So, RUPES works well as a "system"....
but not all the time. Worked on a black mustang today. The blue coarse pad and zephir compound wouldn't cut it, while Meg's MF cutting pads and Classic Cut compound did. I then tried a Rupes yellow pad with the yellow polish(to finish). Left marring. Then tried the Rupes white pad with white polish. Little better, but still marring. So I busted out CarPro Reflect with a crimson hydro pad.....boo-yah....finished perfectly.
I you strictly relied on the Rupes complete system, I do not think you could achieve perfection(or close to it) on every car. I do feel the Rupes pads balance the best with their polishers. Just tried some standard thickness LC HYDRO pads today and they worked pretty good! The thin ones wobbled too much.

I want to use CG 5 inch pads. What do you think?
Always keep the shine in your life.

CG pads are not super thin, they should work nicely.

I've been recently hooked on reflect after being an m205 lover. WHOA!

He paint was too hard to cut with Rupes' most aggressive combo - and to soft to finish without marring with their finest cut combo ???

Reflect is becoming my favorite finisher! I just ordered 2 more 32oz bottles from Corey.

Not sure. Maybe I didn't use the Rupes polishes correctly? What I do know is I got better results with other products.
FWIW, I got great results with Reflect and the white Rupes pad as well.

Reflect by CarPro is the latest & greatest finishing polish I have ever used!

I wasn't doubting your skills - because I know you know what's up.
I was just curious.
