How to Use (Best Practices from RUPES)

1. Decontaminate the surface properly before starting any polishing procedure.
2. Pair with the correct Rotary Coarse pads (blue foam or rotary wool pads) for the intended cut/finish balance.
3. Clean pads frequently with compressed air or a pad cleaning tool (RUPES references the Claw Pad Tool) to maintain consistent performance.
4. Do not over-saturate the pad with compound.
5. If you are only addressing mild surface defects, RUPES recommends using Rotary Fine instead of Rotary Coarse.
