Arbor-Mount Buffing and Polishing Pads

Fit these pads onto your polishing tool’s arbor to smooth and shine finished surfaces. They’re often used to remove flaws from surfaces with paint, gel coats, and other lacquer- or resin-based coatings. These pads are washable and reusable.

Arbor Mount


Pad with 1 Polishing Side (Front)	Pad with 1 Polishing Side (Back)	Polisher Arbor Extensions

Arbor-mount pads thread onto your tool’s arbor.

1 Polishing Side—Pads with 1 polishing side mount directly to your tool.

For Polishing—For smoothing and light repairs, use pads for polishing.

Foam—Foam pads are more delicate than wool pads. They leave fewer swirl marks, but they’re not as good at smoothing burrs or scratches.

Polisher Arbor Extensions—Use arbor extensions (sold separately) to add up to 9" between your polisher and pad.

Shank Adapters

Quick-change connector-mount pads are easier to swap out than arbor-mount pads. Thread the required adapter (sold separately) onto your tool’s arbor just once. Then you can snap the pads on and off the adapter. These pads have a waffle pattern on their face that distributes polish more evenly than flat faces, which helps prevent swirl marks. Polish sits inside the square grooves, so it’s less likely to sling or splatter while you buff.

2 Polishing Sides—Pads with 2 polishing sides can be flipped for a fresh polishing side. They require an adapter (sold separately).

For Cutting—Use pads for cutting at the beginning of your process to remove heavy oxidation and deep scratches.

For Finishing— Pads for finishing are for the final touches on your workpiece, since they leave the fewest swirl marks.

For Polishing—For smoothing and light repairs, use pads for polishing.

Foam—Foam pads are more delicate than wool pads. They leave fewer swirl marks, but they’re not as good at smoothing burrs or scratches.

Polisher Arbor Extensions—Use arbor extensions (sold separately) to add up to 9" between your polisher and pad.

Buffing and Polishing Pad Assortments

Keep a set of pads on hand to cover every step of the buffing and polishing process. Use pads for cutting at the beginning of your process to remove heavy oxidation and deep scratches. For smoothing and light repairs, use pads for polishing. Pads for finishing are for the final touches on your workpiece, since they leave the fewest swirl marks.

These assortments include both foam and wool pads. Foam pads are more delicate and leave fewer swirl marks than wool pads. Wool pads are better at removing deeper defects than foam pads, but they will create more microscopic marks.

Swap out one pad for another in seconds—they mount to your backup pad using hook and loop. Their back is recessed to cover the edge of your backup pad, preventing it from scratching your workpiece.

Quick-Change Buffing and Polishing Discs

A special fastener on the back of these flexible discs allows you to easily swap one disc for another to apply lapping pastes and buffing compounds. Use with a backup pad (sold separately) on grinders for bits and burs.

No-Mess Buffing Wheels

The abrasive is already embedded in these nylon mesh wheels so you don’t need messy polishing compounds. Mount to an unthreaded spindle. Grit is approximate.

Wheels for straight spindles require flanges (sold separately).

Buffing and Polishing Pads

Smooth and shine coated surfaces, whether they’re clear, gelcoat, lacquer, or resin-based. You can quickly attach and remove these pads from your backup pad with the hook and loop backing. All are washable and reusable.

For Cutting

Foam


Flat Pad	Waffle Pad	Flat Back	Recessed Back

Use pads for cutting at the beginning of your process to remove heavy oxidation and deep scratches.

Foam—Foam pads are more delicate than wool pads. They leave fewer swirl marks, but they’re not as good at smoothing burrs or scratches.

Waffle Pad—Pads with a waffle pattern distribute polish more evenly than pads with a flat face, which further helps prevent swirl marks. The polish sits inside the square grooves, so it’s less likely to splatter as you buff.

Flat Back—Flat back pads are firmer than pads with a recessed back, so they are durable enough for use with random orbital polishers.

Recessed Back—Pads with a recessed back are used with standard rotary polishers. The pad material covers the edge of your backup pad to prevent it from scratching your workpiece.

Polishing Bonnets

Elastic

Smooth and shine the surface of your workpiece. These bonnets are gentler than buffing and polishing pads, so they’re used for the final finishing steps. They fit over the backup pad on your polishing tool. Order a bonnet that’s one size larger than your pad.

Polyester Fabric—Lambswool and polyester bonnets are slightly more abrasive than terry cloth bonnets. They’re often used for buffing out light scratches and swirl marks from compounding. Use a bonnet cleaner to remove buildup on lambswool bonnets to extend their life.

Pad Holder

Universal Clutch

Plate

Also called pad drivers, these are required to hold pads in place.

The clutch plate is universal, so it attaches to most buffer/scrubbers. These pad holders are not for use with larger machines. See Brushes for Powered Floor Sweeper/Cleaners.

Also Available: Pad holders with other clutch plates. Please ask for 7561T999 and specify machine make, model, and base diameter.
