfiber isn't a patented material. Manufactures are free to create whatever they feel is an effective tool to clean cars safely and effectively. The Rag Company is not just a distributor, but also a manufacturers of Microfiber products. We have been creating products for almost 20 years and have experienced innovation and imitation. With Polishers, it's a bit different. There are patents on machines and the way they work. Dylan explains how the Rupes machines will have imitations, but none of them live up to the standard of Rupes.Want to see more Rupes products?

 NEW Rupes Microfiber Polishing Pads | DETALKS | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:08:32

Rupes has just released their new line of microfiber cutting and polishing pads and DETALKS is here to give you the first look! Rupes Marketing Manager Dylan Von Kleist joins Levi Gates to explain the new improvements! For anyone that has used microfiber cutting and polishing pads (especially with a powerful Rupes Bigfoot) then you know that things get HOT. What happens when things get hot? Nothing. Paint correction happens the fastest and safest when the surface is cool. A hot hood isn't going to correct properly and your microfiber pads are going to get gunked up. The NEW Rupes pads have a new manufacturing process with added vents to keep them cool while in use. The pads are now available for you LHR15, LHR21, and LHR75.Want to see more Rupes products? Check out their site!Have a suggestion or want to ask a question?

 Tales From An Exotic Car Dealer | DETALKS | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:12:48

Imagine buying a brand new exotic car and wrecking in within hours of leaving the showroom. We've all seen these type of videos on the internet, but it happens more often than you would think! Drake Beaudry of Lupo Motors joins the DETALKS session to discuss the tales of being an exotic dealer. While most stories end on a good note, there are always a few where things didn't go as planned. Getting hit in a brand new Ferrari is one prime example! Unlike a common dealership, when an exotic car or classic car gets damaged or wrecked, the outcome is a pretty big deal. As you can imagine, once a part is damaged on a classic car, it's no longer original to the car (and that's VERY important). Have any crazy stories involving exotic cars? We want to hear about them in the comments! Let us know what you got! Want to see some exotic cars? Check out his awesome inventory HERE.Have a suggestion or want to ask a question?

 Exotic Dealership Detailing | DETALKS | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:09:32

Not every exotic or classic car arrives in "perfect" condition at a dealership. There is a LOT that goes on behind the scenes to keep these high-end cars looking like they came off the showroom. Lupo Motors joins DETALKS to discuss the detailing work at an exotic dealership. Many people associate exotic cars and show-worthy classics with perfect paint, perfect interiors, etc. While that is the case sometimes, these cars can get driven hard. I mean, whats the point of having a Ferrari 458, a Lamborghini Gallardo, Mclaren 650s, if you don't use them to their potential? Lupo Motors offers in-house detailing for their cars in storage and their sale lineup. Drake has seen some cars that were in "rough shape" and needed serious paint corrections, rock chip repairs, scratch repair etc. With a high priced car, you should never settle for a low priced detail. Lupo Motors stands by their work and their showroom. Hopefully this video will give you a look into the work that a boutique dealership does to make sure your new (used) car is as good as it can get. Keep in mind, this is't always the case and when buying an exotic car or a super car, make sure to see the vehicle in person first :) Want to see some exotic cars?
