Full Description

The BigFoot Mini iBrid HLR75 Polisher represents the future in the evolution of RUPES tools with iBrid Technology. The 12mm orbit and the 75mm backing plate make it the best solution for difficult shapes and for spot repair operations; a must for any detailer wishing to obtain perfect results, even in the most difficult areas.

The new iBrid Technology concept, already featured on the BigFoot iBrid Nano Polishers and the Q-MAG iBrid Nano Sander, increases process efficiency and optimizes the user experience, providing more versatility for the operator, thanks to the functionality as both battery powered and cord powered tool. The HLR75 also features optimized ergonomics, which make it comfortable and easy to use, while the innovative design provides incredible manoeuvrability and balance to guarantee precise and efficient polishing results.

iBRID TECHNOLOGY

The innovative iBrid Technology, already featured on the iBrid Nano polisher and the Q-MAG iBrid Nano sander, allows the RUPES iBrid tools to be configured to run on either battery or corded power, providing the user with even more versatility during any operation.

DESIGN AND ERGONOMICS

Modern lines and exceptional technical quality combined with a number of details that are the result of in-depth studies and research aimed at achieving maximum operator comfort.

MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY

Thanks to the backing pad with small diameter, the HLR75 is perfect in polishing applications on small and intricate areas. The small tool body dimensions and the 12mm orbit allow a comfortable handling and accuracy in detail polishing.

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL MODULE

The speed controller is both practical and easy to use. It allows adjusting the speed of the polisher without interrupting the work and provides high visibility of the selected setting, even during operation.

THROTTLE LEVER

Ergonomic and rubberized variable speed lever for a more precise tool control and full operator comfort.

Expert Notes

The Rupes HLR75 BigFoot iBrid Mini Polisher is made for correcting tight and awkward areas. Polish tight areas on a clean, dry panel: spread the polish at low speed, then work in short, slow passes, checking the heat as you go. Disconnect the power before changing pads and keep it out of reach of children. The Drivers HQ stocks a wider range of Rupes car care products. Clean the small pads often, since they clog faster than large ones.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Bumpers
  • Door pillars
  • Mirror housings
  • Spoilers
  • Around badges
  • Headlights

Caution: Small pads build heat quickly, so keep them flat and moving, check the panel temperature often, and switch it off and disconnect the power before changing pads. Keep it out of reach of children.

Correcting Tight And Awkward Areas

How To Use

Polishing

  1. Wash, decontaminate and dry the car first.
  2. Fit a clean small pad centred on the backing plate.
  3. Prime the pad with a little polish and spread it at low speed.
  4. Work the tight area with slow, short passes, then wipe off and check.

Afterwards

  1. Switch it off and disconnect the power.
  2. Remove and clean the pad.
  3. Blow dust from the vents.
  4. Store it dry, in its case if it has one.

Top Tip: Checking the panel with the back of your hand between passes stops a small pad overheating an edge.
