    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.

    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.
