Buffing Polishing Pads, SPTA 5Pcs 6.5 Inch Face for 6 Inch 150mm Backing Plate Compound Buffing Sponge Pads Cutting Polishing Pad Kit For Car Buffer Polisher Compounding, Polishing and Waxing -SQMIX65

The pads were to too tough even for the one that was supposed to be for polish only

Pads are just as advertised

Normal

I did not use these pads in the correct way but with a little time and effort I come to understand that it wasn’t the pads it as lack of experience. Do your research, get knowledgeable with trail and error and understanding will become present.

Bought to clean up my girlfriends car, worked great, shipped fast!

I did not realize the importance of using the proper pad for rubbing compounds, polishing, and waxing. I would use the same pad with a rubbing compound and expect it to remove swirl marks. Work myself to death with poor results and then blame the compound. This pad set provides everything you need to remove minor scuffs and scratches from you paint so it will look like new. I have a 2004 truck that had light oxidation and I thought it needed a paint job. I ran across this kit and the results were astounding. I cant speak to how they hold up for a professional but, I can say they held up well for me. Watch a few videos to see how to use them properly and you will be pleased with the results. I used the Dewalt orbital sander with these pads; while misting with a water bottle and, while only using the compound. I say personal preference prevails here but, both methods are effective. Adding more compound and/or water before the pad dries with ensure they last. Also keep them clean for improved performance and longevity. Highly recommend the pads...and watch a few videos for technique.

I have Griots G9, and a Flag Blue gel coat on my boat. These pads worked great. I paired these with Jescar Compound, Mirco polish and Power Lock. Used the Heavy cut + compound after 1500/2000 grit wet sanding some fender rash. I didnt have a rotary polisher, thought I was going to be SOL....but worked great. Ran the DA at 6...no problems. Used the light cut on the polish. Used to finish with the Power Lock. No Holos. No swirl. Best results Ive had so far.... NO problems with durability. The pads have a nice little cross cuts in them that hold the polish. Totally durable...will easily last me 2-3 more rounds of polishing, maybe more.

Ignore the negative reviews of these things “Blowing Apart”. The ONLY way these things are going to nuke themselves is if you use them at some ridiculous speed like 5,000 RPM with them spinning freely in the air and not pressed against the vehicle. I have a much older Makita Buffer that I inherited and it has a variable speed selector of 1-6 and it tells you on the side that each speed is roughly “X” RPMS, I feel like all these people having problems are people who through these things on a body grinder that can hit up to 8,000 RPMS while manybacking pads SPECIFICALLY say to not exceed 3,000 RPMs. The older buffer I think maxes out around 2,500 RPMS. Extremely good results just using the most aggressive pad, extremely easy to clean, I just turned my buffer to the lowest speed and then hit it with a hose and let it fling all the water and compound off. Very very happy with these pads, I wish I would’ve bought them years ago!!!!

The pads fit my electric buffer very well. Changing pads is easy and quick. The different pads work well on different parts of my car.

My old buffing pads were worn out. Bought these as a replacement. I used them to buff and polish my daughters very neglected car. Lots of scratches and oxidation. Seven year old car now looks almost new. On one pad the glue failed and the pad separated from the velcro backing. I contacted the manufacturer and the sent me a replacement right away, no questions asked. These are keepers.
