Designed specifically for professional detailers and enthusiasts using the RUPES iBird Nano system, these fine polishing foam pads are engineered to deliver a superior high-gloss finish. 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.

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.
No, these are fine-grade pads designed for finishing and light refinement. For heavy scratches, you should use a coarser pad and compound first.
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.
The pads are a 50/70 mm diameter, which fits the standard small backing plates associated with the iBird Nano system.
Longevity depends on usage, pressure, and maintenance. With proper cleaning and storage, these pads can be reused through many polishing cycles.
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.
Check that the pad is centered exactly on the backing plate and inspect the foam for any uneven saturation or hardened product buildup.
The pad may be saturated with polish; swap to a fresh pad and ensure your polishing compound is compatible with fine-grade foam.
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.
