Expert Notes

The Rupes LH19E BigFoot Angle Rotary Polisher is made for heavy paint correction. Tape off edges, spread the compound at the lowest speed, then cut in small sections with the pad flat and always moving. 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 pads during and after use and keep the vents free of dust.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted bodywork
  • Clear coats
  • Bonnets and roofs
  • Doors and wings
  • Bumpers
  • Single-stage paint

Caution: A rotary builds heat fast: keep the pad moving and flat, stay off edges and body lines, wear eye protection, and switch it off and disconnect the power before changing pads. Keep it out of reach of children.
