Larry visits Rupes in italy to show him the new Bigfoot 21

Bigger motor 30% more power and is better on concave edges and contour edges.

Im so excited for the art of detailing as this post is for the Rupes cry babys that said "the boss is a chinese made crap machine buy the original"

Sadly ignoring that the Boss topped the Rupes hands down. In power and comfort.

They also said that 500w is more balanced and ideal and 900w is overkill and useless :| riiight
I guess I don't know why they increased the power of this one then lol.

I told the Rupes fans that , Rupes will make a new machine and this is nothing but good for our industry.

If the 21 was never topped we would be at a standstill and we would never get innovation and improvement on what already is.

If Rupes never had the porter cable would there be a Rupes?

Very excited this is a special edition polisher made just for larry with his name on it.

It will be at the Rupes booth at sema
(Note they announced the new machine mark II, this machine was made special for Larry it is unknown if this style will be available for purchase)

This polisher is too sexy I don't think I would want to use it, then again I would be forced too how cool it is lol.

*hump*

For what it's worth... this is why I brought in a car with some curves. I wanted to put this new version to the test.

You can see pictures of the production version in action here,

Todd, Alberto and I used the new tools today to do an extreme makeover on the above 1951 Mercury. I was very impressed with the tools after compounding and polishing the paint on this Merc.


We used production units and you can kind of see them here,

Dunno man. I think the video speaks for itself. You think it's some type of response to the Boss? I really doubt it. It's just a company improving their product and listening to their customers.

Mike P, such an expensive paint job: yet such a lacking polish job. Great work! Looking forward to your thoughts and write up on the new Rupes polisher.

Thanks again for everything you do and share for the detailing industry.

Griots fanboy won't stop. It's like Apple and Samsung. You like (fill in the blank) better because (fill in the blank). Just be happy for Rupes. Be happy someone is innovative in the detailing business we all love.

That's exactly what I said ? That this is great for our industry, so I don't get it?

Any new machines, new ideas, is great for our business.

I'm excited to see what flex is going to do next, as everyone is upping there game.

That is why I said I'm excited for detailing.

Just got a new 21 and the trigger is different than my older 21. It's not orange but black with a grey grip. Just an updated 21?

I already have the 15, this time round I think I should get the 21 MK2? Need to see what exactly the changes are and hopefully a back to back comparison with the current and soon to be released model.
