Product Information

Buffing pads are similar to fine sandpaper, in how they remove dirt and give an even, smooth finish to surfaces. If you're applying polish or wax to a surface, it's wise to use buffing pads because they are absorbent, flexible, and provide a protective layer between your hand and the surface and material you're applying. Quality : Arguably the most important characteristic of a buffing pad is its quality. The material makeup of the pad, whether the pad left scratches, and the effectiveness of the pad during the buffing process were all taken into consideration. This buffing kit from Chemical Guys comes with different pads to fit the needs of various surfaces. This product includes a cleaning solution to wash your pads with after each use. It's recommended for beginners to car detailing and provides a beautiful finish for your car. You can attach these buffing pads to a power tool or use your hand to apply polish. Quality : All of the pads included in this kit were extremely high-quality. Even after we finished buffing and polishing our testing vehicle, these pads seemed to be in superior condition to any other that we used. Removes scratches: Buffing pads are most effective in removing defects from surfaces and they are more efficient than applicators such as a towel.

Buffing Pad Care Durability : While we had little to no concerns about durability during and after the testing process, these pads were just shy of obtaining a perfect score for this testing category. The inclusion of buffing pad-specific cleaner is the only reason why these buffing pads don’t have a 5-star durability score. These pads are machine washable but should be air-dried. What Customers Are Saying Uses less product: Unlike a towel or other applicator, a buffing pad uses less polish, which can save you money.

Durability : Even after we had fully buffed out our testing vehicle’s bonnet and utilized the kit’s foam polishing pads, all of the pads in the kit seemed to be in surprisingly good condition. Furthermore, the inclusion of pad cleaner ensures you can continue your car care longer than if you didn’t have pad cleaner.
