Materials & Construction
This ultra-fine foam polishing pad features a waffle-textured face engineered to correct paint imperfections and remove polishing haze, leaving a high-gloss finish. It is built for use with rotary polishers to complete the final stage of a professional polishing process.
Product Description
Why you'll want it
- Clears haze and fine flaws. Use it after heavier polishing to take off the haze that stage leaves, and to smooth out small paint flaws.
- Waffle face runs cooler. The waffle-shaped face does not touch the surface all at once, so it runs cooler and lowers the chance of overheating the paint.
- A high-gloss shine. It is made to leave a high-gloss finish on painted surfaces, and the waffle design gives a smoother polish.
- A fall project for spring. This fall, use it to bring up the gloss, so the paint is ready to show when the boat goes back in the water in spring.
What it is
The RUPES Velcro Waffle Ultra-Fine Polishing Foam Pad is a 180mm pad for rotary polishers, made by RUPES. It is white and has hook-and-loop (Velcro) backing that attaches to compatible backing plates. Its waffle-textured face is the part that sets it apart.
How to use it
- Attach the pad to a compatible rotary polisher, such as the RUPES BigFoot LH19E.
- Use it in the final polishing stage, paired with UNO Pure Compound, to remove haze and reach a high-gloss finish.
What else the job needs
Good to have on hand: a rotary polisher, and a compound such as UNO Pure Compound, which RUPES recommends pairing with this pad.
