Buying Guide: Buffing Pads, Polishers and Detail Supplies

Wool and Foam Buffing Pads
The Fast Cut Wool Pad (7 in. x 1 in.) is used with Turbo Cut or Finish Cut for a faster cut. The Finish Cut Wool Blend Pad (7 in. x 1.5 in.) is for one-step buffing, since it cuts and finishes in one pad. The Foam Polish White Pad (8.5 in. x 1.25 in.) suits softer paints, and the Foam Finish Gray Pad (8.5 in. x 1.25 in.) is for paint that is very soft or sensitive.

Polisher Kit and Backing Plate
The 12 10-Piece Mini Polisher and SSR Kit Combo has a low profile and small pad footprint for tight locations, and it is used for scratch and swirl removal. The Velcro backing plate has a 5/8 in. arbor, so match that to your buffer, and it holds Velcro pads firmly.

The 4 in. round applicator pad is yellow foam for hand application of detailing products, and the buffing apron is purple and protects clothing from compounds, dust and debris. The multi-fiber detail cloth is blue and measures 16 in. x 23 in., and the Rymplecloth purified cheese cloth comes as a 100 pc. roll. The Detailing Cool Kit has 10 pieces.
