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.

Pads for finishing are for the final touches on your workpiece, since they leave the fewest swirl marks.
Lambswool—Wool, acrylic/wool, and lambswool pads are more aggressive than foam pads, so they’re better at removing imperfections. However, they create more microscopic marks on surfaces.
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.

For Finishing— Pads for finishing are for the final touches on your workpiece, since they leave the fewest swirl marks.
Wool and Acrylic/Wool Fabric—Wool and acrylic/wool fabric pads are more aggressive than foam pads, so they’re better at removing imperfections. However, they create more microscopic marks on surfaces.
Polisher Arbor Extensions—Use arbor extensions (sold separately) to add up to 9" between your polisher and pad.

No-Mess Polishing Bob Assortments for Soft Metals and Nonmetals
 |
Keep multiple shapes, sizes, and grits on hand to polish soft materials without any messy compounds. These bobs are embedded with silicon carbide abrasive, which generates minimal heat to reduce material buildup. That makes them best for polishing soft materials prone to clogging, such as aluminum. All cut fast and with light pressure. Use them to polish small areas and hard-to-reach spots with a drill or grinder for bits and burs. Grit is approximate. Labels in the lid include our part numbers, so it's easy to replenish the assortments.
