Product Information

Full details

The 50/70 mm pads provide the necessary precision for intricate body lines and tight spaces, making them an essential tool for paint correction; however, users should note these pads are optimized for finishing steps rather than heavy compounding and require specific backing plate compatibility.

FAQs

Are these pads compatible with other orbital polishers?

These pads are specifically engineered for the RUPES iBird Nano system. While they may physically attach to other small backing plates, performance is optimized for the RUPES hardware.

Can I use these pads for heavy scratch removal?

No, these are fine-grade pads designed for finishing and light refinement. For heavy scratches, you should use a coarser pad and compound first.

How should I clean these foam pads?

Use a soft pad-cleaning brush while the tool is running at a low speed to remove loose residue, or wash with warm water and a mild detergent.

Does the set come with different sizes?

The pads are a 50/70 mm diameter, which fits the standard small backing plates associated with the iBird Nano system.

How long do these pads typically last?

Longevity depends on usage, pressure, and maintenance. With proper cleaning and storage, these pads can be reused through many polishing cycles.

Troubleshooting

Pad separating from the backing plate during use

Ensure the backing plate is free of debris and that the pad is centered correctly; stop the machine and press the pad firmly onto the velcro backing.

Excessive vibration during polishing

Check that the pad is centered exactly on the backing plate and inspect the foam for any uneven saturation or hardened product buildup.

Hazing on the paint surface

The pad may be saturated with polish; swap to a fresh pad and ensure your polishing compound is compatible with fine-grade foam.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically calibrated for RUPES iBird Nano performance
  • Excellent for achieving final high-gloss stages
  • Durable foam structure resists premature tearing
  • Ideal size for spot correction and detailed areas

Cons

  • Not suitable for aggressive paint defect removal
  • Requires specific RUPES iBird Nano backing plates
  • Limited to small-scale precision work

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure that your iBird Nano is fitted with the corresponding backing plate that matches the 50/70 mm footprint of these pads. Center the foam pad carefully on the backing plate hook-and-loop system to avoid vibration during operation. For maintenance, clean the pads after each use using a dedicated pad cleaning brush or warm water with a mild, residue-free cleaner. Allow the pads to air-dry completely before storing them in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the foam structure.
