I purchased a used Rupes 15 and I am trying to find a thread discussing the use of Wolfgang products with Rupes foam or microfiber pads. Can anyone provide me the right combinations of Rupes pads with the Wolfgang Uber, Swirl Remover and Finishing Glaze? Is there specific rationale in...

I just heard about these, and the prices for these are 25% cheaper. I know the pads used with my old GG6 work pretty well. I wonder how these compare directly to the Rupes? Obviously, they were designed specifically for it versus many of the other pads out there. Thanks for sharing this.

That makes sense to me as ergonomics are critical to any tool's weight balance, and therefore fatigue. I see the blue microfiber pad more often than the yellow one. How does the large throw affect the use of a microfiber versus a foam pad? I only have experiences using foam pads. Are...

Hi. Just bought a used Rupes 15, and I need to invest in some pads. What are the opinions about pads? Is there really a difference using a Rupes pad versus an LC or other? I want to be wise with my money, and can use some experienced users' help. Thanks.

I'm not sure if you ever provided another area for learning more about carpet or upholstery cleaning, but I am interested. I know that AG Forum is excellent, but there are still other areas for learning. I appreciate your approach, and recognize the chemistry involved with stain removal.

As I thought about this more, is there a guide as to what to use based on determining a soft paint or other? Once I do a test spot, how do I know what dials to turn to start moving me towards the results I want? I hope this isn't too elementary.

Thanks so much. This is a great place to start. It is important to understand the medium you are working with. There is so much information on the materials we can apply, but understanding the paint itself seems critical to detailing excellence.

After reading several different threads, it appears that understanding the paint that you're dealing with is paramount. Is there a thread or some good teaching on the various paints (and/or processes) used by different manufacturers? I'm trying to understand "what I am looking for." Once I...

http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/images/smilies/agree.gif Wow. I used to wear out that vinyl. I read that he really loved playing with that team, and it really shows on that song. I need to YouTube it now! And...to stay true to the thread ... that will be the song that I'm listening to.

So, the general consensus seems to be to buy a newer DA while it is still early and I don't make too many investments in accessories for a very limited DA. At this point in my process, is there any value to keeping the GG6 GEN1, or shall I just sell it to invest money elsewhere? I think...

Thank you for the feedback. I've already ordered the Meguiar's product. It makes sense for now. Hoping to do some work this weekend. :xyxthumbs:

Thanks for the advice on the pads and product. If you see my photo below, this GEN1 version isn't threaded. But, it's ok. I will work with what I have. I will just need to learn the limitations and 'dangers' of the 6.5" pads.

Is there any reason that I could not modify a 5.5" plate to the 4-screw design???

I am trying to attach a photo of the plate. You can see the 4 screws. This design limits the plates that you have mentioned, unless there is another way to attach them. Thanks again for the feedback.

I was told that you can't use the smaller pad because of the limitation of the backing plate. The GEN 1 product holds the backing plate with 4 screws (not the industry standard single center screw). I spoke to GG customer service over the weekend and they confirmed that they did not offer...

Thank you so much. I just went through the article and it makes sense. I can't wait to try it with the Fuzion. I have already had more people comment on my car after claying/Fuzion. With the GG polisher, I wanted to try some additional correction and then wax. However, I was thinking...

I'm a newbie and I was wondering if you can apply Wolfgang Fuzion with DA polisher? I love the product, but just got a GG 6" DA polisher and thought I could only use a liquid polish.

Can I use the machine for a wax like Wolfgang Fuzion? I am a newbie and I thought that the machines were really only for liquid polishes.

She has several marks that are right down to the primer. Knowing her, I'd say that she created them scraping snow off of the roof (and other spots). Done before I met her :)

One of my issues is that this original GG 6" can only be outfitted with a 6" plate. That eliminates the 5.5" option. This Gen1 GG uses 4 screws to hold the plate. They've since changed it to the more standard single screw.
