Full Description

The Rupes BigFoot LHR15 Mark V BAS Kit is the 15mm random orbital polisher boxed with a first set of Rupes pads, compounds and cloths, so one purchase covers cutting, refining and wiping down. Rupes packs eight items in the kit (code LHR15V/BAS): the polisher, a foam pad, a wool pad, two 250ml compounds, two microfibre cloths and a cable clamp.

What is in the BAS Kit

  • BigFoot LHR15 Mark V polisher: the 500W random orbital polisher with a 15mm orbit, a 125mm backing pad, speed control from 3000 to 5200 RPM and a 9m cord. Rupes fits POLYSYNTHEC composite gears, lists 47% less noise than its earlier models and has lowered the centre of gravity by 13mm.
  • D-A Intermediate foam polishing pad, 130/150mm (9.DA150B): Rupes places it between its D-A Fine yellow pad and its D-A Coarse blue pad and calls it the most versatile foam pad in the BigFoot range. With D-A Coarse it removes severe defects, with D-A Fine it removes moderate to fine defects and leaves a high gloss finish.
  • D-A Coarse wool polishing pad, 130mm: the Rupes wool pad for dual action tools, made for removing severe paint defects. Rupes names wool pads among the pads its D-A Coarse compound is optimised for.
  • D-A Coarse polishing compound, 250ml (9.DACOARSE250): the fast cutting compound for moderate to severe defects and sanding marks. Rupes lists a durable lubrication system for a longer working time, a low dusting formula and an easy wipe off.
  • D-A Fine polishing compound, 250ml (9.DAFINE250): a fine polish that combines cutting with finishing. Rupes describes it as the second step after D-A Coarse or as a polish on its own for light defects, with an easy wipe off that leaves fewer towel marks on soft paints.
  • Blue microfibre cloth (9.BF9050) and yellow microfibre cloth (9.BF9060): edgeless, short nap cloths with an embossed BigFoot logo, made for removing compound and polish residues.
  • Cable clamp (9.Z1024): the red Rupes clamp for the power cord.

How the pieces work together

For severe defects Rupes pairs D-A Coarse with the wool pad or the Intermediate foam pad. D-A Fine on the Intermediate foam pad then removes moderate to fine defects and brings up the gloss. The PrecisionPro backing pad on the polisher has a protective rubber edge for work near edges and delicate bodywork, and Rupes covers the polisher with a 5 year warranty when it is registered after purchase.

Expert Notes

The BAS Kit pairs the Rupes BigFoot LHR15 Mark V with a first set of consumables: a D-A Intermediate foam pad, a D-A Coarse wool pad, D-A Coarse and D-A Fine compounds in 250ml bottles, two microfibre cloths and a cable clamp. Rupes describes D-A Coarse as a fast cutting, low dusting compound for moderate to severe defects and D-A Fine as the second step or a polish on its own for light defects. The Intermediate foam pad works with both, which makes it the pad to reach for first. Work a clean, dry panel in small sections, spread at low speed and wipe off with the cloths. Disconnect the power before changing pads and keep the kit out of reach of children. Register the polisher with Rupes for the 5 year warranty.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted bodywork
  • Clear coats
  • Bonnets and roofs
  • Doors and wings
  • Bumpers
  • Gelcoat

Caution: Disconnect the power before changing pads, keep the cable clear of the pad and keep the pad flat and moving. Test each pad and compound on a small area first. Keep the kit out of reach of children.

How To Use

Correcting

  4. Work small sections with slow overlapping passes.
  5. Wipe off with a microfibre cloth and check.

Refining
