Master cushion for cutting.

This is a unique foam unlike anything else on the market. They are very cool and combine well with the Meguiar M110 for a haircut.

Pros
  • balanced performance, proper thermal management, contouring and versatility
Cons
  • not sure

Durability and quality issues

The pad started to fail halfway to the car. This usage was with minimal compound (2 points per section) and between 2,000 and 3,000 RPM and I started to see blue particles when polishing. However, the areas where it was carved were magnificent. I just wish it would last a long time. Very disappointed in the product!

Pros
  • Balanced performance, proper heat management, shape and versatility
Cons
  • Not the best

This became my choice for the pad

My first concern was texture and stiffness. But when I applied Sonax Cut and Finish to this pad and placed it on a swirly black slab, the finish was flawless most of the time. In some cases, the white Pad Rupes had to be dispensed with in order to achieve perfect gloss and transparency. The blue pad easily removes oxidation and most imperfections. Be sure to spread the product over the entire area at low speed before increasing the speed as it will spread. I don't mind handling a sling as the…

Pros
  • 2 packs of rough 6" pads for a 5" baseplate
Cons
  • Unusable features

Fulfills the job with tools and equipment

I must say that I have been using yellow Rupespads (foam rubber and wool) for a while. While they are a pleasure to work with, they are flexible enough to really make polishing a curved slab an easy task. The blue ones are much harder and make the experience much more difficult. They will tell me these are rough pads so expect them to be stiffer. And you are right! On the other hand, they handle bumps very well...when you're working with dirty paint or hard varnish, they really work wonders…

Pros
  • Each seal is carefully designed, manufactured and packed entirely at RUPES' own facility in Italy to our extremely high quality standards.
Cons
  • The list is getting long.
