Description

The RUPES DA INTERMEDIATE Foam Pad joins the RUPES DA Series foam pad range, positioning in between D-A FINE yellow pad and DA COARSE blue pad. It is the most versatile foam pad in the BigFoot range and can be used with several RUPES compounds, such as D-A COARSE and D-A FINE as well as UNO ADVANCED and UNO PROTECT.

It has the polishing power to remove severe defects from a wide variety of painted and solid surfaces when paired with RUPES D-A COARSE blue compound.

When used with RUPES D-A FINE yellow polishing compound, it removes moderate-to-fine defects and creates a high-gloss finish.

The highly engineered foam formula really shines when paired with UNO PROTECT or UNO ADVANCED for final polishing and creating a durable layer of protection.
What Products To Use?
The Rupes polishing and compounding pads work great with the Rupes brand polishes and compounds and we suggest the use of them with their pad line-up. The Rupes pads are colored coded to their corresponding polish or compound. The Rupes Blue Coarse Foam Pad is to be used with the Rupes DA Coarse Gel which has a blue cap.

Rupes has perfected each of their products to work exceptionally well with each pad, so that the operator will achieve showroom quality results. Needless to say, you can still use Detail King's exclusive polish line-up with these pads, if you so desire!

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I clean and care for my pads?

Pads should be cleaned during use after polishing each section with either a pad cleaning brush or an air compressor to blow our compound/polish prior to applying more product to the pad. At the end of the job, pads should be cleaned with a pad cleaning solution such as our Clean All, and can be cleaned with a machine like our Lake Country Pad Washer 4000 System or manually with a stiff nylon brush. Scrub with brush of pad washer and cleaning chemical, rinse and wring out all compound/polish/protectant residue, and then let air dry for longest pad life.
How many vehicles should I get out of a pad and how do I know when it is time to replace the pad?

The amount of vehicles that you will get out of a pad will be determined by how aggressive you are getting with the pad. Compounding pads will wear down the quickest since you are doing the most aggressive work with these pads. Running on higher speeds will also add to aggressiveness which will shorten pad life as well. You want to use multiple pads on a vehicle for best correction results but if you were to use 1 single Compounding pad to do an entire vehicle, you would probably get 10-15 vehicles on average before needing to replace the pad. If you were to use 1 single Polishing pad (again multiple pads per vehicle is best) to do an entire vehicle, you would probably get 20-25 vehicles on average before needing to replace the pad. With a wax/sealant pad, you can do the entire vehicle with one pad and you aren’t doing any correction whatsoever so pads will last much longer to where you should get upwards of 60-80 vehicles prior to needing to replace a wax/sealant pad.
What is the difference between Foam, Wool and Microfiber pads?

Foam pads can be used on just about any buffer/polisher and come in varying levels of aggressiveness for compounding, polishing or for applying protection depending. Wool pads can also be used on most buffers/polishers and are typically a little more aggressive. They come in various levels of compounding or polishing options but you won’t use a wool pad for applying protections. Microfiber pads can be the most aggressive form of pad when paired with the proper polisher. Microfiber comes in various levels of compounding and polishing but aren’t used for applying protection (similar to a wool pad). Microfiber pads are designed for use on random orbital polishers (short throw or long throw) and are not recommended to be used on gear driven or rotary polishers.
