The details
RUPES DA Fine Microfiber Polishing Pad
The D-A FINE Microfiber Polishing Pad for Dual Action polishers, are specially designed for the removal of moderate defects, swirls, haze and holograms on fully cured paint.
Specialized microfiber material bonded to a semi-flexible foam backing allow for better control and contouring over varied panel shapes with an ideal balance of cutting and finishing ability.
Combined with RUPES D-A Fine Compound, the D-A Fine Microfiber Pad delivers quick removal of moderate defects and a high degree of finish quality on most paint systems.
Tips for Success:
Prime the pad by applying a thin, even layer of compound to the face before the first use
Reload the pad with small amounts of compound, typically only a few drops. Over-saturating the pad with compound can lead to diminished performance
Clean pads frequently during use with compressed air, a vacuum, or RUPES Claw Pad Tool to maintain consistent performance
After use, clean with warm water and a mild soap, rinse well to remove residues, air dry
Best use on factory-applied paint
Not recommended on fresh paint.
Not recommended for use with rotary tools
Apply up to 30/45 second cycle time in an area no larger than six times the pad diameter
Use minimum two pads per vehicle, swapping in 15 minutes intervals

Choose & use with care
Select tools around the area you are working on: bodywork, glass, wheels or interior trim. Follow both the tool and surface-care directions.
For backing plates, pads and powered-tool accessories, compare size, attachment and compatible-model information. Similar appearance is not proof of a match.
Use a clean tool and the method described for that item. Test suitability discreetly where the product directions recommend it; no tool is advertised here as universally scratch-proof.
Follow the instructions supplied for the exact product. Features, limits and care directions are specific to the selected model.
Order preparation takes 1–3 business days, followed by 3–4 business days in transit: 4–7 business days in total. Standard shipping is free to the contiguous United States and DC, with no minimum order.
Request a return within 30 calendar days after delivery. We pay return shipping. After receipt, inspection and initiation of an approved refund take 5–7 business days.
Before you decide
No. Choose for the surface and intended use stated on the specific listing. Follow the supplied care directions and do not assume a brush intended for wheels is suitable for every painted surface.
Check the listed diameter, attachment and compatible machine or backing-plate information. Size and fit variants are shown within the relevant product rather than treated as interchangeable parts.
Use the options and measurements on the exact product page. Photographs can look different across screens; available choices are limited to the options actually shown for that item.
Check the selected product’s description and included-parts information. Accessories pictured in a use scene are included only when the listing says so.
