    Re: Rupe`s Review: 15 * Diamond Ultra Fine Gel * 150mm Finishing Foam Pad

    Great review swanic!

    I like the white polish. The green and blue splatter and dust, so I`m not particularly fond of them.

    Two things I do to remove tape lines are
    1) before applying the tape, stick it on your pants and then on the car. It lets excess residue stay on your pants instead of paint.
    2) after taking off the tape, slightly polish the tape lines really quickly. I usually move the buffer around 1 ft/second. It seems to take off residue lines without marring the surface somehow. Theoretically, I would think doing this would mar the surface, but after testing many times, it never has.

    Excellent review. Thank you for sharing. I have found almost the exact same. Rupes Diamond Gel finishes GREAT but it can be a little smeary to wipe off! Cannot believe I missed this one the first time around.

    Excellent review! We have switched to strictly rupes pads and polishes, no washer needed.
    If you get splatter and a lot of dusting,to much product.
    We switched because we felt a system approach works well.

    I`m glad to hear this. The Rupes works great as a system, although there is certainly nothing wrong with a little experimentation.

    I definitely think Rupes pads work best with Rupes polishers. However, I find other polishes work better for me.

    Whenever I put another pad on my duetto,it vibrates noticeably more than with a rupes pad. And my duetto hates 6.5 inch lc ht pads by the way

    The griots and pcxp vibrate WAY more than the duetto. It`s a superior machine in every facet. I need to pick up a Rupes 75E mini soon.
