Rupes green foam pads

[luckydawg]

I see that these pads are now obsolete, there are some left ( not in the size i need though ) but are going away with nothing that I can see similar to take their place. These were my favorite pad. Has anyone who has been using them found anything similar? If so what would that be?
I dont / wont use any MF pads-- I only use foam.

I would say the Lake Country HDO blue cutting pad is similar.

I would say the Lake Country Hybrid Force in Orange is similar.


I think we had a bunch in the close-out section of the warehouse. You want me to check?

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but all the green in all sizes are gone.

Lots of the grey and white left in all sizes.

Thanks for taking the time and checking though
Guess its time to switch pad brands

Buff and shine maroon foam pad is about the same with better durability.

buff and shine maroon pads work great. green rupes never held up well for me. just beware that on software paints they will tend to leave micro marring / haze like the green pads would too.

I put the maroon a step higher in cut than the orange lake country pads but below wool or microfiber.

to bad buff & shine only makes them in two sizes

I've used the B&S Maroon pads a lot in my classes and agree, they are similar to the green RUPES pad only better.

I agree with all of the above. Good summary.

Thanks for all of the feed back fellas- I will try the B&S maroon for the larger pads & look into something else for the smaller pads
