These pads are great for finicky paints. I have yet to find a paint that I can’t finish down on with these. They’re ever so slightly less aggressive than the Lake Country orange HDO pads but more aggressive than a finishing pad. They’re that in between that can be so hard to find sometimes. Slow the speed down to 4 with Sonax Perfect Finish on your DA and they’ll practically jewel paint as well as a rotary and an ultra soft finishing pad. Bump up the speed to 6 and they can make an awesome one step with Perfect Finish. I also noticed that for some reason these pads seem to spin a better easier than other foam pads. The beveled edge is also great for tighter spaces and you’ll be surprised how that shape lets you work without constantly switching to a 3 inch polisher. I’ve had a set of these for well over a year now and they’re also very robust. The foam is definitely of very high quality and very resilient to numerous heavy uses.

Great to use with some Menzerna or Rupes Fine DA polish. Takes swirls or fine scratches out with no fillers or silicones. ❤️

These pads seem a little stiffer then the old style, but my old pads are well used. The velcro circle is more of a perfect fit to the rupes backer.
