Hey Mustang94, Both combinations you listed are fairly mild. While I would never say that anything is 100% safe to use any number of times, for any number of years... assuming your technique is solid and your paint is healthy, you could use either combination a large number of times with...

My pleasure Mike :)

I have an answer. There was a significant production delay in Italy due to the outbreak of SARS-2/COVID19 in Northern Italy. (RUPES is located in Milan, which is the literal epicenter). Some limited production has begun in Italy as of last week. My understanding is that more and more products...

I will try to find out and let you know :)

When RUPES decided to bring the double-great reduction rotary (a RUPES originale in 2001) and a new gear-driven polisher (another RUPES originale in 1997) into the BigFoot line up, we knew we wanted to great a systematic approach. This philosophy started with the RUPES BigFoot Random Orbital...

To answer a few questions and comments... RUPES has made significant investment into polishing compound manufacturing and development. We are seeing newer audiences who are being introduced to detailing who have no idea of product history or development. RUPES was very lucky to have Jason Rose...

Just an FYI... The LHR75 is every person on the RUPES' USA teams' favorite BigFoot Polisher. It is quite easily the most powerful polisher in the BigFoot line up, and given the class leading torque of the BigFoot series, I dare say it is the most powerful random orbital available, maybe. It is...

It looks like you got good results? The RUPES BigFoot Polishing System is designed to correct paint WITHOUT too much heat production. Heat is a product of friction and energy transfer, but when it comes to polishing paint, it doesn't offer much benefit. I don't think polishing in the sun is...

Sorry to hear this! RUPES warranties all of their professional products for 1 year from the date of sale. Warranty is carried out in the same factory in the USA that a number of RUPES tools are birthed from and shipping is covered both ways.

I'll keep trying.

I hope those who value facts, physics, and engineering will find something useful on my response. :buffing:

Hey Trevine, first thank you for being a customer and second, thank you for your open and honest feedback. I will do my best to address some of your concerns and I hope you find the information useful. “However, I recently replaced the old style backing plate with the new blue one and wished...

The LH19's are rolling into the distributors as we speak and another huge amount is on a boat crossing the ocean right now.

There is some changes such as remapping of the ECU, but the biggest difference is going to be in the trigger/cord/ergonomics. When the ES tool first came out, the amount of torque was carefully chosen because RUPES created and innovated a new market. The number of technicians using a...

I totally understand your frustration! There are so many RUPES fans (and general consumers) who really want the rotary polisher and have been waiting patiently for the rotary, and understandably their frustration is wearing quite thin. One of the reasons why RUPES has so many fans and people...
