I want it more than I need it
You guys should make a video on how to properly maintain, clean, and grease to extend the life of the Bigfoot systems
It's the best. I got mine in the mail yesterday from my preorder. Best thing I've done for my detailing!
Perfect. I have an ES and a MarkII. I think my next one will be a Mark III 15”. Mine are both 21’s.
What do you think about ES ?
Is the “washer mod” still necessary on the mark 3? Will it free spin if turned off?
Funny I asked on the Facebook post about the 15 vs 21 seminar about the possibility of a video with Dylan and TRC explaining the difference between the II and the III... well, here it is.
We're always listening ;)
I don't need it...
I don't need it...
I don't need it...
I NEED IT!!!!
i bought it, i couldnt resist
I bought a lhr15 mark 3 , after first use the trigger needed relocating under warranty , then it decided to stop working midway through a job , managed to get full refund but wont be buying rupes again overpriced
Still has the same shitty speed control module and trigger switch.
So there is ZERO upgrades as far as raw torque between the II and III?
Correct
I got a mark II 15lhr and couldn’t be happier 🤗🤗
Great overview of the why. I love the new Mark III.
So are they both gear driven is there a difference there?
Sold my mk2's and got mk3's today. I love em. Feels more sophisticated and more torque. Then again mk2 is still a great machine.
Have you used the flex xfe 7-15? I bought one but haven’t used it yet still sealed I’m in 2 minds if I should return it and get this rupes
There isnt more torque
@@cacocorlino3666 there is.
@@jtm1979 the m2 and m3 have the same wattage, amp and opm
@@cacocorlino3666 mk1 is also 500W. Better efficiency in each generation. Also mk3 has different opm's.
Pleaaseeee upgrade the duetto more torque pleaseee and the speed dial on top of machine pleeaaseeee is a great machine just need a little more power.
if you havent already do the washer mod, transformed mine. 9$ from buffdaddy
What’s the washer mod called on there website I can’t find it
Wish we had the set up for Rupes in the UK you guys have in the states.
I noticed that even though the Mark 3 is available, many people are still sticking with or purchasing the Mark 2. I have been using the Griot’s 6 Inch for a while now and I want to upgrade to a Rupes. Do you suggest the Mark 2 or Mark 3? I just don understand why many people still buy the Mark 2
When will the mark 4 be released 2020???
This vs regular electric and pneumatic buffers?
Awesome machine. Someday...
I asked this on the podcast and didn’t get answer. When is TRC going to carry other Rupes products such as pads and compounds?
Is that a rhetorical question?
of course I need it and want it
If I know how to use the old rotary buffers, will using these to correct come naturally?
Absolutely will come naturally, I come from a rotary background and use it along with my Rupes.
Just picked one up. Is the washer mod still a thing?
Will there be a mk3 duetto?
Is there a mk3 duetto?
How can this machine out perform a machine with a 900w or 1000w motor. I trust the machine will deliver the results but I am seriously questioning its longevity because £350 is a lot of money for a 500w motor.
Muito boa essas máquinas rupes essa 3 E silenciosa Boa noite
I’ve got a 2019 4Runner and was wondering which polishers you guys would recommend from the Rupes lineup?
Also do you guys plan on doing any videos specifically regarding single stage paint or is it all pretty much the same process?
The best options for a beginner generally are the LHR15 (pick your generation) and the LK900E Gear Driven for full size tools. It really comes down to preference on which one you would choose. The LHR12E Duetto is also popular as a starter tool, but slightly lower performing due to the 12mm orbit. The best thing to do is attend a training or get in contact with an authorized distributor and try a few options to see which you prefer. Everyone is different.
As far as polishing single stage vs. basecoat-clearcoat - it is the same. Clear coat is paint without pigment so your process is essentially identical, the biggest difference is you can see the residues on a single stage car, but you can't on a clear coat car because... well... clear coat is clear!
Is this something a beginner could profit from since it's upgraded?
Random orbital tools, with some coaching, are a great option for beginners. If it is for your own personal use and you're looking to test the waters the LHR15ES (first generation) is another great option. Same movement, a little less powerful, at a more economical price point. Either way, you'll want to get some coaching on the proper use of a dual action random orbital tool - especially large orbit so you can get off on the right foot.
Yes.
Is this the mark 3- 21? Price?
if you listened to ure customers you no it needs a bigger motor it stalls like crazy even with good technique
I have the BigFoot Mk3 and very pleased with it.
Are there any plans to upgrade the current Mini BigFoot? Thanks
Great question, and one that it asked a lot. We do not comment on products that may or may not be in development simply because of the sensitivity of that information.
RUPES USA: Fair enough thanks 👍
Can you add a side handle like some rotaries have? Is that an option where instead of holding the top you can hold the handle on one side. Thanks
We do not sell a side handle and I'm not aware of any side handles that are compatible. There may be options out there, but none that we have validated. The reason is that keeping the pad flat to the surface is imperative to proper dual-action random orbital technique - placing your hand off to one side will have a tendency to take the tool off axis and impact performance. It really is best to run the tool without a handle.
I want those both! Gimme!
All that video and no demonstration of the back disc removal or replacement.
I got a Chinese made it's a copy of rupees .. cheap and works great
Alx DeWax way to support the company that spent all the time and money creating such a good tool.
Chinese copy is VERTOOL das21e
@@kwiecinskim3 thanks I was wondering
after finally buying a 21es. I was extremely disappointed. the whole stoping on every damn body line is a big killer and makes me wary of buying another rupes product besides ur pads. just my feeling I get better/faster results with cheaper orbital's
That is the risk with buying any auto-detailing equipment. There are no retail stores, where you can see high-end units in a showroom. Instead, you have to take your chances and buy it, unseen, based upon reviews that you find online.
Your have bad technique ;) Improve it. Or install washer upgrade.
@@vedran.z actually was more so the rubber stopper was causing the pad to lock up. trimmed it and it works like a charm now
No
Mark 15 1 is the best mark 2 is a shit i have now mark 3 is the same like mark 1
Wouldn't ever buy another one ever. I have a mobile Auto Detail business. Bought the rupes mark2 and was super sad with performance. The pads don't last more than one polish on a car they get hot start to tear. Too much hype on this polisher. I also have a torque and well now that is a great polisher no issues there
@@theragcompany If somebody still needs "training", even after owning an auto-detail business, then the shortcoming is with the polisher; not the operator. You evaded his concern about pads.
I have a flex 3401 and found out to be an extremely robust tool. Pushed to the very edge and Beyond it is never let me down.
We are also talking about a tool that's made in Germany and has forced rotation.
