Bigfoot LHR15 Mark V Rupes (BAS Kit)
The latest corded version of the famous RUPES Bigfoot, the LHR15 here in mark V version and in a Base kit.
from €100 of purchase.
RUPES LHR15 Mark V for optimal performance!
BAS kit with the Bigfoot LHR15 mark V polisher and various accessories listed below.
RUPES never stops improving its famous Bigfoot to always deliver an exceptional user experience. This is how the latest version, the Bigfoot LHR15 mark V, was born. The Bigfoot system, developed many years ago, makes it possible to considerably reduce polishing time while ensuring an impeccable hologram-free finish.
The improvements over the mark III are numerous. The foundation was already solid with the mark III, but RUPES completely reviewed and revised the design to noticeably improve its machine's performance.
The backing plate: already thinner, ensuring better stability and above all fitted with a peripheral rubber collar to avoid any disastrous collision with a body panel.
One of the major new features concerns the interior of the machine: a new gear system significantly reduces vibrations and prevents heat build-up. Efficiency is now better than ever. Even extended polishing sessions will not be a challenge for this superb machine, the Bigfoot LHR15 mark V.
Furthermore, this system brings a reduction in machine noise, for improved comfort of use.
Another new feature concerns the now one-piece cover, no longer made up of several parts. This eliminates unwanted flex movements while ensuring perfect control of the machine (improved stability).
The machine's ventilation has also been reworked internally to prevent heat build-up that could affect its durability. The detailer can thus polish for long hours without experiencing the unpleasant sensation of an overheating machine.
For the rest, there's no changing an excellent base recipe. A 15mm orbit perfect for all types of surfaces with an excellent correction/finishing ratio. Balanced profile, excellent grip, very accessible speed dial, lockable and progressive trigger...
A professional machine accessible to everyone, for a perfect polishing experience.
Offered here in a "BAS" kit, meaning the machine with a few accessories and pads/polishes. Also available in other kit configurations (LUX/machine only)
Rupes has become the reference when it comes to orbital polishers and polishing pads. Rupes pads are developed to be compatible with the polishes from the same brand.
How to use the RUPES Bigfoot LHR15 Mark V polisher?
- Pad/Polish Selection: Choose the pad/polish combination suited to the task at hand (blue foam or wool pad).
- Placement: Center your pad onto the backing plate.
- Polish: Spread your polish in an outer circle on the pad
- Working: Work your polish on one area at a time, applying moderate pressure to the pad, and start at speed 3-4 to quickly spread the polish over the work area. Then increase to speed 5 or even maximum speed 6 to work your polish slowly in cross-hatch passes.
- Wiping: Wipe off polishing residues once the remaining film turns translucent. To do so, use the matching colored microfiber towel included in the kit.
- Inspection: Always remember to wipe down again with an isopropyl alcohol solution to inspect your work (e.g., Rupes Reveal Lite)
Tip: For best results, consider using the dedicated pad cleaning brush included in the kit (Claw pad tool). Regularly change your microfiber or foam pad as soon as it becomes overly saturated.
