It should be here by the 1st of the year (before than). We don't want to make promises we cannot keep (and ANYTHING can go wrong) but the expected release date is around Dec. 15. :xyxthumbs: Our company stance is NOT to switch backing plate sizes and to always remain careful of pad weights. Our...

Your reaction is similar to the several thousand people who used this tool at our booth during SEMA. The positive reaction to this tool and its capability has been overwhelming. We knew we designed something special, but even we were surprised (blow away) at the reaction. Once it was used by...

Just for clarification, that is incorrect. The tool comes with 2 different eccentric offsets that screw into the shaft - 3 mm and 12 mm. Each eccentric offset can then accept a variety of backing plates, or even brushes. Part of the confusion, unfortunately, comes from my original post where I...

Similar but different technology. 30 minute run time, 15-20 minute charge time. Thank you for the compliments on the write up. We are just getting started. LOL. It is honestly my pleasure, on behalf of our company. Agreed, and we are just getting started. The next two years will be...

Yes (if the threads are correct), but I would highly recommend trying it without one first. :xyxthumbs:

Welcome to the team! PE8 is a great tool! If you find his number let me know!!! My son has been asking for a lot of stuff!

Thank you, but of course the mad scientists at RUPES in Milan deserve all of the credit! Nah the 12 is still just as amazing as it always has been! I honestly don't have a clue, but I will see what I can dig up. Complete typo! The pads are 30 mm and 50 mm. Sorry about the confusion. So...

Yes, now we can take a powerful tool where it has never gone before. TY! Pricing and release date have not been set. Think 1st quarter 2016. Goal!!!! It is nice to exceed expectations. The response from the SEMA floor has been outstanding! Agreed Chad. We wanted to build something that...

In addition to the blue coarse and yellow fine pads, the UHS multi purpose foam will fit the Nano. This foam delivers impressive polishing performance in rotary mode (small pad sizes only!). You can see the scratches and swirl marks in the finish due to the reflection of the overhead...

Rupes Bigfoot Nano iBrid Short Neck Kit Rupes Bigfoot Nano iBrid Long Neck Kit SEMA 2015 Las Vegas, NV Almost 4 years ago to the date, RUPES SpA, an Italian tool manufacturer revolutionized the detailing industry with the introduction of BigFoot Polishing System. A combination of incredibly...

Thanks Dylan :) Thank you. It was basecoat/clearcoat and sanded pretty flat. It honestly made me look better than I am but I though it was a perfect demonstration for the Mk.II's power. So you like the new soft-rubber top grips on the Mk.II? Oh, you are talking about the Ferrari ;)...

It's called an LHR 75E Mini ;)

The improvement in gloss was significant; The Ferrari Daytona began to look as good as it should. For the detail work, I decided to go with pneumatic LHR 75 BigFoot. The massive 15mm orbit and 11,000RPM make this not only one of the most powerful tools in the BigFoot line up, but one of...

Some cars simply deserve to be perfect. The legendary Ferrari Daytona checks that box. What better to improve the appearance of the already stunning Italian supercar than to use the latest in Italian technology: The RUPES LHR 21 Mark II BigFoot Random Orbital Polisher. The Ferrari Daytona is...

The online world is not always the best representation of the market. Instead it is a sliver of a slice. RUPES worked with numerous detailers and surveyed many current owners. Our ergonomics were considered a strong point with the overwhelming majority of them. However, like anything, some...

Any orbital polisher is going to be a great choice for a first polisher. The question ultimately becomes how much growth are you going to do (that is, 1 car every once in a while or will you start doing work on the side and making a few dollars). The original Porter Cable is still an amazingly...

You are welcome, but no need to thank us. I get to talk about stuff I'm passionate about and some how this is called a job. :dblthumb2: It really is an impossible question to answer accurately because of the huge amount of variables that could be involved without even considering technique...

Wow, that looks awesome Mike!

If this is what you gather from reading the information presented, than we are obviously doing a poor job of explaining our approach to everybody or there is some inherent bias in this comment. Installing a larger motor would have been easy considering we build plenty of them for other tools...

I worked with Mike when he used the Mk.II tools. I will say that he was quite pleased with the performance of the tools although I will leave exact quotes out of this comment because of his position in working with other manufacturers. All random orbital polishers (large throw tools being more...
