🌀 Precision is power when it comes to polishing. Large pads are great for bonnet and door panels, but what about tight spaces? That’s where the Rupes 40mm Spot Pads (Ultra Fine - White) shine. Designed for finesse, these little powerhouses are ideal for polishing intricate areas like grilles, wing mirrors, and trim edges.
These smaller pads allow users to isolate correction work, minimising the risk of over-polishing adjacent panels. The ultra-fine grade makes them ideal for refining paint after a heavy cut or for finishing soft, finicky clear coats. They're also an excellent choice for motorbikes or smaller components like spoilers and mirrors. With their precise footprint, they allow for detailed correction without bleeding over into adjacent panels.
✅ Why It Matters:
-
Access tighter curves without overspill
-
Ideal for jewelling polish stages
-
Perfect for motorcycles, spoilers, and smart repairs
-
Reduces chances of holograms in final stages
-
Allows more control in correction zones with varied contours
🛠 Pro Workflow Tip: Start by taping off adjacent panels and emblems with masking tape to prevent accidental abrasion. Pair your spot pads with a low-cut polish for jewelling or a medium compound for small scratch removal. After every section, clean your pad with compressed air or a dedicated pad brush to prevent dust build-up, which can reduce cutting power.
💡 Top Tip: Remember to mark your pads for each product type to avoid cross-contamination. A single pad used with multiple compounds can interfere with the clarity of your finish and introduce defects.
