Rupes Claw

Keep your polishing pads ready for the next section with the RUPES BigFoot Claw Pad Tool. This handheld accessory combines a pad-cleaning brush with a shaped tip for helping separate a pad from its backing plate, making it a handy addition to your polishing setup.

Details

• Dual-purpose pad-cleaning and removal tool
• Bristle brush for loosening residue from the pad surface
• Shaped tip to help lift the pad’s edge
• Sold individually
• $20 each

How it works

The brush helps loosen accumulated polishing residue from the pad’s working surface. The shaped tip helps lift the edge of the pad from the backing plate so you can remove it without pulling on the foam or wool face.

How to use

• Switch off and unplug your polisher, or remove its battery, before handling the pad.
• Gently brush the pad surface to loosen residue. Avoid excessive pressure.
• To remove the pad, carefully lift its edge with the tool’s tip, then peel it away while supporting its backing.
• Follow the pad manufacturer’s cleaning instructions afterward. Brushing does not replace a thorough cleaning.
