I wanted to try out Rupe's new polishes I own two cars, a 2013 Chevy Cruze (black metallic paint) and a 1994 Ford Mustang convertible (Rio Red). The paint on them is good; however, with the Cruze being a black car, it will show anything. What speed settings would you recommend for the...

I have a 1994 Mustang (owned it since new) and it still has the original paint. I recently polished it with a Rupes LHR 15 Mark III, with a yellow Rupes pad and Meguiar's M205 (using speed 3.5). I waxed it using a Rupes white pad on speed 1 with Meguiar's ceramic hybrid wax. I am amazed with how...

Thanks for all the information that has been provided. I will certainly never hold the DA in one spot for too long ever again. One other question I have since I plan on keeping this car for a very long time; if I do not get this repaired, will it eventually turn into a complete clear coat...

I was using a DA, I did not even think it was possible to do this with a DA. I was using Meguiar's 105 with a Rupes green pad. I was not even pressing down that hard, however, I did keep it in one spot too long.

I have been buffing my car for 20 plus years, and this is the first time I have burned through the clear coat. I saw a tiny scratch, and it was not coming out, so I held the buffer in the one spot too long. At first, this was a small mark, and I thought it was only compound residue that was not...

Would M105 and a Rupes green pad match up? I did read somewhere that the Rupes blue pad would be too rough for M105. I also use Meguiar's Ultimate Compound as well. I have read on here that the Rupes white pad can be used for waxing.

The only cutting pad I have for this machine at the moment is a Lake Country CCS - Orange, from my understanding the Rupes pads seem to work better with these machines. Before when I was using my Porter-Cable, I used orange for M105, white for M205 and black for wax (these were hex logic...

For Meguiars M105 would I use the green or blue Rupes pad? So far I have yellow and white. Thanks!

Hi, I recently purchased a Rupes LHR 15 Mark III, and I usually use Meguiar's M205 for polishing. Before, I had the Porter Cable 7424XP, and I was using a white hex logic pad on speed setting 4. I have purchased a Rupes yellow 'fine' pad since I have read that people say M205 works excellent...
