Bigfoot LHR15ES MK2 worth the money?

[Ant1]

Going to take the plunge now and want something that's robust, easy to work with and gives great results. Got various cars and paint to work on and need something versatile and comfortable to use.

What do you guys think? Is there much enough gains to be had over the MK1 VS MK2?

Also looking at this sunlight. Needs to be good for use outside and this doesn't break the bank,

Yeah the MK2 is worth the money over the MK1.

I have the MK2.

You'll need something that takes smaller pads to compliment it though, you won't get into small areas with it.

There's a Mk3 coming out early next year, so they may drop in price slightly.

We talking bumpers etc for smaller pads?

Any recommendations for which machine to tackle those areas?

Bumpers, even wings on Clios.

The 6in pad size of the 15ES is a bit cumbersome.

The LHR75 is good if you want to stick with Rupes stuff.

Any decent alternatives?

A cheap DAS6 Pro with a 3in backing plate will be fine.

Thanks matey

Cutting compound I have read that Menzerna is a good all rounder. What do you use if you don’t mind me asking?

Just the Rupes stuff for me mate.

Can't go wrong with the Menzerna stuff, not used it for years though, so I can't remember what is what with their labeling now.
