I am a polishing technician in Korea with excellent polishing technique. If you use it yourself, the difference in polishing power is not greater than what is shown in the numbers.
If you already have an es model, we recommend sticking with it without spending a lot of money for a new Mark3 purchase.
Exactly what I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful
This series helps newcomers so much, thank you Rupes USA for educating all of us :)
Glad you are enjoying it. We enjoy creating these videos.
Short, sweet, and to the point. Sir, good job! Go Rupes!!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching and commenting,
Perfect video and explanation!! I ordered a LHR15III and it’s easily the best polisher I’ve ever used. Perfect for my work in the detailing business and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks for an amazing product Rupes 😎
Great to hear! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Love it!!!
FINALLY SOMEBODY ANSWERED MY QUESTION🤯🤯THANK YOU!!!!!!!👍🏾
You are welcome!
GREAT VIDEO! ALL THE INFORMATIONS I NEEDED.
Glad you enjoyed!
Hell yea man I can’t wait to join the Rupes Fam and buy my own soon🥶
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Love my LHR ES 21 and LHR 15 Mark II. The 21 is loaded up with microfiber ready to cut like crazy and the 15 is ready to go with yellow wool or yellow foam for final polish. Great pair of machines.
@@michaelwhitfield609 Not at all, the LHR 21ES or LHR 15ES are work horses. My 21 lasted 6 years+ of almost every day use and I recently had Rupes rebuild it. Once again I have a new machine for another 6 years.

Hello. I love the thought of working with quality tools however, there's this critic name scott from dallas paint correction that bad mouth rupes polishers. Mostly about the lack of handling curves on cars and stalling out when you apply pressure. Are rupes polishers really that bad.
@@michaelwhitfield609 LOL,, I wouldn't worry about what Scott says. Rupes and Flex are the best polishers you can buy, period. Watch the real experts, Kevin Brown, Larry Kosilla, Jason Rose, ... Watch RUclips videos from all over the world, you'll see Rupes and Flex much of the time. I had pad stall when I first started using a long throw polisher, but learned why it stalled and how to make adjustments to eliminate it. Another option is the Mille, or Flex XC 3401 they will never stall. If a Rupes or Flex is in your budget, go for it. If not, I would look at the Griot's polishers, they make excellent tools at a fair price.
One more thing, ask the guys from Rupes questions, they've always answered any questions I've had.
@@ShinyFenders so griots is better than the torq family. I value your opinion sir m thank you so much.
@@michaelwhitfield609 I can't speak to the Torq polishers because I've never owned one. Griots and Porter Cable is what I started with. Either one of these 2 are very good polishers, I think Auto Zone carries Griots. Try to get feedback from someone that has a Torq, I'm sure they a good machine.
Great explanation!!
Love my 15 es
That helped me a lot! Thank you
Great. We’re happy it was helpful for you!
Definitely answered the mail. Thank you. Still on the fence. $200 is a huge difference, however, if I want something that’s got all the bells and whistles and will last a while, might as well go with what’s the best time now. 🤷🏽♀️
Regardless of which tool you go with we're confident you'll be happy. The ES series is still manufactured today because it offers great performance for the price.
@@RUPES I ended up going with the mini, 75E and the Nano Ibid. thank you!
Finally an explanation thank you
Glad it helped!
@@RUPES very much it took me awhile to get the explanation...and I think this is the only one in youtube to clear the doubt....it's good for ppl who are planning to buy one...
How much power has the Mille? That’s what I want it. Thank you. And Bc I’ll get it soon, can I use the new pads with the old blue coarse compound or the old yellow one??
Thanks for watching Wilfred. In terms of wattage consumption (remember that wattage input does not equal working output) the Mille is 900watts and that is largely due to the fact that motor has to drive both movements, so the demand is higher. Reiterating, wattage is not directly related to correction potential, however if you are proficient with a gear driven tool and understand how to maximize its potential the Mille is a great option.
Someday i'll buy Mark III
I am over 65 and I am only doing AIO's or level one corrections on sedans and sports cars, not SUVs or PUs. I.e. back issues and tennis elbow per se. My question is which model, the LHR15 MkIII, or Duetto will produce the least amount of vibration? Weight is not an issue, just vibration. I believe I can get the same results with both machines within the confines of my workload. After 8 years I'm finally getting rid of my Porter Cable 7424xp (5" backing plate). I like the handles etc on the Mk III but I like the size of the Duetto. Is there any future where the Duetto will have a similar body to the MkIII? Please advise which machine would be a better fit for me? Thank you.
Thanks for watching. When used as a system (as we intend) all RUPES tools boast the lowest vibration of any orbital polisher on the market, so really any of the tools you listed would be a great choice. The 15 Mark III is going to have more correction potential due to the larger orbit, so all other things being equal the Mark III 15 is probably the better choice as it will give you a wider range of performance. In all honestly you’ll be really happy with either one though.
Would it be possible to offer a big foot version of the ibrid nano? Adjustable throw, back plate size change battery and cord power and rotary capabilities? Definitely possible but is it within reason and cost? Could replace a 3,5 and 6 inch polisher.
That is a great question @dustin and thanks for watching. We don't comment publicly on upcoming products, but certainly, that is within the realm of possibilities. We're always developing new innovative technology behind the scenes. If and when it makes it to market... you'll just have to wait and see.
@@RUPES id be eager to buy one like that!!! Basically like an all in one tool! That would more than likely be a game changer!
Hi. Please tell me something, or all rupes machines comes with warranty when you buying from retailers?
Is there any difference in vibration / noise?
Great info, are they making the ES for the UK market, I was thinking the 15 would be great as the mk3 are a bit high ££ for me.
Its already on sale in the UK.
There are some very good prices for the mk3 if you do your research..... I've just got one with the new DA Pads and new polishes...... you can feel the quality as soon as you hold it
Thanks for watching @Oliver Taylor - the LHR15ES is available in all markets where RUPES does business.
Can your glass polished be used by machine and if so what pad works best? Difficult to find much info on it.
I assume you’re referring to G202 Crystal Glass Polish? That is intended for hand application only using the included applicator foam.
Any plans for a Mark IV? I prefer corded over cordless due to the continuous power. Love my Mark II but that’s out of action at the moment due to a fault.
No plans currently for that, but with our new iBrid HLRs coming out (cordless with option for corded) we think you will be pleasantly surprised in how consistent and continuous the power output is. Sorry to hear about your Mark II, we do have a repair program if you are interested. Visit www.rupesusa.com/repairs for details and to get started.
Understand. Yes, I have seen the new HLRs. Might sound weird, but I much prefer the corded options. I have the nano iBrid and use that in corded too (with the battery grip), although I use it with the standalone battery at times. I'm actually in the UK and have found a UK based repair shop, just need to make time to take the tool down to get it seen to. By the way, the new Rupes Microfibre pads, can they be used with the Mille as I also have a Mille?
How long is the warranty on the Mark III And after the warranty expires do you guys still commit to repairing it is it extra cost how does it work?
Warranty coverage is 12 months from the date of purchase in all areas. After the warranty period the policy and process for repair varies depending on what part of the world you are in. If you need specific info on repair in your country send us a note and our customer service team will assist with the proper info www.rupes.com/contact-us
I got 6" pads for my 5" mark 3 by accident and there is no 6" backing plate for mine. Can i use them even if there a little bigger
We don't recommend it as it will change the balance of the tool, increase vibration and affect the tool and pad combo from running at peak performance.
과거의 전문가들은 es로 최상의 폴리싱을 했고 최근의 전문가들 중에서도 많은 전문가들이 아직도 es를 주력으로 사용하고있다 나는 호기심 때문에 mark3를 구입했지만 그동안 사용한 es도 계속해서 주력으로 잘 사용하고 있다 폴리싱결과결과물에 영향을 주는 요인은 30%파워증가보다 컴파운드와 패드의 선택 그리고 작업자의 테크닉이 훨씬더 중요하다 만약 당신이 새로 루페스를 구입하려고 한다면 마크3 새제품 가격의 반가격에 구입가능한 es를 구입하고 남는돈으로 lhr75 미니를 추가구입할것을 추천한다
Good advice, thank you. 👍
What is the difference between lhr 15 mark 3 and lhr 21 mark 3
Thanks for watching and commenting. The 15 and 21 share a similar platform, but there are several differences between the two.
- Orbit size - the LHR15 has a 15mm orbit, the LHR21 has (as you can probably guess) as 21mm orbit
- Operating speed - the LHR15 operates at a higher OPM than the LHR21, this is how they can have similar cut and finish performance despite the discrepancy in orbit size
- Pad/Backing size - the LHR15 runs a 125mm (5") backing pad and mates to a 150mm (6") pad. The LHR21 runs a 150mm (6") backing pad that mates to a 180mm (7") polishing pad.
The features such as ergonomics, speed dial, progressive trigger, cord length, etc are all the same. Despite the differences the tools perform very similarly. The choice between the two comes down to user preferences and what types of vehicles you do work on. The LHR21 has a distinct advantage in large, flat, open spaces due to the larger pad size and offset. Sof if you polish a lot of larger vehicles, or work on surfaces like boats, RV's etc. the LHR21 is a good choice. The LHR15 tends to be more versatile because of the smaller pad and offset. It can get into more complex shapes and curves than the 21 making it applicable in more areas on more intricately shaped vehicles. Both tools benefit from the addition of a smaller edgewrok tool like the LHR75E to work in very small areas. For more information on the differences of orbit we have an excellent webinar recording that is linked below:

Will there be a deetto mark 3?
Thanks for your comment. Sorry, but we do not comment publicly on product development.
Will you guys ever release a new lhr75e? Call that lhr75 mark II?
Thanks for commenting. We don’t comment on what products may or may not be coming. Sorry.
RUPES understandable. Love your products. Just excited for a new make over my lhr75 is wearing on me. A man can only dream...
@@johnathancooper4663 the mini just dropped in price on obsessed garage and detailed image and we know what happens when a price drops haha
@@ernestobenavides6716 oh yeah... you are right it dropped 20 bucks I see it. Definitely something will be coming out then...
Do you guys have a military discount?
Thank you for your service! We do not sell direct to the consumer, so we do not offer discounts. Sorry.
@@RUPESThanks! no problem I just bought your lhr15 mark 3 kit from autogeek. Anxiously awaiting its arrival.
Good nigth i would like to know how i find the rupes app for mobile ( Name )
Thanks for commenting - the paint correction app can be found here:

@@RUPES thank you soon i will take the polishing course with you i will accompany you from here in brazil
I compared lhr15 std vs lhr15 mark3 …
Which is the best ????
Lhr15std wins …
Less vibration than mark3
No stalling compared with mark3
why rupes are not answering emails that we need a feedback ?
Sorry to hear you are having difficulty reaching us. Are you using the link on our website to send your messages? www.rupes.com/contact-us
Can I get the ones you cut the cords off for a discounted price??
Hi, we do not sell direct, so we are unable to offer any discounts, but please inquire about any pricing/discounts through your authorized RUPES distributor
not much was said about the ES
I have no idea what the metal thing is that I can pull out and put back in? I just bought my first Rupes Mark 3 and I would love to know what it is? I also just bought the 3" bigfoot too, cant wait to get it.
The allen key? That is for the backing plate center bolt should you need to remove/replace it at some point or to tighten it.
RUPES I have watched so many videos online and not one person mentioned it. Thank you. Do you take it out when you are polishing or just leave it in?
Just leave it. The owners manual has info on it.
Just took my new Bigfoot Mark 3 21 out of the box, set it on my work bench and as I was unraveling the cord it feel 4’ off the counter and broke the top handle. I was able to superglue it on but can’t find all of the broken parts. I was able to finish the Vehicle but I am gutted. I just spent $500 and I broke it before I could even use it.
Great polishers! There is so much garbage out there. Nothing compares to the quality and reliability
Mark lhr15 es is the best machine
Thank you.
Why?
Agreed love mine
translate spanish
Hello. The subtitles were delayed, but available now for you to view. Thank you!
5200/5000 is only 4%. How did you come up with 30%? It looks like the price difference is 30% and as a marketer, you are trying to justify that.
You’re comparing OPM’s, which is not the only measure of output. The motor in the Mark III produces 30% more power using the same 500watt input which translates to more torque and polishing performance. We encourage you to visit a distributor and try both generations of tools side by side to experience the difference for yourself.
