New RUPES Tools + New Pads + New Product!

I'm sitting at Nick's Tomato Pie at the PBI airport






Waiting for my flight to Colorado, (home state for RUPES U.S.A) and I have some time to kill so here's some pictures Jason Rose sent me from Italy, showing the new RUPES tools, pads and products from their newly released brochure.

Very exciting stuff that's going to again revolutionize the way we polish paint.

More exciting announcements to come in the future!

Enjoy!

Wow so much cool stuff right around the corner!

Edit: a progressive trigger, pretty awesome

Honestly right now I'm most interested in that breakfast. I'm starving!

Safe trip, Mike! New wool pads and specific polishes for the Mille and rotary, very cool!!

Thanks for posting, Mike!

Looks like I'll have to clean you guys out of the current blue and yellow microfiber pads though... :/

Are they discontinuing those? I think the current ones are for the big foot 15 and 21 system and the newer microfibers for the Mille?

They have new flater foam pads too for the new machine.

specific polishes for the Mille and rotary, very cool!!

I didn't even notice that, I guess I spent too much time looking at the pizza. I guess Jason Rose has been working on those polishes...I'm not sure if I think machine-specific polishes are a good thing or a bad thing...on the one hand I have too many polishes already, on the other hand I understand trying to optimize the product for the machine...although I'd need to hear Jason explain it before I sign on to the reasoning.

Does anybody here actually use different polishes if they switch from a rotary to a 3401 to a DA? I mean besides the obvious that you might be compounding with a rotary and doing other steps with the other machines that would use different products because they are different steps. But I mean let's say you are doing the same step on different parts of the same vehicle, say using a 3401 for the large panels and a PC with a small pad for tighter areas...are you going to use a different chemical because one is forced and one free?

Good questions. Very interesting idea with the specific polishes. To this day, there are a few rotary specific polishes, but for the most part, polishes are universal and the results have been spectacular. A nice idea for the specific line, but hardly NEEDED, IMO.
