Rupes Bigfoot

Can change backing plate to smaller size?

5" for LHR15 and 6" for LHR21. Can swap both backing plates with each other but machine counter balance would be off. Rupes engineer purposefully tune the counterweights specifically for the mechans+backing plate+pad to minimize vibe. No other smaller or bigger backing available. Rupes designed LHR75 air powered DA for smaller pads instead.

Oh yes indeed he is. If I have money I would want to attend his advance/elite detailing classes. You should know him guessing from the 22ple coating that you are using. Todd don't mess around with regular stuff... Good for you.

Even more expensive than a Makita Rotary :top:

Expensive yes. Take it as the Lamborghini of DAs... Just easier to drive... Seriously... It is made in Italy. Very nice and good design. Well built. All this comes with a price. Buying a German made Flex VRG3401 forced rotation DA is also not cheap locally.

One good thing about the Rupes is the machine does not need to be tamed like a wild beast and does not sap all your energy once you are done buffing. Buy what you can afford and makes sense/cents to you.

I don't even have a Camry, so better keep my ROB (Kancil)......

Anyone here want to organise a Group Buy?
