Rupes LHR 15ES Big Foot Random Orbital Basic Kit
Includes essential polishes and pads to get you on your way to perfect paint!
The Rupes LHR 15ES Big Foot Random Orbital Basic Kit is the perfect starter kit for those who are just getting into the Rupes Big Foot Polishing System. The kit includes the Italian-bred Rupes LHR 15ES Big Foot Polisher along with Rupes two most popular polishing compounds – Quarz Gloss and Keramik Gloss – in addition to the necessary Rupes 6 inch foam pads to use with each product. If perfect paint is what you’re after, the Rupes LHR 15 ES Big Foot Random Orbital Basic Kit is the first step in achieving a show-car finish.
The Rupes LHR 15ES Big Foot Random Orbital Polisher gets its name from its impressive 15 millimeter throw. The throw of the machine indicates the size of the orbit the pad makes. Consider this: a conventional random orbital polisher has a throw between 4 and 8 millimeters. The advantage of a larger throw is that more surface area is being covered as you polish. This means you’ll be able to remove swirls, scratches, water spots and other paint defects in considerably less time.
The Rupes LHR 15ES Big Foot Random Orbital Polisher ensures a perfect finish with its random orbital motion and exceptionally large throw. One of the biggest advantages of the LHR 15ES is that no swirls or holograms (also referred to as buffer trails) are instilled into the paint as you polish. A conventional rotary/circular polisher, while very effective at polishing paint to remove defects, leaves swirls and holograms in the finish as a result of its direct drive, circular motion. Simply put, the Rupes LHR 15ES Big Foot Random Orbital Polisher leaves you with a perfect finish that’s free of swirls and holograms – all without the risk of burning through the paint. The Rupes LHR 15ES is so easy to use that even a novice can have the polisher mastered after only one panel!

Green Medium Foam Pad, 6 Inches This pad is the second step in the Rupes Big Foot Polishing System. The Green Medium Foam Pad is very dense in its construction and was designed to be used with Rupes Quarz Gloss Medium Gel Compound to remove swirl marks, water spots and other paint imperfections. This pad is aggressive enough for most applications on factory clear coat systems. Always follow this pad with a less aggressive pad/polish combination to maximize gloss and surface smoothness. |

Yellow Polishing Foam Pad, 6 Inches This pad is the third step in the Rupes Big Foot Polishing System. The Yellow Polishing Foam Pad was designed to be used with Rupes Keramik Gloss Fine Gel Polish to remove light swirl marks, holograms, clay-induced marring, and other light paint imperfections. This pad finishes exceptionally well considering the mechanical polishing ability that it provides. |

I purchased a 6 pack of my preferred pads (3 blue 2 yellow and a white) as this is what is used in most applications.
It is also helpful to buy a tube of dielectric grease to help maintain your machine.
I love my Rupes!!!
The backing plates kinda blows. Six months and I'm replacing one of the two sizes I use. The plates have a hard plastic outter edge which will wack fingers and your clients car. You will need to correct this will thick tape, etc. The Rupes has a rubber skirt which requires lubrication once or twice per car...so you will forget and it will tear off. You will need to shape and fit an additional wash to add spacing or, as I did, trim the rubber skirt down.
To my surprise I am only using the Rupes 50% with my work.
