    Re: Rupes Microfiber Cutting Disc with Rupes Zephir Gloss Coarse Gel Compound

    I've posted a number of times since SEMA how we used the blue foam cutting pad on this same black demo hood HUNDREDS if not thousands of times to demonstrate Uber Compound and the Duetto polisher in our booth.

    This is under very intense and cruel lights. And in front of hundreds of people each day.

    Each time we would sand and then remove the sanding marks the paint would look like it was just waxed. This happens with both the Zephir Compound and the Uber Compound. I haven't tired it with other compounds.


    In the shot below I just finished removing sanding marks in the center of the panel and am now working the outside corner, all while talking to someone.





    It's one thing to talk about it... it's another thing to demonstrate it over and over again on black paint.

    I find this defect removing ability plus finishing down so nicely of these incredibly coarse foam cutting pads to be very impressive.

    Although, the 12mm orbit is obviously smaller than the 21, it seems to be no slouch.

    so you wouldn't prime the blue pad because it's very course, what about the green yellow and white pad? is it also unnecessary because of the system?
