My Rupes Bigfoot

Legacy

///Member
I would just like to give a big THANK YOU to Mr Chop for organizing me a Rupes Bigfoot LHR 21ES polisher at one heck of a good price. You couldn't have gotten one at a better price even if you lived in Italy (where they are made) :biglol:

So for those of you that don't know what the machine looks like I thought I would post some pictures of the machine as well as the standard things included.

The box the machine comes in, the best looking box I have seen the whole week :rollsmile::

The polishes (well they call it gel) and pads:

The machine :inlove:

"Carbon" Fibre looking awesome.

The massive throw of the machine, a total of 21mm.

I got two types of pads with the kit, they are massive (larger than 6.5") so they will probably struggle to polish tight and concave areas such as wheel arches or bumpers.

The very coarse and firmer compounding pad:

The softer and more dense what seems to be light cutting/heavy polishing pad:

I will be testing out over the weekend so stay tuned for a another write up.
