RUPES BigFoot LHR75E Mini Random Orbital Polisher
$100+
See current price on Amazon
The 3-inch BigFoot. A 12 mm orbit on a 75 mm backing plate corrects mirror caps, door handles, spoilers, pillars and the curved bumper sections that a full-size DA cannot touch, with the same soft start, speed control and Italian build as the big machines. Many detailers use it more hours per car than their primary polisher, and it is the RUPES most people can justify buying first.
