FAQs

Can I use this pad for compound stages?

No, this is an ultra-fine pad intended for final finishing and gloss enhancement only.

What size backing plate should I use?

This pad is designed for use with a 130mm (5-inch) backing plate.

How do I know when the pad is worn out?

If you notice the foam crumbling, losing its shape, or if the foam structure begins to tear, it is time to replace the pad.

Is this pad machine washable?

Hand washing with a dedicated cleaner is recommended to prolong the life of the foam.

Will this pad work on a rotary polisher?

While optimized for dual action systems, it can be used on rotary polishers; however, exercise caution to avoid overheating the paint.

Troubleshooting

Pad starts to wobble during operation

Stop the machine and ensure the pad is perfectly centered on the backing plate.

Excessive heat buildup on the paint surface

Reduce downward pressure and check if the pad is saturated with too much product.

Pad surface becomes clogged with compound residue

Use a pad brush or compressed air to clean the surface of the foam mid-process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers a superior high-gloss, showroom finish
  • Excellent for final paint refinement and haze removal
  • Perfectly balanced for use with RUPES Dual Action polishers
  • Durable foam structure resists premature tearing

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy swirl or deep scratch correction
  • Requires proper surface decontamination prior to use
  • Must be kept clean to maintain consistent polishing performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, ensure your dual action polisher is equipped with a 130mm (5-inch) backing plate to match the pad's interface. Center the pad carefully on the plate to prevent vibration. For care, rinse the pad thoroughly with warm water and a dedicated foam pad cleaner immediately after use to remove residue. Allow the pad to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing. Do not use high-heat dryers or harsh chemicals, as these can compromise the integrity of the open-cell foam.
