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

Using these in the proper order is good, if you have them available. If the advertised aggressiveness of the pads had been accurate, that would have been greatly helpful. Based on what I have determined, here is my conclusion. The colors were in order from hardest to softest, Yellow, Blue, Orange, Black, and then White. This was after several months of fighting holograms and swirls, I decided to go by my own personal feel, and I am glad I did. This review is only 4 stars due to the incorrect advertising and wasted time trying to achieve a result that satisfied me.

As in lake county / groots. As a professional detailer, I am well versed in cleaning. There's something I love about It is almost as if they perfect the spreading of the compound or polish you use. As for the design, I recommend them highly, the little cubes cut so well I cannot say enough good things! You can use it for corrections or Added them next to the Lake County pads and Griots pads because they're so pretty The day has come. Aside from that, they are extremely affordable. My experience with them has also been better than any other pad I have used. Cleaning these can be achieved with a high powered air gun and some cleaner sprayed on. Five stars out of five.

I am a 3M certified auto finish professional and I had to replace them after only 10 minutes. The most common reason I replace my standard go-to pads with these was that so many people liked them so much. After only 10 minutes of use, this happened. I bought them to do low speed polishing. There is a nice cross pattern on the pad, which is useful when applying. In the past few weeks, I've tried contacting the company with no response. As a result, I am prepared to try again, however, this sort of failure has been very disappointing. In any case, I stopped immediately using the pads and switched to my fallback pads that are more expensive, but do not melt when cranked.

So I could do paint correction on my truck in one day, I bought two sets. As well as the lamb's wool pad, I ordered a porter cable towelling pad. It cuts real well with compound when using the yellow pad. The Griot's G9 RO Polisher I used wasn't much of a problem. It's a really powerful machine that doesn't burn up The motor of my air compressor was used to blow old compound out of panels and to polish them. In total, I used two yellow, one blue, and two black, as well as wool for the About 4 hours were spent on three steps of the correction (composite, polish,.

It is a 1995 Catalina 250 Sail Boat Top Side White Gel Coat that I am carving through. Almost like sand paper, the surface of the piece has oxidized badly. Meguiar's 105 and 110, as well as Flag Ship Wax, are my preferred products. In general, the 110 stays wet longer, but both 105 and 110 are remarkably similar in cut. As long as they do not need to be cleaned, these pads can run for a long time without being cleaned, and they can handle a lot of pressure, which is what I need in order to bear down through the oxidation I am battling through, but they do not come apart. *If you are looking to have a pad that will hold together well and keep cutting with constant cleaning, these are a great choice. *Bring them to a dry surface after cleaning, I had the back of one come off because it was a damp surface. The steps to apply BAD Gel Coat were as follows StarBrite Deck Cleaner, Muratic acid (dangerous stuff be careful) can be used to remove the lime deposits from our limestone-filled lake. After cleaning, rinse the water If you use the Deck Cleaner with patience and a terry cloth rag you can remove some oxidation, however it takes a while, but it works in spots that are hard to reach with a buffer. For the buffer, I have used the 79 dollar DA buffer special from Bauer Harbor Freight. The buffer is a beast, which means you can lean on it and it just keeps taking all If you are using Yellow or Orange Pads, I recommend dripping 110 on to the surface, then using a small tooth brush to rub it in. The Compound should be worked into the Gel Coat, even if that sounds strange. Once that has been done, set your DA to speed 3 and then land the buffer pad on the surface next to the area to slow it down, then go into the compound you just tooth brushed in and go slowly with strong two arm pressure and work across the surfaces. 90% of your cut pass will be completed this way as all the material has been brushed into the surface and is working in full pressure and slow speed, which I have found to be very effective. I finally realized that it is important to bear down on the buffer to get the compound to cut efficiently. If you follow these steps, you will be amazed at the results. The Gel coat was gone and anyone else would have sanded it with 3000 grit sandpaper, but that wouldn't have been safe. In the case of compounding, you should leave the clean, good gel coat alone as it has a tendency to stick to oxidation. You should begin to see some sparkle now, and once you have done that wipe everything down with a micro fiber rag, then by hand rub the Marine Wax into the surface making sure to cover all the shiny gel coat that has just been You do not have to worry about it drying a bit. use a buffer at 3 to 4 and moderate pressure to buff the surface, allowing the luster to permeate until the surface shines like a mirror. At first, you might want to put some pressure on this since the Marine Wax has some capability of removing oxidation. This will smooth out any marks the compound left, and can still get rid of some micro spots caused by oxidation. Next, I like to finish with very little pressure, speed setting three, to buff the finish to the desired final shine (use the You should check it out. I apologize for the long post, but I want to share how I got through a lot of high levels of oxidation (more than 15 years into it) with the PADS and the Meguiars products.

The two pads appeared great in the package and I was looking forward to using them, but after using them twice (two cars), one pad has obliterated and the other is on its last legs and unusable because there's an imbalance between the two. As a result, I will look for a more durable choice.

If you spin these things 5,000 RPM and do not press them against the vehicle, the only way these things will obliterate themselves is if you use them at a ridiculous speed. It has a variable speed selector of 1--I have never used it before but I inherited a Makita buffer with a variable speed switch I believe most of these people who are having problems have been using body grinders that are able to hit 8,000 RPMS, while many buffers tell you not to exceed 3,000 RPMs. The older buffer I believe only goes up to 2,500 RPMs. I turned my buffer down to the lowest setting and then used a hose to spray all the water and compound out of the buffer and it worked like a charm. I got fantastic results with the most aggressive pad, and it was extremely easy to clean. I am very pleased with these pads, I only wish I had bought them years ago.

There are 5 pads that can be used on different surfaces, so you can use it wherever you are. I will be happy to help with more products if you have any. I am able to perform a better job on exotics, luxury, and family cars because of it.
