Chemical Guys BUF_HEXKITS_8 Hex-Logic Buffing Pad Kit, 6.5", 8 Items

If you're low on pads, this is a great value when you need a little bit of everything.Keep in mind a single pad is going to be hard pressed to do a large job all on it's own, but this will let you try out all the Hex-Logic pads at once to see how well they perform, so you can decide which individual pads you will want in the future.The pad cleaner that it comes with is CONCENTRATED, meaning you'll want to dilute this with water or use it in a small bucket as a pre-soak. If you let your pads sit long enough for all the compound to cure inside the pad, a pre-soak is necessary and this cleaner does a good job. FWIW, you shouldn't let your pads get to that point anyways.As I said this gives you one of everything.Yellow - Heavy Cut & Levelling pad, for use with heavy cut compounds for severely damaged surfaces.Orange - Medium Cut & Heavy Polishing pad, for use with medium compounds & one-step products on damaged surfaces.White - Light Cut and general purpose polishing pad. This is probably the most versatile and well-used on good/decent paint.Blue - Pure polishing pad for use with All-in-One cleaners and glazes, will remove light imperfections and is a really good glazing pad.Black - Extra Fine finishing pad, use this with glazes and all-in-one cleaners on black/dark paint, or paint that's in extremely good shape and/or new. I personally like using this with glazes on new paint that have a sealant built in, or for use with pure sealants and cleaner-waxes.Red - This is the finest of them all, used for the very final application of wax and/or sealants. You can use it for glazes, too - but those will be more effective using the blue or black pads.And finally, the green pad - a cross between white and orange. This pad is extremely versitile and is a great all-around pad for less-than-perfect finishes. I wouldn't use this for final polishing out a black car, but it has the ability to polish out oxidation without cutting, like the orange pad. It was actually designed around ceramic and extra-hard paints that a white pad can't quite correct, and an orange pad can diminish.If only they offered this kit with the ability to choose each of the 7 pads...

This is a great starter kit, for anyone who likes to detail and it lets you try it all at once. My husband uses these with his porter cable buffer, and loves them!Pads are meant to work on flat or rounded/angled surfaces, this well keep your pads from falling apart. Also it is a concentrated cleaner so you must dilute it.Yellow Heavy Cutting Pad - Use this pad to apply compounds or polishes to remove severe oxidation, swirls, and scratches in conjunction with a polishing compound. It is the most aggressive and should only be used on oxidized and older finishes. Always follow this pad with an orange pad and a fine polish and then a white pad to refine the paint until it is smooth.Orange Medium-Heavy Cutting Pad - This firm, high density foam is ideal for scratch and defect removal. The orange foam offers the correction of a typical compounding pad while at the same time allowing the polishing ability of light cut foam pad. When used with heavier compounds it will remove moderate swirls and scratches with little or no haze. It s an all around pad that will work on most light to moderate imperfections. Green Heavy Polishing Pad - This pad is used by Mercedes Benz at OEM level and is designed to be used with a random orbital polisher (like the Porter Cable) It produces less spot heating and has a unique compression/load/deflection ratio which means it conforms quickly to contours. It is a high strength foam with 60 pores per sq. inch yet is softer and more forgiving than our regular foams which have 80 pores per sq. inch.This pad is tough enough to remove swirls and scuffs while at the same time producing a high gloss swirl free finish. This foam is also ideal for applying one-step cleaner waxes. It is a balance of polishing and finishing that is perfect for all-in-one product application.White Medium -Light Polishing Pad - Less dense foam formula for the application of waxes, micro-fine polishes and sealants. This pad has very light cutting power so its perfect for pre-wax cleaners. It is the most well used pad as it is ideal for application of pre-wax cleansers as well as many finishing polishes such as Pro-Polish Or FP-Final Polish.`Blue Glaze & Cleaner Foam Pad - Unique Composition complements all glazes and light surface cleaners perfectly delivering a super fine finish for use with ultra fine polishes life FP or any glaze.Black Finishing Foam - Composition is firm enough to withstand added pressure during final finishing to remove buffer swirls. It has no cut and will apply thin, even coats of waxes, sealants, and glazes.Red Perfection Pad Ultra Fine Finishing Pad - This pad has a ultra soft composition for applying refined paste waxes and sealants as well as crème waxes. Flat pad provides full contact with paint surface to minimize the pressure applied by the user.
