Rupes DA Blue Coarse Cutting Foam Pad
High-Performance Coarse Cutting Foam Pad
The D-A COARSE blue foam pad is the most aggressive foam option in the BigFoot pad family. The design and material are engineered to optimize the cutting action of random orbital and gear-drive orbital polishers while delivering a quality finish.

Tips for success:
- Pair this pad with RUPES compounds for best results.
- Priming process for foam pads (video): mark an 'X' on the pad's surface with compound. Run the tool at speed 2 for 20 seconds to prime the pad.
- Apply an additional 1-4 small dots in the remaining empty spaces and begin the polishing process.
- Reload the pad with small amounts of compound, typically only a few drops. Oversaturating the pad with compound can lead to diminished performance.
- Clean pads frequently during use with compressed air, a vacuum, or RUPES claw pad tool to maintain consistent performance.
- After use, clean the pad with warm water and a mild soap, rinse well to remove residues, and air dry.
- Avoid the use of solvent-based compounds and cleaners to prevent damage to the pad's structure.
- Use a minimum of two pads per vehicle, swapping in 15-minute intervals.
