RUPES DA Light Blue Intermediate Foam Pad
The most versatile foam pad in th BigFoot Range!
The RUPES D-A 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.

- Apply 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. Over-saturating 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 pad with warm water and a mild soap, rinse well to remove residues, air dry.
- Avoid the use of solvent-based compounds and cleaners to prevent damage to the pad's structure.
- Use minimum two pads per vehicle, swapping in 15 minutes intervals.
