Rupes UHS...

I think it was the advice of The Guz that taught me how to properly use it, but I`ve only used it a few times last year.
 
Well, if someone wants to give it a shot or replenish their stock, I`ll send it all to ya. 32oz bottle about 95% full, (6) 5" pads, only 1 used 3 times, others new. (4) 3" pads never used.

Very kind of you Budget. I recently sold off my 21mkII, along with some Rupes pads/gels. Kept the UHS stuff, though.

What about it didn`t you like?

Gave it a shot 3 times, hard paint, soft paint and probably 1 kinda in between and really didn`t do anything that I couldn`t get done with less `technique` using other things.

i.e. too lazy to learn how to use it well.

Came as an afterthought when I got into Rupes system last winter. Still like the Rupes yellow and white pads/liquids, have the blue as well but rarely use.

And tired of seeing 32oz bottles in my cabinet...why the heck I thought I needed 32oz bottles of things when I was just starting out last year and didn`t know what I liked yet was, uh, kinda a miscalculation on my part. Oops.

Got it. Will ship tomorrow and shoot you tracking info.

Thanks for the offer of stuff but I`m downsizing this off season!

Still gotta sort thru pads...can never have enough of those...shelf is full but sending off UHS clears 6 spots in my last `organized` container.

Selling any pads from your stock XD has could use more Rupes pads

Glad I didn`t try them. Rupes, yellow, white and megs mf cutting discs, uro fiber, work for me.

It worked nicely for me the few times I tried it; it was just kinda redundant with some other things I have acquired since that work more `naturally` for me. Can take a bit to get used to the UHS pads...first time I used it, man...did it make a slinging mess of polish. I`m still working on my technique with the Rupes and while I`m pretty good with microfiber and the yellow and white pads, the stiffness on the UHS pads was making a mess due to my current Rupes inadequacies.

Can pretty much get the same, quicker results on a variety of paints (especially softer/stickier ones) using Scholl S20 black and their blue/purple/honey spider pads if`n I`m in heavier one-step territory. Lighter one step for me is better accomplished with Sonax Perfect Finish w/ yellow rupes. Like I mentioned above, still not the great with Rupes and throw some thick, firmer pads at me and it becomes comedic in short order.

I can never have too many pads, aside from the UHS...I love `em all as far as Rupes go. The yellows are especially versataile and on soft paint like a Subaru, the white pads/polish do a nice job of eeking out that last bit of shine.

I might get rid of my Rupes blue pads/compounds but already spoken for...

It looks like you`re just about dialed in system wise! I`m still trying to find mine. From what you said above---I`m beginning to find the same thing as you are!

I`m intrigued with the Scholl S20! I will check that out next year! I really like the Sonax line too...

Again---Thank you very much for the UHS system!

I like it a lot! Really saved my hide on the 1931 Auburn!

At first, I didn`t like the UHS system. Thought it didn`t cut all that well. Had to re-read everything on the system, and lo behold---if done right, really works well. So yes, there`s a learning curve to the system. But once you grasp the concept/system, a really nice product.

Ahhh. Makes sense.

I can be too lazy sometimes. other times, just not enough cars to try things on! And other times...no time. :(

Seriously. I sometimes wonder why I bought 32oz bottles of some of the products I have. Let alone, gallons of some stuff! Oh well. Like you, I`m doing some cleaning as well.

hehe.. more than most on here, I guess? I liked it enough NOT to include it as part of my Rupes 21 sale. And I ended up buying a 32oz bottle in addition to the smaller one I already had.

I agree. I didn`t like it initially then I figured out how to properly use it (directions? ha). My problem was I went out and bought other stuff and different pads so I have kind of just all but forgot about the UHS stuff short of when I open the pad drawer and see those pads. I will give it a go on my next 1 step just for old times sake. I spent enough on all the pad sizes I might as well.
