What’s New?
This new update from the Mark II to the Mark III units brings in some slight tweaks. Below is some information directly from Rupes to help explain exactly what was done in this update.
- The highly efficient motor of the MarkIII BigFoot Random Orbital Polisher produces a speed range of 3000 to 4500 for the 21mm models and 3000 to 5200 for the 15mm models.
The specially engineered and custom wound motor, created in-house by RUPES, generates high levels of torque while requiring just 500 watts of input. This results in RUPES offering the most efficient motor in random orbital polishing today. - With its 21mm orbit and its Ø150mm backing pad, the LHR 21 MarkIII random orbital polisher is the perfect tool for working large surface areas. The LHR 21 MarkIII allows the operator to achieve ultra-high quality finishes, even with limited passes. Improved efficiency guarantees more power and torque on every surface.
- Built to handle any detailing situation, the new LHR 15 MarkIII is the new frontier of detailing. The ergonomic design allows for precise paint correction with complete comfort, in curved surfaces and difficult to reach areas. The LHR 15 MarkIII operates at a higher rpm compared to the LHR21 MarkIII. This increased speed provides equivalent correction and does so with a pad diameter and orbit that are more conducive to curved or varied surfaces.
- Other new features include, updated rear handle with rubberized details, larger, improved, speed control dial, progressive trigger, dual rubber supports, redesigned front handle with rubberized top and bottom-up grip, and a standard 9 meter cord.

I was very impressed with the Rupes wool pads. I expected marring similar to microfiber pads but there was actually less marring and using Menz 400 I was able to get a LSP ready finish in less than normal time. I am still experimenting on different paints and with different compounds so your results may vary depending on the paint system you are correcting.
Rupes said that their wool pads actually remove less paint than a microfiber pad. This is surprising to me and great news for those of us trying to save as much clear coat as possible.
