    Rupes UHS...

    Any fans out there? Can supposedly be a nice one-step system...

    Any frequent users?

    I think it was the advice of The Guz that taught me how to properly use it, but I`ve only used it a few times last year.

    Very kind of you Budget. I recently sold off my 21mkII, along with some Rupes pads/gels. Kept the UHS stuff, though.

    What about it didn`t you like?

    Gave it a shot 3 times, hard paint, soft paint and probably 1 kinda in between and really didn`t do anything that I couldn`t get done with less `technique` using other things.

    i.e. too lazy to learn how to use it well.

    Came as an afterthought when I got into Rupes system last winter. Still like the Rupes yellow and white pads/liquids, have the blue as well but rarely use.

    And tired of seeing 32oz bottles in my cabinet...why the heck I thought I needed 32oz bottles of things when I was just starting out last year and didn`t know what I liked yet was, uh, kinda a miscalculation on my part. Oops.

    Got it. Will ship tomorrow and shoot you tracking info.

    Thanks for the offer of stuff but I`m downsizing this off season!

    Still gotta sort thru pads...can never have enough of those...shelf is full but sending off UHS clears 6 spots in my last `organized` container.

    Nice. Yeah I kinda agree. I have tried it a couple of times and really it just doesn`t do it for me.

    I guess I’m the only one who had success with the UHS system.

    It worked nicely for me the few times I tried it; it was just kinda redundant with some other things I have acquired since that work more `naturally` for me. Can take a bit to get used to the UHS pads...first time I used it, man...did it make a slinging mess of polish. I`m still working on my technique with the Rupes and while I`m pretty good with microfiber and the yellow and white pads, the stiffness on the UHS pads was making a mess due to my current Rupes inadequacies.

    Can pretty much get the same, quicker results on a variety of paints (especially softer/stickier ones) using Scholl S20 black and their blue/purple/honey spider pads if`n I`m in heavier one-step territory. Lighter one step for me is better accomplished with Sonax Perfect Finish w/ yellow rupes. Like I mentioned above, still not the great with Rupes and throw some thick, firmer pads at me and it becomes comedic in short order.

    I can never have too many pads, aside from the UHS...I love `em all as far as Rupes go. The yellows are especially versataile and on soft paint like a Subaru, the white pads/polish do a nice job of eeking out that last bit of shine.

    I might get rid of my Rupes blue pads/compounds but already spoken for...
