Which Rupes polisher should you choose?
It depends on two things: how large a surface you're working on, and how much control you want over the heat in the paint.
LHR21 Mark V — workhorse for large surfaces
21 mm orbit makes it fast on panels. It weighs more than the LHR15, but delivers the most defect removal per minute. Our first choice for entire cars.
LHR15 Mark V — control and finish
15 mm orbit. Less aggressive, more control around edges, finish polishing, and paints where you don't want to risk burning through. Many detailers own both an LHR21 and an LHR15 — they complement each other.
iBrid Mini HLR75 — where the 15 doesn't reach
Between mirrors, around badges, A-pillars, edges. Compact and battery-powered. Not a primary machine — a supplementary one.
Duetto LHR12E
12 mm orbit. A good compromise if you only want one machine. Less aggressive than LHR21, more than LHR15.
Skorpio III
Strictly speaking, this falls under sanding, not polishing. Pneumatic sander for paint preparation — buy it if you level paint before polishing.
STD, BAS or LUX kit?
We typically recommend the BAS kit for first-time buyers — you get the machine, pads, and polishes selected by Rupes themselves. STD is just the machine, sensible if you already have pads and polish. LUX is the full package for those who want everything at once.
Service and spare parts
Rupes still supplies spare parts for machines over 10 years old. We stock them as needed - contact us if you have an older LHR15ES or LHR21ES that needs servicing.
