RUPES Best Pad Ever - Scott Goes Crazy!!

[@willoverkill]

Scott needs a cigarette after this one!

[@GeorgeRalls]

Scott, I’ve learned so much from you over the years. I’m a retired baby-boomer who uses a walker. I with your help, keep my car immaculate. I don’t have a DA buffer/polisher. Doesn’t make sense for a two times a year user. You’ve done a great job with clay bar, interior how to’s. I would really appreciate a video on how to remove superficial scratches (clear coat). My car is black and you well know how they show any flaw. “Detailing your car on a budget.” A how to for people on a tight budget or physically challenged, I believe would be thankful. Link clay bar, interior, glass videos you’ve already done etc. into a series. Take care.

[@Wayne_de]

Ssshh. Scott is having his moment. do not disturb.

[@jaysmoke3132]

LOL Think he needs a smoke after that? Just kidding luv u Scott.

[@TheCeki1982]

LOL! Great answer.

[@horseshoe8678]

Never thought I'd see scott cracked out. Especially on Rupes 😲

[@ianjackcleanyourmachineinc2510]

Never seen you so giddy, hilarious. My wife just commented that I'm going to go buy that wool pad now. Lol smart girl. Thanks Scott I'm excited to see the results I get from it.

[@bekiro28]

Best title to this video you can put hahaha" scott goes crazy " Scott is like will stop someone passes thru there and let me polish your vehicle just for fun because i found my old best friend hahaha

[@Caradonia]

😂😂😂 This must be the best feel good video of the year so far! 'Yee Haa'.

[@hallmarksdetailingllc8078]

Thank you for your review Scott! Your check is in the mail.

[@Tigersmundo]

*Scott, something funny I just bought the last one listed on Amazon 5.75" within one hour from you posting this.*

[@RB54DaBears]

I would've loved to see Scott's neighbors reactions through this video. "Well Margaret, that Scott fellow has finally lost it" jk, thanks for sharing scott. Keep up the good work brother.

[@mhherr]

EASY PEASY!!! So glad I found this video and the other on DA polisher comparisons. Recently purchased a 6" LTDA polisher on Amazon for about $80. I have a 2022 Subaru Outback sold new in December 2021, which was new to me in June (it was a dealer-loaner vehicle). It was time to put a wax job on the car, and I started watching videos on pads . . . all of which is rather confusing to someone who isn't really interested in actual paint "correction", but in keeping the paint/clear coat in good shape to begin with. Ordered a couple of the Rupes wool polishers and waited for today's cloudy morning. After getting the car washed, I was able to wax all but the roof (the sun had just broken through) in about an hour with a light application of Meguiar's Ultimate liquid wax. The result was just what I was looking for! Completely slick finish -- the difference was immediately noticeable between a polished panel and the next one to be polished -- with plenty of shine. Next up . . . my wife's 2018 Subaru Forester.

New Yorker officially becomes a Texan YEEEEHAWWW 😀

[@eddiefoy3701]

Not until he goes HooRahh'in

[@danlc95]

When the bottle of polish falls down and rolls away.... Hahaha! Scott, thanks again for the review. I've has these pads recommended to me before.

[@DagoRuiz]

Hey Scott, great video! I can't wait to try this pad, thank you for sharing. I watched one of your older videos on the Greenworks 1500 Power Washer. On the video you mentioned Undercarriage Detailing. Do you have a video on this topic? If not, could you share your methods for us? Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us Bud. Love ya.

[@jessemoreno9250]

Scott finally I've never seen you so happy ☺ even when you discovered super clean or other products believe this is going to make your jobs a lot easier great video take care of yourself it's really great to see you so happy ☺ my friend take care !

[@giovanniromeo8454]

Great video Scott! I think they problem with detailers today is they want instant Gratification and don’t have the patience to put in the work to achieve That flawless shine We are all chasing. And not to sound old but back in my day it didn’t matter if it took 10 steps to get that perfect deep glossy shine, we’d put in that work we were dedicated to the process because we weren’t satisfied until it truly was perfect! You my friend have that fire in you 💪🏼it’s nice to see someone go above and beyond in their research in order to prefect the process. You truly love what you do.

[@sacooper802]

this pad is amazing, just tried one with meguiars 105 cutting compound, wow no haze, no swirls, no holograms, nothing but glass in just one step using 105 cutting compound, wow im amazed. this combo will get you into one step process if done right.

[@user-pg5vf4yr7e]

yes wool is best for scratches and cleaning with compound. Foam pad is more for shining for last step.

[@alexisamtosta]

Excellent video Scott. What a help you are giving me pal.

[@georgemyers6518]

I like all of Rupes pads. So far I really like my recently purchased Rupes LHR15 mark III polisher. I do agree that wool pads are for more productive without all of the heat buildup

[@jaysmoke3132]

Such a passion in what you do. Outstanding video. Thanks for sharing all you do... Will it work ok with an 8mm throw? What speed?

[@jaysmoke3132]

Guess he did not like my smoke comment.

[@senjtrumbo]

When we use our hearts in to anything we do God will always reward us with joy, enjoy his joy and the hard work this man shows us. God bless you brother and I always laugh and enjoy your videos thank you for sharing with us your technique and your zeal towards detailing and paint correction. God bless you my friend !!

[@kendo411]

Scott, you are a champion of men. Also glad someone else likes wool pads and knows how to use them, thank you

[@shameite74]

Only crazy people like us get excited over DA pads! I bought a few and I have to say, I am loving them also!!!!!!!! Thanks for the heads up on these! These have a little drag compared to foam pads but they are so much more fun and do produce more shine than a orange lake country foam pad. Possibly a little better cutting also from what I can tell on my black Camaro.

[@pooneyheat]

I'll definitely be getting a few of these pads now! Thanks for the video Scott!

[@JosesGarage101]

Hi. I find at least where to buy that pad and the description says: Rupes Wool Polishing Pad Coarse is a lamb wool sweater for removing rough scratches on hard varnish when polishing. Provides a visible result quickly on very scratched surface. Wool is used for highly scratched surfaces on hard-painted surfaces. After using wool round and coarse rub, a finer round pad and a finer rubbing / polishing agent are recommended, for best results in several different steps. Available in several sizes.

[@akaredcrossbow]

Now that is how I like to buff paint!! Move fast, aggressive have fun instead of falling asleep plus having a heart attack from ADHD because it’s taking too long but the OCD won’t let me walk away. Imo a wool pad is so much better than foam pad! I would rather use a rotary all day long than a DA. Brings back memories of the good old days of slinging compound with a rotary buffer and that wool sticking to your sweaty face breathing the wool in your nose with that annoying tickle that would always come back, when your black clothes are now a crusty dusty beige, the taste and crunch of compound, washing the car multiple times just to get rid of that compound! Good times, good times!! I know how you feel!🥳🥳🙃

[@PleeTao]

it's a real pleasure to see you in this mindset ;) ok ok you convince me, i'll get a try on this one. so thanks Rupes, and thank you Scott for your honesty as usual.

[@Vbanwarie]

Hi Scott, how would you compare this pad to the rupes coarse wool pad(BLUE)?

[@ZombieFeathers]

Thanks Scott, I've been getting really sick of microfiber pads, especially cleaning them

[@danlc95]

It's such a pain in the dick..

[@j1nftw1n]

Any tips for cleaning wool pads?

[@mattshoemaker670]

Jeffrey it’s called a spur. Hard to explain but type in wool pad cleaning brush

[@NODAK9]

danlc95 Best comment!! Haha

[@adamserres12]

Scott you rock! I agree 100% I have been detailing cars for 26 years and the only machine I have ever used is a variable speed Makita rotary. You can feel it just as you say there is a sweet spot and you are making love to the paint.

[@angiemichael5009]

Love it!!! I've got a wool pad never used it! Its coming out on the weekend! Can't wait ;)

[@J1Z06]

I have a few DIY DETAIL wool pads. I'll have to pick up a few of these to add to the collection.

[@bobsgarageFL]

LOL found his best friend, LOL

[@mustardpikachu3597]

😏😏😏

[@kenlawton1531]

Your enthusiasm is contagious😜

[@TripleGAutoDetailing]

Scott - You are a trip!! "make love to your paint..." Question: What makes this pad better / different than other wool pads?? Keep the videos coming.

[@j1nftw1n]

subbed and watched a bunch of your vids and wanted to say thanks for all the knowledge and insight! Would I expect to see any type of results if I used this pad with a short throw Griot DA?

[@VictorHernandez-nt3tw]

Hey Scott. Does it still work well with a short throw DA? Nice video btw. I love how excited you were.

[@ricks.8522]

if passion was the same thing as snow, you would be a walking blizzard ! Ha ! : ) I love your work

[@DaveRod831]

Is the Maxshine wool pad on the same level as this Rupes pad or completely different feel and result?

[@williammercer394]

SCOTT you've gone bat shit crazy!😨 and I love it😄☝️🤙👍

[@purushaonezeroeight165]

Fantastic working the sweet spot. So to speak and you shared that. Awesome you are. For all the info on your vid’s Not just the super one about the. Rupes pads and how fantastic they are. A thousand thank you’s

[@xxzmaniaczxx]

Thank you, Scott ! :)

[@midnightmystery544]

Thank you Scott. Crazy as ever! Gotta love you!

[@romanjohnston]

I cut my teeth in paint correction with wool pads a few decades ago. Agree 100% it teaches you correction like nothing else.

[@TheFudily]

Have you tried the "Lake Country Pre-Washed Low Lint Lambswool Pads" yet? If not, could you and give us your comparison thoughts?

[@richardseem7948]

great video again. I love those pads.ive been using lake country low lint wool pads 4 my long throw.thanks again

[@masterspin7796]

If your viewers knew what I had to endure in the late 1970's to the mid 1980's would never pick up a "Rotary buffer" and try to polish a car again...we didnt have youtube and mainly one style of polisher, single speed 3000 rpm and heavy Black and Decker...I didn't get my Makita "2 speed" untill 1984..I also didnt see a foam pad untill 1986 40 years later and my job has become easier....

[@chrisroberts9197]

Scott, would you recommend this pad to a beginner? Or is this pad for the more advanced? Im one of those beginner car enthusiast type thats fairly new to the detailing world in general and thinking about getting my feet wet in paint correction. Just nervous about picking up a da.Mostly because i just recently bought truck that just happens to be the nicest vehicle I've ever owned and want to keep it that way. Have learned a lot from your channel and have watched nearly every one of your videos

[@TheGamd7]

These pads are great for beginners

[@1Baseyoutubification]

Chris Roberts Xejdjdk

[@williamarden5441]

Get a used hood from a junk yard and try playing with it. It will give you a good feel if how pads cut and such

[@bigd9848]

Easy to please give you a good pad and you will definitely be busy. I like your drive and thanks for this tip.😎

[@davidbrown-55]

I think Scott may need a moment alone! Boooooom! Great vid

[@Sam-kw9wd]

now i know what scott does to his long lost friends. 😂 Appreciate you sharing your passion with us scott! getting one of those asap! :)

[@rizocars6115]

Making love to the paint 🤣🤣🤣 this man loves what he does

[@MasteringHow-To]

A rotary with a wool pad is amazing. That’s how I started out 15 year’s ago. Dewalt rotary with a wool pad!

[@m-ok-6379]

Now going to pick these up for next summer on my ride after the new england winter.

[@jc7879]

Completely agree. This pad is magical. I've used this on two correction jobs and all I needed was a one step. Leaves a very good amount of gloss.

[@luxurymicrofiber419]

Now that looks fun. Another great video Scott.

[@aaronwright2650]

I’m a novice in detailing and I’m using that Rupes wool pad on 15 BigFoot, it is fun, but I have to polish the surface like 3-4 times to see some result on the grey paint

[@samvish6363]

Maybe a hard paint step up to a coarse compound or the blue wool

[@k.wright3664]

Scott I love your videos! Do you still feel the same way about this wool pad 2 years later?

[@ignaccsoke1577]

Hey scott how are you? What speed should we be using for each stage. Compound - polish - wax and sealent or all in one? Aswell what brand do you recommend for a heavy cut compound? Thank you!

[@ms3er396]

IMO Lake Country Purple wool or now blue wool are by far better. I wouldn't use them on a non-forced rotation buffer though, use microfiber on those. Put them on a 3401 or Mille and you will correct even the very worst swirls nearly perfectly in 3-4 passes depending on your arm speed. Use CarPro Clear Cut as the compound and you'll see nearly LSP Ready paint. Final polish goes by just amazingly fast. The downside to wool is dust as regardless of product the pad will dry and release product more than a foam pad system. That said, Blue Wool and ClearCut is my go-to combo for tough corrections.

[@heinvanbuuren8761]

It seems to be great stuff Scott ❤

[@HeadsUP253]

Scott is in his own zone right now That was 2yrs ago, but im sure he still is enjoying the pads until this day ! Scott are you using those wool pads to remove defects & wrinkles out of your significant partner as well?

[@SiamakRH]

My question is what wool pad should I use for my 2010 Camaro. I am not sure how hard the clear coat is. Should I go with the aggressive wool (blue pad) or just medium yellow. My car doesn't have deep scratches. I am not expert in buffing but have experience working with 7 inch rotary polishers. Thank you for your help.

[@euricogomes9904]

Rupes its just like that! Amazing! You should try the machines too🇮🇹❤

[@firemanrh]

Scott, what speeds are you cutting at? Spread the product around on 3, then you ramp it to what? Sounds like 5? Is that correct? Thanks for the great video!!!

[@TheBennynyc2]

Will this pad work with flex 3401 ? Also what’s the best way to clean the pad between passes, compressed air?

[@vrodxvrodx]

Your comparison about the standard shift is a good analogy.

[@barthill9578]

Back in the day we used big wool pads at high speed, but I don't see them sold anymore. You get great results but if you don't know how to use the machine you could very easily burn the paint of the edges.

[@sladeoriginal]

Scott, I have large dings and scratches in the white painted plastic/rubber door trim. Any recommendations on a fix?

[@squaredaway798]

Scott, you have officially gone off the deep end but you know what you convinced me! I'm coming with you. LOL great video

[@Belle1337]

Hello Scott, What are your thoughts on using this pad with sonax cutmax as a first step, then use rupes yellow foam pad with perfect finish as a second step on soft/medium paint? Thanks in advance ☺️

[@noel3466]

Better than meguires cutting disc ? & is this wool pad only used for compound ? Can it be used for polish aswell ??!

[@theycalledhimfred17]

I detail at a car dealership and I ues something similar by a company called xtreme. It a purple synthetic wool. Works excellent with heavy compound straight to a wax and foam pad. The paint just glows.

[@markbutcher2734]

Hey Scott - will this be ok on a Griots machine? Great, great video!

[@Butterffinger5678]

Make Loving the Paint Great Again.

[@frankm8533]

That's it I'm buying one. If Scott says it's good then it's good!

[@medqenmedness229]

Hey Scott, in this example, we don't need another stage of correction? I mean I get it tis a high quality wool pad but dont we need a soft pad to remove swirls??? A paint can be glossy and shiny but when you look closer like in 15 cm its swirly...

[@izkytama]

Agree use foam pad for polishing, there is marring or a bit swirl left from this wool pad..MF pad is less but u must clean often

[@eduardomijangos6446]

Would this pad be good on the Harbor Freight DA? Or do I have to go buy a long throw polisher such as the max shine?

[@oloem268]

🤣🤣🤣....I won't buy one of your machines but you've created one of the best puds.

[@tooldemoguy]

Scott, I would have loved a before and after of the clear coat thickness! Consider for future video??

[@markbutcher2734]

Scott - just ordered the Maxshine 15mm based on your excellent video review. Also bought a bunch the Rupes 5in wool. I decided to keep my Griots 6 inch and convert it to a 3inch for small areas. If it does not work well, I'll get the Swirl Killer in 12mm. You keep getting stars in your heavenly detailing crown for all you do!! Thanks a million Scott!!

[@johnnyblaze522]

Greatest explanation ever 👍

[@thomas181212]

Hey scott. Can u one step with this pad like with perfect finish or something else? And what about a aio product? Or u still need to do a 2step after this? Ty scott for these amazing videos !

[@chrisslideshow]

hi Scott I was wondering what ypu use to clean and protect convertible tops thanks love all your videos

[@robertosticca597]

Wow ! So fast and fun. I wonder how it would work with HD SPEED? My current favorite. Where’s the best site to purchase and what sizes they come in?

[@garethwatkins8854]

Awesome, really enjoy your videos

[@chadluke1039]

LOL BEST VIDEO YET!! LOL😂 Don't correct my car I want it to keep it's innocence. 🤣 I just broke out my wool pad and rotary on a 12 yr. old black Mazda a couple of months ago. Don't have a crisis on screen though Scott you tube may block your channel! It makes sense though, wool pads are great. In the words on the great Ric Flair WOOOOOAH!

[@billmercado3004]

I use wool pads in rotary for paint polishing this awesome wool pads look great I can wait get one

[@TomSommer]

Scott my wife is cracking up in the Kitchen listening to you. LOL

[@shameite74]

Foam and microfiber gets very boring and monotonous to use due to the very slow movement you have to do. I have got to try this! I wonder how well Griots fast finishing cream does with this pad? Will you have to finish with something else or can this be a one step on dark paint? What is the part# for this pad? I just stumbled across you this week and you are more realistic to the trade which I have also learned to over time even though this is a side job for me on the weekends. There are no ideal situations in this trade and the learning curve is always changing as new products are produced over time. By the way, I DO use Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish on glass and it works really well. I have never tried it on tint though! It is one of the most universal products out there. I will be trying it in the engine bay next to make cleaning them easier on the next go round! LOL

[@cl-audio322]

What level of paint correction would this be appropriate for when considering least aggressive method to get the job done? Thanks.

[@RiceGrainz]

Scott, you have too many good recommendations. I don't know how I can remember them all...

[@texfromro]

This is the exact reason I use for the last couple of months the Flexipads ProWool pads

[@Carlos.Rivera]

If this pad make the process more faster like you did on that panel, im sold

[@Gunnvulcan]

Dude, i bought a blue and yellow pad from Obsessed Garage as soon as he got them and tested them out on a junk hood. Ive used lake country, hex logic, megs microfiber, rupes foam and urofiber pads trying to find what i'm comfortable with for getting my own detailing business up and running. The yellow rupes pad felt so smooth on the paint, it was like spreading whipped cream, it felt amazing to use. I absolutely love them and am going to buy many more.

[@cjburn2758]

Scott how is the vibration of these pads on a long throw machine? I do not do detailing for a living. When I do paint correction, the vibration of the machine (griots garage) kills my hands. I deliver bottle water for a living, and its way easier on the arms and hands than paint correction with a da. I find it silly since I move 8-10k pounds of product every day.

[@antoniskonstantakis5474]

You are 100% correct,,,,hello from greece

[@bobbymorgret]

Hi Scott, I was wondering if you would do a video on Spider Pads? You said in another "pad" video that you would talk to us at a later time about the specific circumstance when you use Spider Pads. It would be greatly appreciated Scott! Thank you, I'm a big fan. Robert.

[@CountyCorral]

Lol “all the angel wax boys” 😂 to funny

[@Antimatter.]

I’m a noob here but want to polish out some swirls on a white car , can you give part#s on this DA and wool pad , also need a good recommended polish ! Thanks I’m subbed
