help Rupes BigFoot Polishing System FAQ
Why do detailers use the Rupes BigFoot system for paint correction?
Rupes BigFoot polishers are known for long-throw dual-action movement that can correct paint while reducing the risk of holograms compared with rotary-only work. Models like the LHR15 and LHR21 are common in professional detailing shops.
What is the difference between the Rupes LHR15 and LHR21?
The LHR15 uses a smaller orbit than the LHR21, so it is usually easier to control on curved panels. The LHR21 covers more area per pass, which makes it popular for large, flatter panels like hoods and doors.
Do Rupes pads and compounds need to be used together?
Rupes designs the BigFoot system around matching machines, pads, and compounds, so the combinations are meant to be predictable. Detailers still mix brands, but using Rupes foam pads and compounds can simplify the first setup.
Can a beginner use a Rupes BigFoot on clear coat?
A dual-action Rupes is more beginner-friendly than a traditional rotary polisher, but it can still remove real clear coat. A paint-depth gauge, test spot, and mild polish are sensible before using aggressive compounds.
