If you’re into cleaning cars and I mean, REALLY cleaning cars then you probably know what this is – if not then let me tell you. It’s a Random Orbital Polishing Machine called the BigFoot RUPES LHR 15ES. The machine is designed to make a truly random orbit, but manages to stay perfectly balanced, so much so that you can polish one-handed and keep total control at all times.<\/p>\n

\"Fast<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a one-step, zero hologram polisher that achieves amazing results in super quick time with minimal fuss. The kit comes complete in a cool hold-all with four grades of compound and four colour-coded foam pads (plus an awesome apron). Start with a medium compound and pad, and if it’s not aggressive enough, then try the next one.<\/p>\n

\"Fast<\/a><\/p>\n

We tried the most aggressive compound supplied with the kit and managed showroom results in literally seconds – with no risk of damage to the paint. And that’s what sets the BigFoot apart. A lot of orbital polishers if misused, will remove paint – (that’s why you see pro-detailers mask a car’s edges with blue detailing tape), but there’s no need with the BigFoot, making it perfect for amateurs and pros alike.,<\/p>\n

It’s so quick too – with a 15mm orbit (compared to 8mm on most polishes) you can cover a panel in minutes. The best part is that no annoying holograms or swirls are created. The when you’ve finished polishing simply wax – and you’re done.<\/p>\n
