Rupes Keramik Gloss + Pinnacle Black Label Paint Coating

[House of Wax]

I`ve had some Rupes Keramik Gloss sitting around that I hadn`t gotten around to trying and just recently received some of their microfiber polishing pads to try out.....wife and kids were out of town last weekend so I took advantage of the free time by giving my 07 Ram a light polish and adding some Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Paint Coating.


I don`t have any "before" pictures because quite frankly the HD Nitro Seal that I`ve had on it for the last year or so did a damn fine job. I inspected the paint on my truck before polishing and to be honest, there wasn`t any "need" to do anything. There were little to no swirls or rids and the paint felt very smooth still. There`s was definitely life left in the Nitro Seal, but I had the free time, so I proceeded.


On to the Rupes products. Combo used was my Rupes21 + Rupes Blue finishing pad + Rupes Keramik Gloss Fine Gel Polish. First thought that came to mind when I was using it was smooooooth. They did their homework with everything. The machine and pads ran smooth as butter, virtually zero dusting, and the keramik gloss left a damn fine shine. The pads just took a quick blast with the air compressor after a section and they were ready to go again.


The Pinnacle Black Label coating advertises up to 3 years protection. I`ve used it on a few vehicles, but this will be the first time it`s going on one of my own though, so I`ll be able to really track it`s performance. In any case, it looks great when it goes on.


And lastly, here`s the pic dump:
