No, these gels are specifically formulated for the high-oscillation movement of Rupes BigFoot random orbital polishers.
A 1000ml bottle is typically sufficient for approximately 10 to 15 full-size vehicle corrections depending on the paint condition.
You do not need to wash, but you should wipe the surface thoroughly with a microfiber cloth and potentially an IPA (isopropyl alcohol) wipe to inspect for true correction.
Yes, the Rupes DA compounds are body-shop safe and silicone-free, making them safe for use in professional paint repair environments.
For cutting, speeds 3-4 are recommended; for finishing, speeds 2-3 are usually sufficient to achieve the desired clarity.
Reduce the amount of product applied to the pad or clean the pad more frequently during the session.
Switch to a softer pad or reduce machine speed; ensure the residue is removed with a clean, high-quality microfiber towel.
Work in smaller 2x2 foot sections and ensure the polish is not being applied under direct sunlight or on a hot panel.
To achieve the best results, ensure the vehicle surface is thoroughly decontaminated and clay-barred before starting. Use only clean, dedicated Rupes foam pads for each compound to prevent cross-contamination. When applying, use a 'pea-sized' amount of product distributed across the pad. After use, clean pads immediately with lukewarm water or a dedicated pad cleaner to maintain their structure. Store the bottles in a temperature-controlled environment, avoiding extreme cold or direct sunlight, to preserve the chemical stability of the gels.
