You'll find more opinions on these over at Detailing World - I don't think these are even sold in the US?

These look like Buff & Shine pads with a rounded edge. B&S will make custom pads for customers.

To be honest, I didn't know Menzerna sold pads. Not that it's strange by any means and actually makes sense...

Re: Menzerna polisinh pads 5.5"

A fair number of people over at the UK detailing forum (Detailing World) use them. Most of the comments I've read say that they're ok pads, but that there are better available (such as the CG Hex-Logic, which are made by Buff and Shine, and the LC HT and Constant-Pressure pads). As for being made by Buff and Shine... anything's possible, but the logistics argue against it; it doesn't make any sense for Menzerna, a European company (NOT Menzerna USA) to outsource pad production to a US company, then pay for the expense to have them shipped to Europe, AND only sell them there, when they could probably find a manufacturer to make them on the continent.

Re: Menzerna polisinh pads 5.5"

IF those pads are for tools like the Flex 3401 or rotary buffers then they'll work great, if they are marketed for any type of tool with a free floating spindle bearing design then they are too thick...


See comments just posted to this thread...
