Buffing Pads
BUFFING PADS & POLISHING PADS
Buffing pads or polishing pads come in a variety of materials including Microfibre, Wool and Foam Cutting, Polishing and Finishing Pads.
Choosing a car buffing pads can be a little daunting if you haven't used any before. To keep things simple, we would recommend 2 or 3 pads from the same manufacturer with different "cut levels". This will give you everything you need to remove 80% of car swirls and light scratches in an easy 2 to 3 step process. If they have matching compounds, even better.
What should I choose? Foam Pads, Microfibre Pads or Wool Pads.
- Heavy Cut = Microfibre & Wool
- Heavy / Medium Cut = Microfibre, Wool & Foam
- Finishing = Foam
- All will create a lot of dust if overloaded with compound
- Harder paint recommend going for Microfibre as it will save you a lot of time
- Soft paint you will need a foam pad to finish regardless of what you start with
- Beginner, regardless of paint hardness, stick with Foam
- Wool if you are a professional, as they can get messy and if clogged won't work anyway
- Longevity, foam is more likely to fall apart quickly if the pad is cheaper or mishandled. Microfibre and wool can wear down becoming less effective over time.
