RUPES D-A Fine Foam Polishing Pad, 5 in Yellow

If you only keep one RUPES foam pad on the shelf, this is usually it. RUPES calls the D-A Fine foam pad the most versatile in the BigFoot range, with an effective rate of defect removal and the ability to finish to high gloss on most paint systems, which means it can carry a job from the polishing step through to the last pass.

This is the 9.DA150M, listed by RUPES at 130 by 150 mm, sized for a 5 inch backing plate. That is the size most people run on doors, fenders and roofs without fighting body lines. RUPES recommends pairing it with D-A Fine polishing compound for moderate to fine defect removal, paint refinement or final finishing after heavy compounding. RUPES notes the foam is the same material as the earlier random orbital yellow pad, expanded to work with gear driven orbitals as well.
