Materials & Construction
This is a hook-and-loop RUPES foam polishing pad sized for 80/100mm backing plates, built to bridge coarse cutting and fine finishing steps in a single versatile pad for a smoother, more consistent paint finish.
Product Description
Why you'll want it
- One pad for coarse and fine steps. It sits in the middle of the D-A Series, between the yellow fine pad and the blue coarse pad. Several RUPES compounds work with it, so you change compound, not pad, between steps.
- Handles severe and fine defects. With D-A COARSE compound, it helps remove severe defects on many painted and solid surfaces. With D-A FINE compound, it takes out moderate-to-fine defects and leaves a high-gloss shine.
- Finishes with UNO protection. Pair it with UNO PROTECT or UNO ADVANCED for the final polish. That step helps build a protective layer on the surface.
- Polish before winter storage this fall. October is haul-out season. Finish work done before winter storage means the boat is ready when spring comes.
What it is
This RUPES foam polishing pad is the D-A Intermediate, in light blue, sized for 80/100mm plates. It belongs to the RUPES D-A Series, where colors help tell the pads apart.
How to use it
- Mount the pad on the BigFoot backing plate, then attach it to the polisher.
- Pick the compound for your step: D-A COARSE for severe defects, D-A FINE for moderate-to-fine defects, or UNO PROTECT or UNO ADVANCED for the final polish.
- When you finish, clean the pad with a pad cleaner to take off spent compound.
- Let it dry completely before you store or reuse it.
What else the job needs
Good to have on hand: a BigFoot backing plate, the D-A and UNO compounds this pad works with, and a pad cleaner.
