These SPTA buffing pads are excellent for car detailing. The variety in the kit allows me to cut, polish, and finish with just one set. They fit perfectly on my 5" backing plate and hold up well under pressure. After a few uses, they’ve shown minimal wear and deliver consistent results. Whether you're removing swirls or applying wax, these pads get the job done efficiently. Great value for the price!

I used to buy these buffing pads individually, but now I’ve found a whole box for one low price—such a great deal! The quality is just as good, if not better. They work amazingly well, and I love that the set includes different grades for different types of polish. Super convenient and effective. Highly recommend!

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.

My real rating would be 2 1/2 stars, as I like half of the product. I'd been using Bauer pads for many years until they went away, so I tried these. I like the softer polishing pads as they seem comparable to others I've tried, and they work well, but the harder, course cut pads not so much. In my opinion they are too hard, and they don't give me the cut that other pads I have used with the same compounds (Meguiars). Thickness and fit are fine. I can't speak to real longevity yet, as I find myself choosing to use other pads most of the time. I'd not buy them again.
