My new toy arrived today

Food for thought, with smaller stroke machines you need to have some pad rotation when doing correction. The thicker and wider the pad (relative to the stroke) the more rotation needed to counteract the pad's characteristics of absorbing the orbital motion.

With large-stroke machines such as the RUPES, pad rotation (while nice) isn't necessary. Most of the polishing action comes from the friction created by movement of the orbit.

Ummm, whoa!

So, you're saying that if the pad never rotated on the Rupes, you'd get the same correction as if it did rotate?

The one thing about the Rupes on getting results. Act like you have an egg between the pad and paint. Once you get that feel the machine does the rest.
Pressure like the PC and Griots should be discarded.

It's the same as racing in the rain. Pretend you have an egg between you and the pedals. Once that is your process the rest is control.
