    Rupes Keramik (yellow) dust

    Anyone experienced that Rupes Keramik paste produce some amount of dust - not hyper dusting but lot of if we consider that is finishing paste.
    I use it with Rupes Yellow pad on LHR15 Mark II and primed per Rupes instructions (4 dots, work for some 20-30 seconds on speed 2, add 2 drops and start polishing) it start to dust before pad is saturated with product.

    Working for 20-30 seconds is when using the green or blue pads, Keramik with yellow pad can be used as normal, 4 dots and start polishing after spreading.

    Re: Rupes Keramik (yellow) dust

    Rupes does not exclude yellow and white pads from priming procedure and little bit working before help to seften the pad.
    Depends of outer temperature it does not have to be for 30 sec but still it needs some priming before.
    Btw I try to work without priming and it still dust

    Try Keramik the way I mentioned above and see if improves, that’s the way I've been using it for years without issue.

    Reduce the size of your drops.

    There are times I'll even use one drop.

    This whole system is counterintuitive. The pads should never feel wet, soggy, or saturated. Basically reverse of everything we've been previously instructed.

    When I first started with the Rupes system on a 21 MK2, I had to keep reminding myself: Use little to no pressure!!
