Product Information

Meguiar's DA polishing power pads are accessories for the Meguiar's DA Power System Tool G3500 that are designed to help to remove light swirls from your car. This can restore the glossy finish of the car paint. This set includes two 4-inch diameter foam pads that allow you to reach nearly any surface of your vehicle. You can wash and re-use these pads and use them to polish or apply wax. Durability : Buffing pads are designed to be used more than once, but this isn’t always the case. Buffing pads that came with pad cleaner, are machine washable, or at the very least are reusable scored best in this testing category. Versatility : One of the most important characteristics of a buffing pad is how much of the buffing process it can effectively work for. Kits with numerous different applicator pads for buffing, cutting, and polishing scored highest in this category. The Viking car care microfiber applicator pads consist of soft microfiber material. They're great for applying wax, polish, and protectant evenly on surfaces. These buffing pads are safe and gentle enough to use on both the interior and exterior of your car. With only a 5-inch diameter, these pads will reach smaller surfaces of your car and are easy to hold. Uses less product: Unlike a towel or other applicator, a buffing pad uses less polish, which can save you money.

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. Warranty: You may want a buffing pad with a warranty included by the manufacturer. This may help guarantee the quality of the buffing pads and protect you if the product is faulty.Durability : By design, polishing pads will be less durable than buffing pads. Buffing pads are meant to be rough and abrasive, to an extent, while polishing pads are all about softness and light touches. We experienced some loss of wool fibers throughout our testing process. What Customers Are Saying Quality : Arguably the most important characteristic of a buffing pad is its quality. The material makeup of the pad, whether the pad left scratches, and the effectiveness of the pad during the buffing process were all taken into consideration.

Versatility : This buffing pad kit was one of the most versatile that we researched or tested. With seven different pads to choose from, our review team was able to do everything professional detailers would be able to do – from removing severe scratches and oxidation to spreading glazes and sealant across a sensitive paint finish. Buffing pads are circular tools to polish paint and other hard materials, such as metal. They're most commonly made of foam, wool, or microfiber. Some pads are meant for manual use while others attach to power tools. They can also be useful in applying wax or sealant. Quality : This buffing pad kit has some of the highest quality pads that we tested, second only to Chemical Guys buffing pads. We don’t think you’ll have any complaints about the quality and effectiveness of these buffing pads. Surface paint: Consider the paint on the surface you're going to be using the buffing pad against. There are different buffing pads that manufacturers recommend using for clear coats, dark paint, etc. Applies product evenly: Buffing pads have a unique design to distribute wax, polish, and other finishes evenly on a surface.Each year, we test over 350 auto products on vehicles and in our testing lab. Our team of product testers thoroughly researches top products, unboxes and puts our hands on each component, and tests the items on real vehicles before making recommendations to readers. Durability : While we had little to no concerns about durability during and after the testing process, these pads were just shy of obtaining a perfect score for this testing category. The inclusion of buffing pad-specific cleaner is the only reason why these buffing pads don’t have a 5-star durability score. These pads are machine washable but should be air-dried. What Customers Are Saying Flexibility: You may need more or less flexibility in your buffing pads depending on the curves and edges of the surface you want to use the product on. A flat surface is suitable for rigid pads, but the surface of your vehicle requires a pad with flexibility. Buffing pads aren’t designed to be used once and then thrown away. Even if they were, it would be relatively expensive to do so. If your buffing pad comes with a dedicated pad cleaner, like Chemical Guys’ buffing pads do, then you simply need to follow the company’s instructions. If not, you may need to machine or hand wash your buffing pads. The Chemical Guys hex-logic medium-heavy cutting pad is 6 inches in diameter to help cover more surface area and is more efficient than smaller pads.
