Rupes X-Cut Foam Backed Abrasive Sanding Pads - Ø 125mm - 5 inch

Professional Wet Sanding Solution for Flawless Paint Correction

Ø 125mm (5 inch) - Available in 1500, 2000, or 3000 Grit

RUPES X-Cut foam abrasive disks deliver professional-grade wet sanding performance that transforms your paint correction workflow. Designed specifically for contoured surfaces and rounded edges, these foam-backed pads create an ultra-smooth finish that dramatically reduces your compounding and polishing time.

Why Detailers Choose X-Cut Foam Abrasives

• Superior Finish Quality: Aluminium oxide abrasive structure produces consistent, shallow sanding marks that polish out quickly to a mirror finish
• Contour-Friendly Design: Foam backing conforms to curves and edges where traditional sandpaper fails
• Reduced Correction Steps: Finer scratch pattern means less aggressive compounding needed
• Wet/Damp Application: Fabric substrate works perfectly with water for dust-free sanding and extended pad life
• Perfect for 5 Inch Machines: Ideal for use with the RUPES LHR15, LHR12E Duetto, or any 5 inch orbital or dual action sander/polisher

Professional Applications

Remove deep scratches, orange peel, and texture from clear coat without the deep sanding marks of traditional abrasives. Perfect for larger panel work, blending areas, and levelling runs or sags in fresh paint. The 125mm size offers excellent coverage for bonnets, roofs, and doors.
