What Does It Do?

These pads clean and shine metals such as aluminum, steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, titanium, and others. Rust, corrosion, and minor scuffs can be removed with the coarse pad.

Works well for buffing off boot markings on frames and swingarms, or touching up previously finished parts. Also useful for achieving a consistent brushed look on larger parts.

Includes

• 1 Hand Sander
• 3 Fine Grade Pads
• 3 Coarse Grade Pads

Specs

• Available in 3" and 5" sizes
• Fine pads are equivalent to 400 grit

These pads are made from a nylon strand material that is embedded with resin and an aluminum oxide abrasive for optimal stiffness and abrasion. 

How To Use

Buff by hand with these pads, no power tools needed.

• Attach pad onto hand sander.
• Use coarse pad to remove corrosion, rust, and light scratches. These pads will not remove deep scratches or casting lines. Use a flap wheel, sandpaper, or coarse cleaning wheel for scratch and casting removal.
• The fine pads wear quicker, so only use when giving your part a finishing shine.
• Remove as much grease, oil, and dirt as you can before using the pads, so you’re not contaminating them.
• Try to buff evenly across the part so you don't end up with dips or low spots.
• Sand or buff in the same direction if you’re going for a brushed look. Intersecting scratches do not look good.
• Use only light to medium pressure with the pad or you'll wear it out prematurely. If you need to apply heavy pressure, you should go to a more aggressive pad. 
• In order to make the pads last as long as possible, be careful around sharp edges.
• To achieve a higher shine and smoother finish, buff with a lubricant such as Maxima MPPL or WD40.
• Always wear a dust mask or respirator and eye protection while buffing!
