The Rupes Big Foot Random Orbital Polisher creates a flawless finish with an industry leading 15 millimeter throw. The advantage of using this product is the ability to create a finish that is free of swirls or holograms. A typical rotary polisher can remove paint defects very quickly, but can also create swirls and holograms into the paintwork due to the machine's power. The Rupes Big Foot Random Orbital Polisher leaves a flawless finish when polishing on single stage and clear coat surfaces. The Rupes is perfect for the novice and professional detailer looking for a high performance, easy to use polishing machine. The Rupes Big Foot Random Orbital Polisher utilizes a unique 15 millimeter throw. The innovative larger throw makes the Rupes ideal for polishing large surfaces with a 6 inch pad. Chemical Guys Microfiber Polishing Pads give this machine the ability to remove heavy paint defects while also polishing to a flawless finish. The dual-action orbital technology evenly and safely polishes the surface for a perfect shine. The Rupes Big Foot Polisher makes paint correction easier than even imagined without the risk of burning through the paintwork.

A lot of money to invest, but this is a machine that delivers. You can understand why so many professionals use Rupes products. I love it. It is easy to handle, has a smooth start up and is easy to use. I was apprehensive when ordering, but even as a weekend warrior , I can tell the difference compared to cheaper alternatives. It is a top level machine.

As a professional detailer I finally upgraded from my Griots garage G9 random orbital polisher. The Rupes is on another level. Very smooth! Grab a few extra pads to play with and practice. Definitely recommend! Happy detailing.

I’ve been looking for a DA polisher that isn’t so hard on my body to operate. The Bigfoot truly has met that! It’s variable speed settings are great and it was built with very high quality. Unlike some other buffers, it’s not deafeningly loud either.

I have been a professional detailer over many years and I personally never found D/A polishers to be worth my time; instead I've been using a rotary machine. I do have a Porter Cable 8mm throw D/A polisher that I got on sale some time ago, but it seems to do a whole lot of nothing - hence I've not used it much.I'm getting a bit 'longer in the tooth' these days and the rotary can be taxing to use exclusively over hours and hours, so I decided to give the Rupes D/A a try.Having used this machine on several vehicles, I am absolutely impressed with how effective it is at removing significant paint defects without the worry of over-working the paint. If you properly pair your pads and correction chemicals, there is almost no need to use a rotary anymore.The gen III version of this tool claims to transfer 25% more power to the pad, but quite frankly, the nearly $200.00 extra isn't worth it in my opinion - this baby will do the job perfectly and affordably. I know I'll be investing in a 21mm and a mini polisher long before I upgrade to the gen III.The D/A takes a bit of getting used to as far as balance and controlling goes, but if you start slowly and keep your eyes and mind on what you're doing, you'll be fine. Once you master using this D/A, you'll have a professional-level tool to deliver your customers top-level paint corrections.This machine has a super-long power cord - very helpful on the job.This machine has a brief soft-start trigger, which most will find useful. I suggest dialing in low speed for every start-up and ramp-up once your material is spread out on the panel.My only gripe is the included backing plate has a super aggressive loop material, which makes removing pads a bit of a hassle. Make sure to remove your pads periodically or they will almost bond to the loop material and you will rip them - trust me on this.This machine in my opinion is a game-changer.

Significant upgrade from my PC 7424XP. Not only is there more power and a larger throw to make quick work of detailing, the ergonomics are better. The trigger/grip is more comfortable to hold. The palm rest / grip above the head (working end) is just right. Speed adjustment is easy. Locking the trigger on is easy. The speed ramp-up on start-up is great. To top things off it vibrates less and makes it easier to keep going. After buffing my car with the Porter Cable my hands were still tingly and felt like they were vibrating for several hours afterward. I compounded, polished, and waxed the car, one after the other, and felt no fatigue with the Rupes polisher.It's a pretty big price jump from PC to Rupes, but if you detail more than one car once a year you'll appreciate the comfort and speed bonuses very quickly.

Quality as expected.Only have used once so far lol so take this as initial impression. First I have tons of buffers and polishers, rotaries: dewalt 724xp, big dynabrade with tilt head, a dynabrade pneumatic mini, my absolute favorite *rotary* is the flex pe14. I mostly use the rotaries for my boat projects but had a single stage white tundra that needed a rotary. This is my second DA to upgrade my porter cable....my latest truck is actually clear coated. Used previously in dusty landscaping and construction the 1st year, it had substantial swirling along with other defects that needed correcting. I could have done it with the PC and a combination of pads (maybe Microfiber) and or products but my flex has taught me buying a quality polisher produces superior results easier, is more comfortable and saves tons of time. A harbor freight rotary works fine for boats especially the first grunt work but they lack some things that make the dewalt convienent, ...it's just not my preference after the initial heavy cut and buff, the flex is tons more comfortable and lighter for the yearly or twice a year maintenance.This rupes is a very comfortable to use polisher, I've read the 21mm swing Bigfoot can be uncomfortable and I didn't think I really needed that much of a swing for this project and my wifes van I've neglected. This is a very comfortable polisher to use for long periods.Anyways, no doubt this saved a good bit of time over the PC (though I still apply synthetic wax with the pc and use it with a 3" pad for some small areas with an adaptor) and lots more comfortable to hear (though I always wear hearing protection) and use. it got rid of 99.9% of the swirls and defects with what I had on hand (lake country pads, Megs 205 is what I decided to start with then spot correct tougher areas with others).My only minor complain though is the trigger lock takes a bit of getting used to. They *do* recommend you use their pads but since I have a ton of 5.5 pads from various mfrs I just used those. I'm sure the rupes pads are better with the angle but it's not absolutely necessary you can use what you have.I seriously considered the Adams swirl killers they are a great price right now and surely all I needed, in the end for the price difference though, I'd rather have an Italian made tool than a china one. I'm not sure what my buy in price would be for the long throw chinese one...in the end though the difference here to me just wasn't worth the thought and generally try to avoid china stuff when I can.Unfortunately overcast day so couldn't get real money shots.
