> 3 dayI am not sure why people do not read the directions listed and not exceed the limits of the pad with excessive RPM speeds. I used this on about 60sf of concrete countertop. I used a Harbor Freight polisher with digital readout and maintained 3000 RPM with 50 Grit, 100 Grit and finished with 200 Grit. If you let the polisher do the work and keep the pad level you cannot even notice any wear on the pad. I even swapped it for the second new pad and could not tell a difference. I am very impressed with these pads and would purchase again, but I think these will last a long time. You can dry polish up to 200 Grit and it suggest wet for 400 and up. My countertop is feels glass smooth so I did not see a reason to polish higher grit.

> 3 dayBacking pad was missing. Probably due to the box being ripped open and the sanding disk all out in the package

> 3 dayThese things work great. I used these to polish my concrete countertop and they were perfect for the job. The lower grit pads I did use with water and I’m glad because they did were out pretty fast and I was glad they sent 2 of each. The higher grits worked fantastic with a little water and provided a very smooth surface

> 3 dayThese pads were great! I had to polish several edges of 3cm granite for some bathroom vanity tops and they worked great. I assumed this kit was ready to mount on a drill but I soon realized it the foam pad doesnt have a mandrel. You need either a grinder/polisher or be sure to purchase the drill adapted when you buy the kit. I bought an angle grinder and a router speed controller (to slow the grinder down) for this project. Here are some tips I learned: 1. Make sure the pads are centered! Off-center pads cause uncomfortable tool vibration. 2. Take you time & be thorough. I realized after I installed the piece that I had missed a thin strip. Tough to see outside, but you can see the dull reflection under lighting. 3. Tape off work section. This helped me stay within the limits of the work area and ensure I was polishing the entire work area so I didnt miss anything. 4. Take a milk jug and poke a pin hole about 1 inch from the bottom. Fill with water. Direct the small stream of water onto the work area. Move jug as needed to keep area wet. Overall I was very happy and the pads still look brand new. Based on how often I will use them, they will probably last my lifetime. Most of my friends couldnt tell the factory edging from my work so I was happy about that!

Greater than one weekSoon after I ordered this product I got a friendly email from the seller indicating they would ship it right away and What you buy is 11+1 Pad, and you will get 13+1, since we have attached 1 more Grit 400 800 as EXTRA FREE GIFT to you. Nice of them and I appreciate the gift. Unfortunately, when I received the product and tried to use the 50 grit, the pad literally wore out in minutes. I had to switch back to the original (which I was going to throw away) just to finish the job. The original pads came with a SECCO WVPOLSET 4-Inch Variable Speed Wet Polisher Kit. The original 50 grit had at least 20 minutes of heavy use and lasted another 15 minutes. The new 50 grit pad was worn out in 5-10 minutes.

> 3 dayThe pads work well I have polished about 20 tiles and they are still going strong. It seems like the pads may out last the hook and loop attachment. Also you need to make sure you have a variable speed grinder or polisher. The ratings are 3000 rpm for the dry pads and 4500 for the wet pads.

> 3 dayI installed my own granite tile countertop and used these pads to polish the cut edges. Worked great. Make sure you use water when you get to the finer pads when polishing granite. I used these with a 4.5 angle grinder, connected to a speed control to keep the RPMs down.
