TCP Global 8" Green Foam Buffing Pad Final Cut Polish Hook and Loop Backing - Buffing Pad for Automotive, Marine, Truck, RV & Compound Cutting

It removed 90% of the small scratches, with a scratch remover compound. Then with a ceramic polish it looked amazing

1st Pic is After I washed. 2nd & 3rd Pic is After Wash, Tape, Claybar, and Compound. I had not waxed the truck yet.Excellent Quality All Colors are great and work as they should.I bought them to return the shine back to my old faded truck in 2019 and again This year. They are excellent, work great, and go on with ease with the velcro. Very nice Buffing Pads. They mad such an impression on me in 2019 that when i needed to buff my old truck out again in 2024 i searched through my purchase history in 2019 to get these again.The BLUE Medium Cut Pad paired with Meguiars Ultimate Compound is enough to bring back a mirror reflection. My paint was so messed up that there were no reflections and when you run your finger across my white truck my finger would be white. My paint just looked flat and almost matte. Meguiars Ultimate Compound i use because its Idiot Proof. It Will Not Burn Your Paint if you don't know what you're doing. I'm no pro but i know enough to get the right compound and pads and get the job done with my limited knowledge. Tape off anything black as most, Compounds, Polishes, and Waxes will leave a white stain on just about anything black.Restoring faded paint is simple. Wash the vehicle, Then Claybar (i use Meguaiars Clay Bars) to remove anything you cant wash off. You'll be amazed at how much stuff the clay bar picks up. After you wash you can run your hands over the paint and it'll feel rough - thats bc you have things imbedded into the paint like little metal fragments that other cars tires are shooting into your paint - you do not want this present when buffing as you'll cause damage. Tape everything off, then buff, then wax.So Wash, Claybar, Tape, Buff, Wax, and DONEI don't notice much difference when using a Polish after the Compound. The Meguiars Ultimate Compound is excellent and gives me the results i want. It also leaves a bit of oil behind for nice reflections and kind of a wet look. I also do not use a Wax per se. I use a Sealant. Meguiars Sealant 2.0 - which lasts a long time. 4-6 months and double that of a wax which will last me 4 Months in the brutal sunny hotter Months here in Texas and the cooler months it'll last for 6 months.If i just keep it waxed every 6 months the results from buffing out the paint will last. If i don't wax the paint will look good for about 2 years. This time was the 3rd time i've buffed out the paint in 11 years bc i wont stay on top of the waxing which only takes 20 minutes every 6 months. I'm determined to do so this time.

I needed new foam pads for my Makita buffer and these fit!

Good polishing pad for not much money. The key to using it successfully is to choose the correct product to pair with this pad to do the most correction within the pad’s limits. Light polished/swirl removers seem to be poor choices for this pad when I used it. I found it worked better with heavy polishes or compounds.

Great

Lo use en 3 ocasiones, y hace muy bien el trabajo de Pulitura. Use pulitura 3M corte fino.

Good

I ordered three -7" pads,in all the finishes, because the description said .... fits 6"-7" velcro backing pads, and I have a 7" backing pad. Then I received the e-mail shipping confirmation and it said, 8" pads, so I did'nt know what I was going to show up at my door. Well, I received my order today and lucky for me they were for the 6"-7" velcro backing pad.I just freaked a bit when I got the confirmation. TCP is about the only ones, that I've seen, that tell you what size backing pad that the polishing pad fits. It only took 4 days to get here,and I have to tell you these are very good pads.I like the way the backing pad sits down inside of the pad. The foam is high on the sides so you can get into tight spots with the buffer. You don't have to worry that the edge of the backing pad will rub on the paint. These are a few good points about these pads. The actual flat area of velcro on the pad, were your backing pad sits, is only 6 1/2" in dia. but because the inside edge of the pad is coved ) a 7" backing pad will work, but its a little snug. I have'nt used them yet but I'm sure they will perform OK.
