    Pads for RUPES LhR75e

    Before I start, I realize that using the RUPES pads are the best for balance and the machine. I have a RUPES 15 and I have been using Megs Thin Foam pads and their MF pads because that is what I had before and didn't want to buy all new pads and polishes. My question is, what pads are compatible with the Mini?

    Do Meguiars 4 inch pads work or would they tear right off?

    Have not use them yet I hope they work, I'm looking more toward getting buff & shine 4" pads I hope lakecountry will make a hd version I like their 6" ones. Rupes pads are to pricey. Adams has a 4" pad that looks like lakecountry hd version but way to expensive.

    Thanks Tpr. That's what I've been seeing. LC has 4inch pads but they have so many options it gets confusing on which ones to buy.

    I personally have enjoyed using the Buff and Shine 4 inch pads. I find no vibration with the B&S pads just like I would using the Rupes pads.

    I'm using Buff & Shine 4" pads. I experimented with LC's it tears them up pretty quickly, backing velcro comes off.

    I have the Rupes pads, buy em on a sale. They really do work the best and last the longest. Another that works really well are the 4" self centering ones because the center is three inches.

    A good option is the 3" LC hydro techs (low profile). They work very well and being a little smaller, allow you to get into even tighter areas.
