Common Concerns Answered
Will this product remove deep scratches?
This ultra-fine polish is designed to remove very light imperfections, haze, and holograms. For deeper scratches, a more aggressive compound like RUPES D-A COARSE or D-A FINE would be necessary as a preceding step.
Is this polish safe for all boat surfaces?
Yes, RUPES D-A ULTRA-FINE is formulated to be safe and effective on most marine gelcoat and painted surfaces when used according to RUPES recommended procedures.
How long does it take to see results?
Results are typically visible immediately after buffing off the polish, revealing a significantly enhanced gloss and clarity. The time to complete a section depends on the size of the area and the applicator's speed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of applicator pad is recommended for this polish?
For optimal performance, RUPES recommends using their DA Ultra-Fine Foam Pad or the Microfiber Finishing Pad with this polish.
Can this polish be applied by hand?
While possible, this polish is specifically engineered for use with dual-action (DA) or forced rotation polishers to achieve the best cutting and finishing results. Hand application will not yield the same level of defect removal or gloss.
How much product should I use per section?
A general guideline is to use approximately 2-3 pea-sized drops of polish per 2'x2' section. Adjust as needed based on the applicator pad and surface condition.
What is the working time of this polish?
The working time will vary depending on the applicator, speed, and pressure used. Generally, you should continue working the product until it becomes translucent, indicating the abrasives have broken down.
Does this polish require a follow-up sealant or wax?
While this polish leaves an exceptional finish, applying a marine-grade sealant or wax afterward will provide long-term protection and enhance the durability of the achieved gloss.
