Default Introducing the Uber Flat Foam Pads from DD

We would like to introduce our new Uber Foam Buffing Pads.

Well how did this come about:

Since I have been selling polishes, pads, and polishers I have been getting that one question:

Customer: What pad do I use for this polish?

DD: I would then ask what mfg is the pad?

Customer: I'm not sure or 3m or maybe LC or maybe meg's etc...

So I started to do some research:

I searched all over the web and found nothing really besides colors that would indicate what step you would use. For newbie and oldies alike I still got the question.

Solutions:
Well we still have colors but we decided to stamped the step on the pad so now we have the orange pad and the step medium polish on the velcro pad and so on, this should help everyone out a bit more.

On top of that I personally as well as most of you all like low profile pads, I have made the 4 inch and 5 inch a height of 1 inch.

As well as that we recessed the velcro to help prevent the velcro from damaging the paint.

Check out how they look:

The step labeled on the back (4 inch pad shown)


1 inch thick (4 inch and 5.5 inch)


Recessed velcro backing (blue pad shown here)

Note: All our polisher kits will now include these 4 pads.

wow - nice!

i really like the smaller velco backing, and to put the purpose of the pad makes me wonder why everyone hasn't been doing this for quite some time. they look nice and i'm sure they'll be great. will probably be trying some out when its time for new pads

you know I was shaking my head about that one too.
I can't believe no one has done it yet.

anyway these will come with every kit we sell from now on.

I think they are great for the newbie or the pro
