Rupes DA Coarse Blue Cutting Pad

A proper high-cut foam pad - tough enough for correction, refined enough to finish well. Built for DA and gear-driven polishers.

The Rupes DA Coarse Blue Cutting Pad is designed to work with both random orbital and gear-driven machines, making it a versatile, high-performance choice for detailers needing serious cut with solid finishing potential. Whether you're using a Mille, BigFoot DA, or any forced rotation tool, this pad handles the load without collapsing.

Constructed with a new-generation open-cell foam, it combines the aggressiveness of the old blue pad with the balance and durability of the green - giving you a cutting pad that’s more consistent, longer lasting, and more effective across a wider range of paint types.

When paired with Rupes DA Coarse Compound, it makes quick work of moderate to heavy defects while still finishing down better than most aggressive foam options.

    Many people tend to think because white coloured cars are less inclined to show up swirl marks they are less complicated to correct. That's not always the case. Take for example the 'often' heavily oxidised (single stage) white cars. Compounding can break down and remove the oxidisation giving the car back some gloss but it also loads up a pad with the abundance of dead pigment which can often 'clog' the pad reducing its efficiency. Enter the Rupes DA Coarse cutting pad. Its great cell structure gives this dead pigment somewhere to go in the pad while the leaving the surface clear to do its job of correction. A good cleaning with compressed air after every section is my recommendation. Handy for other finishes as well, I feel it excels in this situation.
