Todd,you can ship all of the old Meguiars pads my way..😆👍

Outstanding review Todd. We are of course proud and happy to hear your comments about our new MF pads. They are all cutters in the true sense of the word. The UltraFine White MF has AMAZING range of cut, and finishes like foam. It is becoming my new favorite pad, personally.

I have been absolutely blown away with these pads. Each one can be used as a one step in most scenarios.

Very good breakdown on the new pads. Thanks

Listening via headphones while I rotary some contours using a trusty Dewalt, meguiars red and white wool pad and M100. Finishing with Rupes 21, Rupes Yellow foam and again M100 finishes really well on harder paints. Do love me some Rupes wool discs on some heavy cut projects. You know it when you need it.

Tod is the best. Not only does he have the answers but he explains everything so well it draws you in to the very end of the video! Thank you Tod for being the best at what you do.

Appreciate the explanation on how the pads are different!

Excellent video as always. You answered all of my questions before I could ask them. Thank you.

This is huge. Thanks for the insight and update, Todd 👍🏽

Great point about the blue MF pad. I was turned off as to how to stiff it is for contouring purposes. Good to know the yellow is still very capable!

Todd. Thanks for bringing these pads to the US. I can’t wait to try them. Do you think you could do a video showing the results of each pad? Or maybe a comparison with the Meguiar’s?

Excellent work Todd!! Excited to try them.

I'm excited to put these to the test.

Great video and information! Haven't tried these yet but looking forward to using them.

So far all of the new Rupes foam and wool pads have been amazing. Ill have to try these as well. I love their compounds as well. It seems like the Rupes stuff has become my go to.

Excellent explanation!!Ty

I haven’t tried the microfiber pads but the Rupes Wool pads are definitely a game changer, one question do those wool pads really stay more cool than foam and microfiber?? I’ve heard they’re really good at staying cool!

The mark buss ! Thanks to JR and the team for delivering much need line up. Much thanks to you Todd and Esoteric team for binging this one to us. Does the rupes microfiber has the same diameter as the meguiars DMC5 and DMC6.

Excellent review, Todd! You obviously prefer these to the Rupes Wool pads. What was it about the wool pads that kept them from taking that top spot?

I'd switch them out after every panel. And I recommend air blowing them out with air even during each section not just after, no more haze. I just hope that the fibres in the centre don't fray and same for the outside edge of the pads which when they do they expose that sharp edge of white material under the microfibre which some competitors wool and microfibre pads do and can scour paint. I'd like microfibre to be fully wrapped around the sides of the pad like a foam pad is so the sharp edges are covered. The centre hole is good but for better cooling some 6-8mm holes around the centre hole like the Americana foam pads, I found that there's heat still building up one to two inches away from the centre hole.

Todd, could you post a pic or video of what a pad looks like when you feel it should be discarded? I sometimes argue with myself about whether I am tossing pads too early and wasting money.

Hi Todd. Thanks for the very informative video. Quick question. Would you say the yellow Rupes pad is equivalent to the DMC pad from Meguiars?

Todd I like your Tudor Pepsi gmt ! Keep up the great content

It sounds like the coarse blue microfiber is the most aggressive. I used the blue pad on the hood of a 08 Honda after gently wet sanding w 3000 grit. It came out shiny enough that I sold that car last week. I'm now trying to figure out which pad to try on my 2nd car. Orange Griot's w Sonax products didn't get moderate scratches out on silver car. Is this yellow microfiber a better 1st choice to do a test spot as opposed to their wool pad ?

Awesome video,Todd..I definitely need these pads..Question.. What would I use if I wanted to remove my old ceramic coating?

Hi Todd, love your concise explanations. If you had to pick between Rupes' blue wool pad and yellow microfiber pad as your go-to compounding pad, which one would you pick?

Hi Todd. I recently bought the collection of the these pads and the Rupes compound collection also to use with color coordination. When using the yellow pad with yellow Rupes compound with my Rupes machine on speed 4. I got this effect of the product burnt on to the paint. Working a 2x2 section. Thank you in advance.

I used the Yellow MF with Sonax Perfect Finish on white paint. It looks great but obviously tough to see any haze it may or may not have left. Would you do a finishing step with White MF or foam with say Uno Pure before ceramic coating?

Which pads are for a one step correction ? Also Could the car be compounded and then finish with something like Rupes uno protect if the customer wants it cheaper without coating?

This is very interesting. I know what I’d order once I ran out of my Megs MF pads! Curious to know though, how would you stack these against Rupes’ corresponding colored wool pads? Would u say these cut slightly less but offer better finishing potential for example?

Hi Todd, Great videos and really enjoying the channel. I have a couple GM vehicles to do paint correction on both with very light defects (2018 black paint, 2022 grey paint). I understand this clearcoat and paint is relatively soft. You're recommending Rupes yellow foam and maybe white foam ultra fine for finishing on these applications? Could a yellow or white Rupes wool pad work well also if necessary? Thanks

Boss which one is the best for one step and quickly remove scratches and swirl I hope you reply my question because my company is using foam pad polytop works is good. But i need quicker to remove scratches and swirl or defect more power to you sir

How are these compared to the Lake Country microfiber lineup? Also where are the 2" pads? Part of my issue with these is while I have all Rupea pada currently, that's because they offer them in all sizes. I run 5", 3", and 2" pads. It sort of sucks thet don't offer their microfiber in the 2" size...while other brands do.

Good video bud. Have you found the cut hole in the middle of pad delivers a cooler running pad in comparison to meguiars, increasing durability and cut performance? Seems like a no brainer to switch. Right tool for the job Cheers!

After using yellow MF pad, what should I polish with? Or just use yellow MF pad and wipe with MF towel and you are done ?

If rupes buys this in bulk amazing

So Todd really starting to like 3d one if I use a yellow microfiber pad and 3d on ford black paint? Thanks learn a lot from you guys

Lake Country HDO microfibres pads blue cut or orange one step for me at the moment the best one.have to try new rupes and compare with LC.Good job👌Many thanks 😃

Excellent video Todd. How do these compare to the Lake Country microfibre pads?

Thanks for the info 👍

Great pad I live in Hollywood Florida were can I get the machine nd pad near me

sehr gutes Video 👍meine Frage gehört cosmic spritz zu ihren Favoriten ? will es nämlich mal ausprobieren. Gruß Waldemar schaffrat.

I have csl/exo on my car for a year now (2021 Bmw), i see some swerls here and there, i wanna fresh it up and reapply exo, i have prefect finish and yellow+white new rupes pad, wich one do you recommend? Thx

Hi Todd, I've only recently had to tear the packaging off the Rupes Blue Wool pad after what felt like banging my head against the wall with all manor of different foam pads. I thought I had the answer for BMW Ceramic paint but now you've thrown a spanner in the works. Is it possible to say which one would be used over the other?

With this wool line up when do you recommend to use those versus foam line up ?

Hi Todd ! I was wondering if by any chance are you the instructor that teaches people how to detail in Fort Worth,Florida? If so, I am very interested of taking the three day course somewhere around January, or February of 2023.

6:17 these pads have holes for bolt. back-plate has velcro which will scratch clear, when pad gets pressed that much. especially when run over contour.

What’s the benefit foam vs microfiber. I color sand and buff tons, and I use the 3m foam pads. Just now getting into the polishing process.

So would you use the blue compound polish with the yellow pad ?

Todd, what works better microfibre pads or wool pads , does it depend on the paint that im working with?

I have a brand new 2023 suburban is black what microfiber pad and compound should I use . 2 step as well thanks

Sir what your recomend for black color and like one time polishing pad because our company using polytop foam pad for rotary machine work is good but easy to broke the pads like one car per session i need faster remove swirl and heavy cutting and also rupes pads can use other brands of compound tnx you i hope you give answer im new subscriber more power to you.

What works better on freshly baked spies hecker clear to polish out 2000/3000?

Will you guys still use the standard foam pads or will these or can these be a direct replacement for the standard foam pad?

So is the microfiber itself the same between the 3 (or at least yellow vs. blue) and the foam interface different?

👍

How do they compare to the Buff n shine URO micro fiber pads?

how long does it take on average for 2 steps polish?

Anything you can say about durability yet?

Could you please demo these pads

Is there a link to these pads? I couldnt find them

Do you think they’ll offer these in 1” for the Nano?

I’ve tried them up but I have to say I’m disappointed, although I’ve been a rupees fan for years. Problem with them is they not durable at all and not cost effective at all, Lake country pads do the job way better and they really can take a of abuse

Do you guys get pad stall on rupes lhr 15?

Todd, you ever try the Griot's MF pads?

Don’t run it over 5 , if so they will blow up!

Paid shill for Rupes.

All he’s going to recommend is whatever he sells I’ve not even watched the video I’m out
