Full Description

The Rupes DA Intermediate Foam Pad joins the Rupes D-A Series foam pad range, positioning in between D-A Fine yellow pad and D-A Coarse blue pad.

It is the most versatile foam pad in the BigFoot range and can be used with several Rupes compounds, such as D-A Coarse and D-A 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 D-A 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.
