Description
RUPES BigFoot LHR 15 Mark III is in my opinion one of the best and most highly regarded polishers in the automotive detailing industry. It is known for its high performance and ability to produce a flawless finish. It is a professional-grade tool that is popular among both car enthusiasts and professional detailers. It features a long throw orbit and a powerful 900 watt motor, making it capable of covering a large area quickly and efficiently. Overall, it is a top-quality polisher that is worth considering if you are in the market for a new tool for your detailing needs.

Jason’s Thoughts and Recommendations
One of the smoothest machines on the market, hands down. I prefer the LHR 15 over the LHR 21 for a couple of reasons.
1. The 5-inch backing plate - The larger your backing plate and polishing pad the harder it is to get into small areas. With cars getting more intricate with their body lines I find the LHR15 a little bit more manageable in these areas.
2. Stick to one size - If you have a shop, keeping things simple is important. I do not see a need to get a 5-inch and a 6-inch machine. This means you will have to keep a variety of both size polishing and cutting pads in stock.
Rupes has spent a lot of time and research to find out what pads and abrasive liquid work with their system. I recommend using their pads and liquid abrasives.
