Revisited Rupes UHS system

[11B250]

It really will depend on the paint surface you are polishing (and other variables).

On most paints, I find that UHS (pad/polish) will have a slight advantage of cutting power of the original Quarz and slightly less than the new Quarz. In terms of finish, I find that UHS will finish better than either version of Quarz.

On harder, high-solid scratch-resistant clear coats, UHS will suffer less than other polishing systems. On PPG's cremaclear, for example, the UHS can out perform even the Zephir/blue foam in cutting ability while generating a flawless finish.

So how will the UHS system work with a non rupes polisher? (let's say forced rotation) Just curious...

and I hear this ceramiclear alot lately. Wasn't this a clearcoat that was used for a very short time on mercedes? (The paint code is supposed to hace a C or something on the plate) my Cl550 doesn't have that C to denote ceramiclear?

Ceramic clear or high solids clear... its really just boils down to really hard clear coat (concrete hard). The UHS system was designed to address those paint systems, but honestly it works like a charm on everything. I use it almost exclusively on my toyota 4runner and the paint on that thing is average to soft.

As far as the use on a gear driven tool... not sure. I honestly haven't tried it, but if you do let us know how it goes.

Maybe you've had a chance by now to try it on the new Mille 900E? I have quite a few UHS pads and noticed there are new Rupes Mille polish formulas.
