    Thanks Custmsprty, I had not seen these on the AG site, so I was unaware they carried them.

The Rupes pad base is 3" but being wider at the surface contact point it is actually better than a 3" pad. It allows you to get in to the tight area while minimizing banging the polisher into say a mirror or tight bumper area. I share this from personal experience. You can also see your work better because of the beveling of the Rupes pad. I'll take the Rupes 4" pad over the other 3" pads all day long.
    Your logic makes good sense. Thanks for sharing this.

    I'm always a little lighter handed with Hydrotech pads. They excellent at what they do.

    Watch the amount of downward pressure. Remember it is focused on a much smaller are than a 5" pad


    More likely to "twist" paint than "burn" it
    Sweet, thanks for the tidbit AGO!

    This and your previous quote regarding tearing up of "other" pads has been very insightful. I'll have to start seriously looking into the whole Rupes line. Thanks Custm!
