We're proud to offer the full line of RUPES polishers, a testament to our ongoing promise to provide you with equipment that is not only powerful but also a joy to use. When you choose a RUPES machine from Autogeek, you’re not just buying a tool—you're investing in a legacy of Italian engineering and a future of flawless paint.

The Science of Flawless: How RUPES Redefined Paint Correction

Traditional rotary polishers, while effective, require a high degree of skill and come with the risk of paint burn. The RUPES BigFoot system was designed to solve this problem. At its core is the revolutionary random orbital motion with a large orbit diameter. This unique movement combines rotation and oscillation, which:

• Minimizes Heat: The random orbital motion dissipates heat more effectively than a rotary polisher, making the process much safer and virtually eliminating the risk of burning or hologramming the paint.
• Maximizes Efficiency: The large orbit diameter allows you to cover more surface area in less time, drastically reducing your work time without sacrificing quality. This is the secret to the system’s famous speed.
• Ergonomic Design: RUPES polishers are engineered for human hands. Their balanced design and smooth operation minimize vibration and user fatigue, allowing you to work longer and more comfortably.
