I love my rupes pads but i`ve come to the conclusion their very hard to use on vertical panels unless you have a lot of skill. On a flat horizontal panel rupes rule the roast. But on vertical panels you want a pad that has less surface area so for us noobs the pad won`t stall so much.

I will be sticking with my 3 inch orange carpro pad the rest of the year. The 3 inch yellow rupes pad is too big and i don`t have so much control of my machine. Its a very big difference in diameter.

disclaimer: this is all on a G15 and G8.
