The Original Rupes Bigfoot Polisher!

The Ø15 mm orbit and the RUPES Ø125 mm backing pad make the random orbital polisher particularly suitable for curved surfaces. The 15mm orbit of the LHR 15ES, shorter than that of its big brother the LHR 21ES, is coupled with a higher rpm level than that of the LHR 21ES. This higher speed gives the LHR 15ES equivalent cutting power to the LHR 21ES, in spite of the smaller orbit. Its Ø130/150 mm BigFoot polishing foam pads, perfect balance and vibration-free operation make the LHR 15ES a real gem and a must for the tool kit of every detailer.

RANDOM ORBITAL: the backing plate follows an orbit (the amplitude of which depends on the distance between the rotation axis of the drive shaft and the central axis of the backing plate) and is free to rotate about its own central axis. The backing plate is free to rotate at varying velocities and directions by effect of the centrifugal force of the offset movement and by effect of friction. Should the friction forces be such as to prevent rotation of the disc while the tool is still operating, the random orbital movement would simply become an orbital movement. The number of disc rotations is variable and independent of the number of orbits performed. The random orbital movement is at present the best compromise in terms of effectiveness and surface treatment quality.

ELEGANTLY DESIGNED
The RUPES R&D and Design departments have paid particular attention to the design and ergonomics of the BigFoot polishers. The perfectly balanced machine body, the practical handgrip, the silent operation and minimum vibration are just some of the characteristics that help make BigFoot the market’s most versatile and sought-after system.

ANTISPINNING SHROUD
The dual function antispinning shroud is designed to protect the operator against the moving parts and act as a clutch for the backing pad, preventing further stress on the foam polishing pad when it is not in direct contact with the surface.

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL MODULE
The speed controller on the handle is both practical and easy to use. The speed of the polisher can also be regulated during use, thus avoiding any interruption of the polishing operation.

ON-OFF SWITCH LOCK
Pressing the button on the LEFT-hand side of the handgrip while polishing locks the on-off switch. This allows the operator to move his/her hands freely to different gripping positions while the tool is operating.

DESIGN
The attention to detail is not limited to just the innovative and attractive design. The modern lines and exceptional technical quality are combined with a number of details that are the result of meticulous research aimed at achieving maximum operator comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

The frequency of detailing can depend on the car’s use and storage conditions. Generally, a full detail is recommended every 4-6 months. Regular maintenance washes and a top up of protection can be done more frequently, ideally every 2-4 weeks, to keep the car in pristine condition. The use of Rapid Detailer or Express Sealant make maintaining the finish super easy. 

Infinity is more than just another detailing brand. Founded with the belief that DIY detailers should be able to use professional grade products and get the best results in complete safety. Unlike store bought offerings that are usually 95%> water. We took the harmful chemicals out, changed them with modern & safe alternatives that are in many cases are derived from sugar cane, allowing you to get pro results safely at home while also being great value, concentrated and better for the environment. We operate our own factory in Central Scotland, ensuring quality and supply is controlled to the highest standard. 

Polishing involves using an abrasive compound to remove surface imperfections like swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation, restoring the paint’s smoothness and shine. Protection provides a protective layer over the paint, enhancing the shine and protecting the surface from environmental contaminants like UV rays, rain, and dirt. Products like Rapid Detailer, Express and our other last stage protection products (LSP) like Supergloss+ wax and QDX Ceramic are all good examples.

To prevent water spots, dry the car immediately with a clean microfiber drying towel, and avoid washing the car in direct sunlight. Using a quick detailer spray like Rapid Detailer as you dry can also help. The main thing is not to allow any water to dry on the surface. 

Clean the tyres thoroughly with Incinerate Wheel cleaner and brush, our dedicated tyre cleaning brush works well. After cleaning, apply a tyre dressing or gel to give them a new look. Choose a non-sling formula to avoid residue flinging onto the car’s paint
