Rupes Green Pads?

Don't hear too much about them. How do they cut and finish?

They do well. But most people go straight from blue to yellow for a two step. And go with just yellow for a one step. So you really don’t have a need for them. I don’t even think Rupes has a package with them in it. I do occasionally use the green polish (Quarz Gloss) with a blue pad though. That works well in some situations.

I like them. Medium cut, finish down well.

I have used them a few times and they do a good job if looking to do a one step polish with a more aggressive pad without going to a cutting pad. Stiffer pad similar to the UHS pad. Some have claimed that they are not as durable. I have not had issues with them but I don't do this as a job. The Buff & Shine Maroon Urotec is an alternative to the Rupes green pad.

I used them on my brothers Tahoe with Sonax Cut & Finish.

Based upon the results I got on this Porsche with FG400 I'd say they cut and finish down as a ten on a ten scale:

it all depends on paint you working on but overall the end result is good with FG400 or Megs D300.

Thanks guys. I love rupes yellow for 1 steps and finishing, but when I need a bit more cut, the green might be good. Gonna try a few.

You might want to look at rupes yellow wool pads. I just picked up mine but have not tried them yet but I do hear good things about them

I actually just got some of those. On all my free spinning DAs, they wobble. Do not like the feel at all. They feel great with the 3401, however.

Wow: amazing that you started/finished with FG400. I usually have to finish with SF4000 or SF4500. And just the green pad? Did you lighten the pressure toward the end?
