Cutting compound for the LH19E and other rotaries, paint-booth safe and suitable for any paint (OEM or refinish): fast cutting with a good finish.
Step 4 · Compounds and polishes. Every machine has its compounds: the D-A system for random orbitals, Mille for the gear-driven tool, Rotary for the rotary and the UNO line, which works on all of them. Formulated and bottled by Rupes in Italy.
The random orbital (LHR) spins freely and oscillates: no holograms, the everyday machine. The Mille LK900E is gear driven: the plate is forced to rotate, so it cuts more without losing the finish. The LH19E rotary only spins: it cuts fastest, with wool, for sanding marks and heavy oxidation, but needs an experienced hand and a refining step afterwards.
The colour tells the function: blue (Coarse) cuts, green (Intermediate) corrects in one step, yellow (Fine) polishes, white (Ultra-Fine) finishes and applies protection. Use the compound with the same name: D-A Coarse with the blue pad, D-A Fine with yellow, UNO Pure or D-A Ultra Fine with white. D-A wool and microfibre for heavy cutting.
D-A compounds are formulated for random orbitals and the Mille. For the rotary there are Rotary Coarse and Fine; for the Mille, Mille Coarse and Fine. The UNO line (Pure, Protect, Advanced) is universal and works on every machine.
It is the mini polisher for wheels, pillars, headlights, badges and interiors: it swaps in one click between rotary, 3 mm orbit and 12 mm orbit (SMARTFIX) and uses 30 to 75 mm plates, with a shaft extension to reach deeper. It complements an LHR; it does not replace it on panels.
Fast-cutting compound for long-throw random orbitals and gear-driven tools: removes defects quickly with a smooth feel on every kind of paint. Best with the blue D-A Coarse pad.
Fine polish with noticeable cut and an impressive finish: removes moderate to fine defects with random orbitals and gear-driven tools, without haze.
Finishing polish for dual action machines that gives maximum optical clarity and reflection, the last step before protection on dark and demanding paints.
Universal ultra-fine polish for every machine (rotary, random orbital or gear driven): removes the last defects and leaves the deepest gloss, with no fillers.
