RUPES Velcro polishing Pads - set of 5 (80/100 mm)

RUPES expanded resin foam polishing pads are specially designed for the random orbital polishing system. They produce excellent results with substantial time saving and reduced compound consumption. BigFoot’s random orbital movement creates high mechanical stresses on the foam polishing pads, generating an increase in internal temperature. The innovative “open cell” structure of the BigFoot foam polishing pads prevents the build-up of heat generated during the polishing process. In addition, this particular structure guarantees maximum efficiency in the polishing process with minimum downward vertical pressure from the operator. The center hole creates superior ventilation and heat dispersion through special channels in the backing pad. The innovative design of the truncated cone shape optimizes the performance of the large diameter orbit, and at the same time protects against accidental contact between the backing pad and the work surface. 

FINE
This most versatile of BigFoot pads adapts to the type of compound used. Its fine cell structure has a medium/hard consistency.  Produced from superior grade resins, the fine pad heightens the “gloss level” of the compounds while offering excellent speed of correction.

MEDIUM
The oscillating movement of the BigFoot systems is a perfect partner for the porous structure. The abrasive compound is not retained inside the pad but is continuously applied to the work surface, providing a constant layer of lubricated abrasive between the surface and the foam polishing pad.

COARSE

The large dimension of the cells  dissipates any heat build-up , allowing the compounds to work at optimum levels.The oscillating movement of the BigFoot systems is a perfect partner for the porous structure. The abrasive compound is not retained inside the pad but is continuously applied to the work surface, providing a constant layer of lubricated abrasive between the surface and the foam polishing pad. The use of Zephir abrasive compound is recommended.

UHS
Designed for scratch resistant and high solid ceramic paints, the RUPES UHS Polishing System REMOVES IMPERFECTION AND LEAVES A HIGH-GLOSS FINISH IN JUST 1-STEP. The UHS foam pads also perform well with the RUPES Zephir (Blue), Quarz (Green) and Keramik (Yellow) compounds in heavy correction and gloss enhancement applications with most types of clear coat paints.

EXTRAFINE
Manufactured from a high-density resin that results in a particularly soft consistency with a very fine cell structure, this foam pad adapts itself beautifully to convex surfaces and irregular shapes typically found on sports cars and vintage vehicles. Its unique soft density makes it ideal for attaining an ultragloss surface finish. The use of Diamond abrasive compound is recommended for a “show car” finish.
