RUPES Polishers

There are a number of polishers available from RUPES, but the Bigfoot line of polishers is one of the most highly-regarded families of polishers in the industry! This includes:

Bigfoot Random Orbital Polishers: The most common polisher, these operate in random elliptical cycles known as orbits, where the head moves back and forth as well as circularly. Options like the RUPES LHR15III provide for an even pattern that helps to avoid overheating, making it great for beginners!
Bigfoot Rotary Polishers: These are the most powerful polishers on the market, but also have the steepest learning curve. Models like the RUPES LH19E Bigfoot Rotary Polisher create plenty of heat and friction to correct the deepest defects – but this also requires a light hand to prevent overheating or burning into the clear coat or paint.
Bigfoot Dual Action Polishers: These high-speed, high-power polishers combine the best of rotary and random orbital polishers. It features forced rotational movement, along with orbital motion, helping to tackle deeper defects similarly to the rotary polisher while lessening the chance for overheating through orbital movement. Take a look at the RUPES LK900E Bigfoot Gear-Driven Dual Action Polisher!

You can also find these in different sizing, including mini versions like the RUPES LHR75E Bigfoot Mini Random Orbital polisher for the smallest surfaces and spaces.
