Halfords Foam Pads (Hard/Medium/Soft)

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. What Customers Are Saying When attached to power tools, or even when used by hand, buffing and polishing pads deliver friction from wool, foam, or grit-coated surfaces to buff away moderate defects, aid in paint correction, apply wax or polish, or simply clean away dirt and grime.

Users can remove light to moderate scratches with this polishing pad from Lake Country. The single pad is constructed from a high-strength foam that creates hefty friction when spinning to remove damaged paint, clear coats, or built-up wax. It also features cooling technology to prevent overheating. For those unfamiliar, cutting paint may sound more damaging than effective, but it’s the key to restoring a car’s surface to its gleaming original state (or close to it). These pads use cutting compounds to wear down an ultra-fine layer of paint (or remnants of previously removed paint), helping clear up any haziness or scratches and revealing a clean, sparkling coat. Foam, wool, and microfiber pads can all be found in this pad category. Polishing Pads Polishing pads are made of several different materials and come in many diameters. These are the subcategories of pads and the materials you can expect to find for each purpose. Though colors may mean different things for each brand that sells these pads, there is no color code standard across the buffing pad industry. Compounding PadsOur review team found that the optimal RPM range for compounding is between 1750 to 2500 RPM. However, the optimal RPM range for finishing is between 1200 to 1750 RPM. We recommend making sure you use a drill, polisher, power buffer, or angle grinder that can support the following speed ranges for the most effective buffing job. Buffing Pad Care For clean buffing pads after a job, these can be soaked, wrung out, and used more than once. Some buyers used them to shine tires and others were able to utilize them as cabinet polish applicators. But first and foremost, they’re great for autobody buffing. Versatility : As this is a polishing pad-specific kit, it won’t be very versatile. Polishing takes place at the very end of the buffing process, meaning these pads are only useful for a small portion of said process.
