Rupes Polisher Time Lapse Video - 1955 Ford Crown Victoria by Mike Phillips

Mike, do you think the larger stroke of these machines could in anyway be detrimental if using them to apply a glaze, wax, or non abrasive paint cleaner type product compared to using a traditional stroke DA for the same task?

Of course I could have knocked the wax out of the jar and then applied the wax to the face of the Rupes foam finishing pad I was under a time crunch.

I find this to be the easiest way for me. I actually just turn my fuzion container upside down and leave the block in the lid. Then when I am done I just screw the base back on and leave the jar upside down. Then each time I open it, its ready to use.

Hmmm....

Depends on what's in the glaze. Historically a true glaze is non-abrasive but now days everyone and their brother use the word glaze to label all types of products.

Generally speaking, I think you're safe to apply any of the items you listed with any of the Rupes polishers when using the Rupes soft, white foam finishing pad.

As soon as you start to change to more aggressive pads then it's a case by case, or product by product scenario and paint softness or hardness woujld also be a factor.

That's when you do a Test Spot before buffing out an entire car.

First time I used RUPES 15 and 21 to buff out whole car.
