Pictures of a 6" Maroon Uro-tec pad after 25-30 uses!

Remember back when we all thought buff and shine flat 5.5" orange cutting pads were nearly indestructible? lol

Then Rupes 15mm and 21mm polishers entered the market and we found out that hardly any pads on the market could withstand more than a few polishing sessions due to all the heat generated by these machines.

Buff and Shine and Lake Country have seriously stepped up their game in the past few years and I feel the B&S uro-tec pads are some of the best foam pads money can buy.

Here are two 6" maroon uro-tec heavy polishing pads.

It's pretty amazing that after 25-30 uses this maroon uro-tec pad still hasn't delaminated or completely shredded apart.

The other maroon uro-tec pad has only been used once.

This is awesome! I love B&S and have been very impressed with all of their pads durability!

Have you found that this pad will still perform well when it gets to the condition in your picture?

That is impressive!

I was thinking the same thing. When does one decide a pad is no longer any good?

Subjective, when you can’t tolerate the shredding or the velcro lets go. When pads start to wear the surface changes from smooth and flat to rough which increases in their cut. They might look worse for wear but on the contrary work better.

I used it one more time then tossed it. I used to toss my pads once they started shedding or once the hook and loop backing separated, but that doesn't seem to be an issue with these uro-tec pads. I probably could have used it a few more times, but the velcro backing was so worn down it would hardly stick to the backing plate and I didn't want to risk it flying off in the middle of a correction. It definitely paid for itself many times over.
