RUPES has been leading the way in machine polishing tool technology since its launch in 1951. In 2008, they launched the first polisher with a 10mm throw – far larger than had previously been seen on a dual-action machine. In 2010, the BigFoot brand took shape; this range offered two dual action polishers with differently sized throws. The LHR21ES with a 21mm throw, ideal for body shops needing to cover large areas quickly; and the LHR15ES with a 15mm throw, aimed at the professional car detailing market. Since their successful launch we have seen countless new models add including the Mille Gear Driven, iBrid Nano and HLR75 cordless polishers. Some original machines have also continuous improvements over the years with the original LHR15ES now on a MK III version.
Rupes do not just manufacturer the tools for polishing a car but also have some best developed compounds and pads specifically designed to complement the motion and speeds of their polishers. Pick up the compounds and pads separately or if you are starting out, and the with your chosen machine polisher. Everything you genuinely need to get started as either an enthusiast or professional detailer.
Since then, the range has progressively expanded to feature a variety of innovative machine polishers offering car care enthusiasts and professional detailers true flexibility in their selection of the right tool for the job at hand!
Which Rupes Polisher Do I Need?
For a beginner we would certainly recommend the Rupes BigFoot LHR15 MK1. Used by experienced professionals since its launch over 10 years ago and only replaced by the later Mk2 & Mk3 models; the LHR15 is no slouch of a machine polisher and will certainly bring your car or vehicle up to a high gloss finish.
What is the best professional machine polisher?
The LHR15 MK3 is the leader on the BigFoot range and will be your go to machine polisher. If you specialise in large vehicles or body shop then the LHR21 MK3 may be a better alternative to get the job done quicker. To adequately handle those tighter areas choose either the LHR75 or the cordless HLR75 to breeze through the work and save you time.
