I need a substitute for the Rupes Green pad that doesn`t self destruct

[512detail]

Don`t know anything about Rupes pads, but the Maroon UT is a BEAST! Love it!

1 step worthy? or at least good enough to follow with Essence on a Rupes yellow pad for final finish?

im getting to where I only like essence as a final finish

I think so Brandt, if you follow them with a yellow and essence you should be in great shape.

Definitely one step worthy IMO. Can`t comment on essence, haven`t used it.

I`ve used the maroon with Sonax CutMax with great success, even on black. It still requires polishing after, but it finishes WAY better than expected.

I also love the fact that it seems to stay cool much better, and gums up at a much slower rate.

I will note that I only have a GG6", but they seem like super sturdy and well made pads by all means

I think I will pick up a pair of the maroon UT ones then- I like to keep my money in house- ACC has been good to me

Good choice! ACC has a better price on them in the first place compared to AG.
Pssst...the yellows are pretty awesome too

those DRC pads seem interesting
love their website and all the reading you can do on there. learned a few things today

I was trying to remember how i was turned onto them.
Rob from towel pros mentioned them to me. He said Renny Doyle uses them too.
You can actually talk to one of the Sabo brothers when you call.
That`s when i ordered my set of em.
2 of each of the 4 colors.

I will keep that in mind. and I didn`t check the cuts but if its the same as the yellow rupes I will give it a shot as a lot of my my yellow rupes pads are almost 3 years old and showing their age from use

I noticed that as well. I loved how I could clean it with a pad brush and not feel like I am tearing up the pad like I would with a Rupes pad also.

If the 12 pack sale is still going on I would buy the entire set and just try them Brandt. Trust me, you will love them. Probably my favorite pad at the moment.

Yellow is a polishing pad.
Blue-heavy cut
Maroon-med cut
Yellow-polishing
White-finishing

I can`t find any fault with the Rupes yellow or white pads. So far they have held up very well. I rarely use the blue pads, so no comment on them.

I love the low pros on my g21
They hold up well, can`t say that for my.boss pads
