Rupes Rotary Blue Coarse Foam Cutting Pad

The Rupes Rotary Blue Coarse Foam Cutting Pad is purpose-built for rotary polishers - delivering powerful cut with control and a surprisingly clean finish.

The Rupes Blue Coarse Foam Pad is a dense, high-cut foam cutting pad designed exclusively for rotary polishers. Engineered with a rigid structure and open-cell foam composition, it maximises power transfer from the machine to the paintwork - letting you remove deep sanding marks, oxidation, and severe defects with consistent stability.

Rotary pads often struggle with heat build-up and instability, but this one holds its form and stays comfortable to use thanks to its open-cell airflow design. It’s ideal for tackling defects like 1500-grit sanding scratches, water etching, or neglected paint in need of aggressive compounding - especially on harder or freshly resprayed finishes.

While it’s a heavy-cut pad, it still finishes better than you'd expect when paired with the right compound and technique, making it a solid choice for those seeking a controlled but aggressive first step in paint correction.
