    Surbuf R Series Buffing Pads

    Just received them today in 4" and 5.5".

    Not much in the instructions (nice packaging/box) about the cutting ability and use of the same.

    Does anyone tried them on rotary and what are the results?

    What level of cut they offer?

    How do you wash them and what's their longevity?

    A few forum members here highly recommended them, that's why I wanted to give it a go.

    Thanks for your input!

    I haven't used them on a rotary yet but, on my DA's they work exceptionally well. You will need to finish with foam but they cut very fast and expedite my defect removal. I highly recommend them.

    +1000 to PP comments.

    I only use them when there's a mess to correct and either 105 or TSR on orange won't budge it.

    I love them but they don't last all that long. They will remove defects from hard paint with 105 pretty quick. Quick finish and you're done.

    +3 on not using them on a rotary

    The secret to these pads is to use as little pressure as possible. Keep the "fingers" standing out and you'll be amazed at what they will remove

    Same way you clean foam. Nylon brush and some pad rejuvenator in a bucket with water.
