Description
The RUPES DA INTERMEDIATE Foam Pad joins the RUPES DA Series foam pad range, positioning in between DA FINE yellow pad and DA COARSE blue pad. It is the most versatile foam pad in the BigFoot range and can be used with several RUPES compounds, such as DA COARSE and DA FINE as well as UNO ADVANCED and UNO PROTECT.
It has the polishing power to remove severe defects from a wide variety of painted and solid surfaces when paired with RUPES D-A COARSE blue compound. When used with RUPES DA FINE yellow polishing compound, it removes moderate-to-fine defects and creates a high-gloss finish. The highly engineered foam formula really shines when paired with UNO PROTECT or UNO ADVANCED for final polishing and creating a durable layer of protection.
Features:
- Intermediate Foam Density: The medium-density foam offers an excellent balance between cutting power and finishing, ideal for light to medium defect removal while delivering a smooth, refined finish.
- Open-Cell Foam Structure: Allows better airflow, promoting efficient heat dissipation during polishing, which helps prevent surface overheating and maintains pad durability.
- Dual Action Polisher Optimized: Specifically designed for use with DA (dual action) polishers, ensuring optimal performance when used with Rupes BigFoot machines and polishing compounds.
- High Durability: Made from high-quality foam material that resists wear and tear, even after extended use, retaining its shape and performance for long-lasting results.
- Color-Coded for Easy Identification: The Azure (blue) foam corresponds to Rupes’ color-coded system, making it easy to choose the right pad for intermediate polishing tasks.
- Versatile Usage: Suitable for use on a wide range of paint types, including single-stage, clear coats, and ceramic coatings, making it a go-to choice for light to medium defect removal.
- Smooth Polishing Performance: Delivers a consistent polishing experience with minimal pad chatter, reducing the chance of creating swirls or holograms for a flawless finish.
