RUPES Blue Coarse Rotary Compound is a professional-grade, high-performance polishing compound specifically formulated for automotive paint correction and detailing. Designed for use with rotary polishers, this powerful compound effectively removes severe paint defects, including deep scratches, heavy oxidation, and sanding marks, while providing a high level of gloss. Its unique formulation makes it the ideal choice for restoring paint surfaces in need of aggressive correction. BigFoot abrasive compounds are the result of in-depth studies and research and consist of high quality abrasive mixes, all silicone free.
Primary Use:
- Used for aggressive paint correction, targeting severe paint defects such as deep scratches, heavy oxidation, and sanding marks (P1500 or finer) from automotive paint surfaces
Alternate Uses:
- Can also be used on other painted surfaces, such as boats and motorcycles, and on various clear coat types, including ceramic and scratch-resistant coatings
Why Choose RUPES Blue Coarse Rotary Compound Over Competing Products:
- Powerful cutting action for rapid removal of severe paint defects
- Balanced formula that minimizes micro-marring while providing a high level of gloss
- Compatible with a wide range of rotary polishers and cutting pads
- High-quality, professional-grade product trusted by automotive detailers worldwide
Product Longevity:
- The longevity of the effects achieved with RUPES Blue Coarse Rotary Compound depends on factors such as paint type, environmental conditions, and proper maintenance. With appropriate care, the improved paint condition can last for several months or longer. However, a follow-up polishing step with a finer compound is recommended to achieve optimal results.
Directions for Use:
- Ensure the paint surface is clean, dry, and free from any contaminants or previous polishing residues
- Shake well before use
- Apply a small amount of the compound to a clean, coarse foam cutting pad or a RUPES Blue Coarse Wool Pad
- Set the rotary polisher to a medium-to-high speed (approximately 1500-2500 RPM)
- Spread the compound evenly over the surface with the machine turned off to avoid sling
- Start the rotary polisher and work the compound using overlapping passes, applying moderate to heavy pressure
- As the compound begins to break down and clear, reduce the pressure and continue working until the desired level of defect removal is achieved
- Remove any residue with a clean, soft microfiber towel
- Inspect the surface and follow up with a finer polishing compound, such as RUPES Yellow Fine Rotary Compound, to refine the finish and enhance gloss
Finish and Residues:
- The RUPES Blue Coarse Rotary Compound is designed to deliver fast cutting action with minimal residues. This heavy-cut compound effectively removes severe paint defects, such as deep scratches, heavy oxidation, and sanding marks. After using the RUPES Blue Coarse Rotary Compound, you can expect a significant improvement in the paint surface, although a follow-up step with a finer compound or polish may be necessary to achieve a flawless, high-gloss finish.
Best Practices:
- Always work on a cool, clean surface in a well-lit area
- Choose the appropriate coarse foam or wool pad for the paint type and condition
- Work in small sections (2x2 ft or smaller) for better control and consistent results
- Use the least aggressive method to achieve the desired results, starting with a test spot to determine the best combination of pad and compound for the specific paint surface
- Regularly clean and maintain your polishing pads to ensure optimal performance and prevent the buildup of excess compound
- Follow up with a finer compound or polish to refine the paint surface and achieve a high-gloss finish
Dilution Ratios:
- RUPES Blue Coarse Rotary Compound is ready to use and does not require dilution.
