    More Glossier finishing polish: Rupes Keramik gloss or Rupes Diamond Gloss?

    Hi friends

    On the rupes system, which finishing polish and pad combination gives a more glossy finish?

    Rupes Keramik Gloss on Yellow foam pad or Rupes Diamond Gloss on Rupes White foam pad?

    99.9% of the time, Diamond on a white pad.

    I'd agree with that....

    All of the below cars were cut with RUPES Blue/Blue and finished with RUPES White/White.

    Some were my detail projects and some were cars I used for my 3-day detailing classes where my students did all the work.






















    More of the Monte above taken outisde....













    From one of my detailing classes....




    Another car from one of my detailing classes....

    Here she is in full sun!












    Yet another car from one of my detailing classes....

    Meghan already owns a Rupes Bigfoot 21 and knows how to make show car polishing look easy! This also shows how smooth the Rupes Bigfoot polishers are and especially the fine cut and ultra fine cut polishes and matching polishing pads.




    Here's Barry using light pressure to perfect the finish...








    The white foam pad in the RUPES line is incredibly soft, one of the best finishing pads on the market as the pictures above document.

    The RUPES Diamond Ultra Fine Cut polish is one of the best fine cut finishing polishes on the market.

    Together this comb is top notch for taking a show car's paint to it's maximum potential.

    Yes. There is some leeway on which pads can be used with which compounds.
