Common Concerns Answered
Is this pad too aggressive for minor imperfections?
The RUPES Blue Coarse pad is designed for aggressive defect removal. For lighter imperfections, a less aggressive pad like RUPES' Yellow Fine or White Ultra-Fine pads would be more appropriate to avoid unintended paint removal.
Can I use this pad with my existing dual-action polisher?
This pad is specifically optimized for rotary polishers, such as the RUPES LH19E or LH22N models. It is not designed for use with dual-action (DA) or random orbital polishers, as the correction action is fundamentally different.
Does this pad require specific RUPES compounds?
For optimal performance and to achieve the intended aggressive defect removal, RUPES recommends pairing this pad with their BigFoot Coarse Compound. While other coarse compounds might function, using the RUPES system ensures compatibility and predictable results.
