The Revolutionary RUPES BigFoot Random Orbital Polishing System

BigFoot simplifies the polishing process, substantially reducing time and producing optimum results even with just one step.


Obtaining a perfectly polished surface in the least amount of time possible was the primary aim of the RUPES BigFoot project. Compared to traditional polishing methods generally require an experienced technician and careful handling, and are very time consuming due to the various steps of sanding, polishing and treating post-polish holograms, the BigFoot® simplifies the working process by combining all three actions into just a single step.

RUPES spent years fine-tuning this revolutionary system. Its unique design and ease of use guarantees faster polishing time than any other system available (with a time saving of up to 40%), and allows you to achieve a flawless hologram-free finish, without sacrificing finish quality.

Revolutionary.
Efficient.
Easy to Use.
Perfect Results.

The RUPES BigFoot Random Orbital Polishing System is a game changer, with an increasing number of professional detailers using the RUPES BigFoot Random Orbital Polisher for their heavy compounding work, right up to the final polishing stages.

Why? Because RUPES has managed to accomplish the unthinkable: an easy to use dual action machine polishing system capable of correcting most paintwork imperfections on most types of paint in significantly less time than a rotary polisher! Compared to the traditional polishing system, which is divided in many phases (polishing and removing holograms), BigFoot® makes the working process easier with a significant reduction of time and complexity, turning out with excellent results also at the very first step. This system, composed of the innovative and extremely handy BigFoot random orbital polisher combined with RUPES polishing foams and compounds, is going to make a revolutionary change in the car body shop field.

Features, Benefits & Why It's So Great!

energy reduction 40% Energy Reduction
The new random orbital sanders from RUPES are 40% more energy efficient compared with traditional polishers.
 
faster-machining Faster Machining Operations - Up to 40% Time Saving
The new BigFoot polisher is an amazing tool that enable you to obtain excellent results in no time. LESS steps, LESS time, LESS compound consumption and GREATER profits.
superior finish Superior Finish
The goal of operators has always been achieving gloss and colour depth. In designing its polishers RUPES has taken these requirements into account to allow operators to achieve extraordinary results.
no-surface-overheating No Surface Overheating
The random orbital movement of the BigFoot system keeps the work surface at low temperature, virtually eliminating the risk of ‘burning’ the clear coat.
polishing revolution The Polishing Revolution - No Holograms  
Holograms are the marks produced by traditional polishers.  The innovative BigFoot random orbital polishing system is a revolutionary method for reducing traditional polishing times without creating holograms on any part of the painted surface.

The process is completely new and allows excellent results to be obtained in just one step, creating substantial savings in time, energy consumption and cost of consumable products. The BigFoot system is based on a large diameter random orbital movement. The long throw eliminates holograms and takes away the necessity for a second removal step, an operation that is generally necessary when traditional rotary polishing systems are used.
 
easy to use Easy To Use       
Polishing has always been considered an operation that requires experience and skill. Inexperience may result in surfaces being damaged. RUPES has eliminated these risks. The BigFoot system is the perfect solution for the novice user or the professional in search of a flawless finish.

BigFoot’s unique design result in a tool that is light, has exceptional balance, and lack of vibration, which afford the operator complete control and maximize the manoeuvrability of the tool during the polishing operation. Normally difficult areas such as edges, contours and corners are easily handled with the operator employing a consistent and harmonious motion. With BigFoot, polishing becomes easy, comfortable and produces excellent results with less fatigue.
