About this deal
Each microfiber pad is designed to be paired with a compounding formula (specifically Meguiar’s) to buff away moderate scratches without too much of a mess. The machine-washable feature makes the polishing pads even better for businesses and DIY home detailers who are interested in reusable options. Wool polishing pads are rougher than foam pads with a superior cutting effect. They are generally made from synthetic or natural wool fibres and require a lot of skill to use and maintain their condition. Lambswool has the highest abrasiveness and is therefore ideally suited for removing the effects of severe weathering, deep scratches and sanding traces. They are optimally suited to working with heavy cut compounds. Our review team found that the optimal RPM range for compounding is between 1750 to 2500 RPM. However, the optimal RPM range for finishing is between 1200 to 1750 RPM. We recommend making sure you use a drill, polisher, power buffer, or angle grinder that can support the following speed ranges for the most effective buffing job. Buffing Pad Care Durability : By design, polishing pads will be less durable than buffing pads. Buffing pads are meant to be rough and abrasive, to an extent, while polishing pads are all about softness and light touches. We experienced some loss of wool fibers throughout our testing process. What Customers Are Saying Each year, we test over 350 auto products on vehicles and in our testing lab. Our team of product testers thoroughly researches top products, unboxes and puts our hands on each component, and tests the items on real vehicles before making recommendations to readers.
Even without some kind of machine or power polish unit, users can still rely on microfiber pads to rub in polishes and sealants. This set of polishing pads from Polyte comes with six discs that are all equipped with an elastic band for wearing it on the hand. This one is a nice upgrade in power compared to the older porter cable unit,” began one customer. “On the high setting, you can really remove some paint defects with it. You cannot replace the rotary polisher but this one removes a lot more defects than the previous model… I'm impressed, and that's coming from a cynical professional detailer of 15 years. Excellent for those holograms you can't get out near the end of your polishing process with the rotary.”
