When will we get more info about Rupes new microfiber pads, i saw picture on instagram, it had white fibers. Are those new low profile foam pads designed for Bigfoots too or just Mille? Also there will be different polishes for a rotary or just new labels?

I read somewhere there is all new pads, compound/polish, and obviously the two new machines. Im looking forward to more information. I would say the lower profile pads are for all the machines considering the long throw polishers do great with the thinner pads.

Hmmmm a forced DA like the Flex 3401 this will be interesting to see the comparison. My 3401 is an absolute workhorse and is my usual go to machine for my daily polisher. I have always been a huge fan or the forced rotation machine (still waiting for the other forced rotation Flex polisher):dunno: I got to play with the FLEX at SEMA two years ago and I loved it.

I just stocked up on the old ones. They're my favorite!

The wool pads look very interesting!

Here is a thread the Mike Phillips posted, with catalog shots.

The microfiber pads looks very much like the old ones, which means they are stiff but i wanna try them. Those wool pads looks amazing, hopefully they are available soon. I would guess that they are more agressive than microfiber pads.
