Rupes MKII 15 - Considering Purchasing - will GG BOSS pads work with it?

If I remember correctly, you'll be attending the competition ready class in September right? Since it's right around the corner, try to wait(says someone with no patience) until then to decide if you want to purchase it being you'll be able to have some hands on with one. If you have already had a chance to use one then disregard this message I guess lol Just a suggestion if you haven't

I have both LHR 15 and a G21 with a 5" BP installed on it and use the Griots pads on both. I actually prefer them over the Rupes pads on my Duetto and my LHR 15. Sorry Rupes, but that's my 2 cents on it.

I love the BOSS MF pads and I'm planning to use them on my Rupes 15.

The boss microfiber pads work great on the LHR15 Mark II. Other than that those are the only Griot's pads I use on my Rupes.

Hi LK, sadly we had a family emergency come up which will require attention in September, and plan on taking the May 2017 class.

Sorry to hear about that. Hope all is well.

I'd recommend Rupes pads for many reasons that have been mentioned over and over on this forum previously.

However, I'm sure the Boss pads will work fine. Look at the Boss machine vrs Rupes - it didn't come to be by serendipity. Neither did the pads.

Also, I have the machine and love it.

You definitely will be fine with regards to the BOSS pads matching the diameter of the Rupes BP.

The Rupes pads have a center hole as well.

I've been using the Buff and Shine Low Pro pad (they have a center hole too) on my Bigfoot 15mm and like them and I also use the LC Thin Pro pads too. I guess when I need to buy some more pads, I may try the Griot's pads as well.

After a few months of getting use to my 15 mk2 I can pretty much use any pad/product combo with great success. There was a small learning curve but my machine never ever stalls and I don't eat up pads.

However I will say you should at least try some Rupes pads out. Even with the GG inventory you own,the Rupes system works extremely well.
