    Introducing the Uber Flat Foam Buffing Pads

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    We would like to introduce our new Uber Foam Buffing Pads.

    Well how did this come about:

    Since I have been selling polishes, pads, and polishers I have been getting that one question:

    Customer: What pad do I use for this polish?

    DD: I would then ask what mfg is the pad?

    Customer: I'm not sure or 3m or maybe LC or maybe meg's etc...

    So I started to do some research:

    I searched all over the web and found nothing really besides colors that would indicate what step you would use. For newbie and oldies alike I still got the question.

    Solutions:
    Well we still have colors but we decided to stamped the step on the pad so now we have the orange pad and the step medium polish on the velcro pad and so on, this should help everyone out a bit more.

    On top of that I personally as well as most of you all like low profile pads, I have made the 4 inch and 5 inch a height of 1 inch.

    As well as that we recessed the velcro to help prevent the velcro from damaging the paint.

    Check out how they look:

    The step labeled on the back (4 inch pad shown)


    1 inch thick (4 inch and 5.5 inch)


    Recessed velcro backing (blue pad shown here)

    Note: All our polisher kits will now include these 4 pads.

    The whole purpose of this is that the colors don't matter.

    The blue pad will basically do everything you need it to do.

    yes as a user I was thinking to myself why in the world to I need 7-8 different pads.

    I only use wool for compounding

    1 for med polish

    maybe 1 for polish

    1 for final polish

    since I use swissvax I don't really need a last step pad , unless I'm doing work with a liquid wax like Adam's or sealant like FMJ or Glanz.

    orange pad is comparable to the orange LC CCS pad for heavier polishing. most people use that one in conjunction with SIP.
