Very fast delivery, well packaged, appear to be a quality product, have not used them as yet, priced reasonably.

These work very well and hold up for multiple use. I was able to obtain a mirror image polish which you can read the print and see the ridges on my finger print in the reflected image.

As a beginner its hard to choose the right product and tools, these pads have been working amazingly to detail and do paint corrections on my vehicles and my boat. They are very easy to clean, switch out and they have lasted me for a long time.

Great set of buffing pads that takes it from start to finish. The only short fall is that they should include a card or markings to indicate cut levels

I am carving through a 1995 Catalina 250 Sail Boat Top Side White Gel Coat. The oxidation is so bad it looks like sand paper. I am using Meguiars 105, 110 and Flag Ship Wax. The 110 stays wet longer but both 105 and 110 cut the same pretty much.These pads have the ability to run for a long time without cleaning and take a lot of pressure which is what it takes to bear down through the oxidation I am fighting through but they do stay together. Be sure they are dry after cleaning I had the back come off one but I know it was damp and my fault.If you want a pad that holds together well and keeps cutting with constant cleaning these do just that.My steps for BAD Gel Coat were 1. use StarBrite Deck Cleaner, Muratic acid ( dangerous stuff be careful) for the lime deposits from our Limestone heavy lake then rinse thoroughly. The Deck Cleaner with patience and a terry cloth rag can remove some oxidation but it takes time however works in bad spots that are hard to get the buffer in. I am using the Bauer Harbor freight 79 dollar DA buffer special. Its a beast, you can lean on this buffer and it just keeps taking the punishment. Once you have your Yellow or Orange Pad on I prefer to drip the 110 on to the surface then use a small tooth brush to rub it into the oxidation. I know this sounds strange but you will be sure to work the Compound into the Gel Coat. As soon as you do that put your DA on speed 3 which is pretty fast but land the buffer pad on the surface next to the area to make it stop spinning then walk into the compound you just tooth brushed in and go slowly with firm two arm pressure and work across the surface. You will do 90% of your cut pass with this since all that material is brushed into the surface and working at full stuff, full pressure and slow speed which I have found to be really effective. I finally realized that you have to bear down on the buffer to get the compound to cut effectively. You will be amazed at the results if you follow these steps. My Gel coat was gone any one else would have got out the 3000 grit sandpaper but that is risky. Compounding seems to have a tendency to stick to the oxidation so you leave the good gel coat alone that has been cleaned.Finally after you are starting to see some sparkle wipe it all down with a micro fiber rag then by hand rub the Marine Wax into the surface being sure to cover all the shiny gel coat you just compounded. Do not worry about it drying a little. Now put your buffer at 3 to 4 and use moderate pressure and buff the surface and keep going until you see the incredible shine come through. Putting some pressure on this at first is a good idea since the Marine Wax has some oxidation removal ability which smooths out any marks the compound left and can still take some oxidation micro spots out. I like to then finish with very little pressure speed setting 3 to final super buff the finish ( same yellow pad). Its awesome.Sorry for the long post but I am sharing how I got through a lot of heavy ( 15 years+ worth) of oxidation and these PADS and the Meguiars products got me there.

These SPTA buffing pads do a solid job for the price. They’re great for light polishing, compounding, and waxing, and the variety of colors helps me keep track of which pad I’m using for each step. They fit perfectly on my 6-inch buffer, and the foam has a nice texture that delivers a smooth polish.The downside? Durability. After just a few uses, the edges started breaking down, especially when doing more aggressive work. If you’re a weekend DIYer, these pads will get the job done, but pros might want something more robust. Treat them gently, and they’ll last longer. Overall, they’re good enough for casual car care.
