Rupes Ultra...

I'm using Ulimate Compound, and it has plenty of cut for the paint surfaces I have. I'm running out and want to try something else with similar or slightly less cut. I purchased Sonax PF based on the...

Anyone have experience with Menzerna FG400 and Wolfgang Uber Compound in comparison to Meguairs Ultimate Compound in terms of cutting ability?

How does Meguairs Ultimate Compound compare to CarPro Fixer in terms of cut with a DA?

I went ahead and tried a bottle of Sonax Perfect Finish with a PC and a Rupes, and it worked well with a good work time and came off easy. It left a, literally, squeaky surface. I wiped down the...

This is not a statement, but rather a question. My interpretation of comments in this thread is that a rotary is required to break the product down, and using any DA will result in the product hiding...

Does this mean that Sonax Perfect Finish is not suitable for use with a Rupes 15 or cannot be used to it's full potential with a Rupes?

I had a couple of products shipped during the past weeks freezing conditions, and I'd like to know how to tell if they may may have froze during shipping. Is there a good way to determine this?

For those who have tried both waterless and rinseless washes for similar levels of surface contamination, is one method less safe in regards to surface marring?

I've tried both a few times and...

Just my own cars, and occasionally for friends. I have the Rupes 15, and I have not stalled the pad on my own cars by watching how I hold it in relationship to the panel and other techniques you've...

Thanks Mike for your detailed response.

Does the Duetto maintain pad rotation better than the Rupes 15, or the Rupes 21 you have with the 6" pads and the washer mod? I hope I'm not belaboring...

MIke, did you experience an improvement with the washer mod?

Mike, thanks for the write up and comparision.

The Duetto has a max speed of 5500, which is below the other DAs, and only 500 above the Rupes 15 with the same size pad. Do you notice the...

I too hear no difference in sound, or any other change, when moving from speed 5 to speed 6. Does anyone have a correlation between speed setting and OPM?

For lightly soiled surfaces, is a waterless wash as safe as a rinseless wash? When I say lightly soiled surface, I mean on the order of the blue Tundra in Mike's thread on rinseless wash.

Some places list the size as the face diameter and some as the diameter at the mounting surface. AG has the three pads sizes required for the Rupes polishers being sold here.

Thanks Mike. I bought the LHS15ES and was considering the 75E to replace my 7424 for use with 4" pads. The Rupes 15 has been great with much less felt vibration.

At the risk of of going off...

What I meant was a comparison between the 75E and the 7424 when both equipped with the 4" Rupes pad size used by the 75E.

Does the Rupes 75E have an advantage over the 7424 for the same size pad?

The format of the MSDS is changing and all US companies must be in compliance by some time next year (not sure of the exact month). The US and EU sheets will look very much the same after the change...

I know it may be difficult to tell from a picture, but there doesn't appear to be much change with the second step. Can the Rupes Zephir Gloss Coarse Gel Compound be used as a single step with the...

All sizes of D103 APC+ have been discontinued.

Anyone know what APC+ was discontinued?

Would the same hold for the yellow and white pads? There are times I'd like to polish out a small area as a touch up, but I feel like I'm wasting polish because I use so much to prime the pad and...
