Griot's Garage Orange Foam Correcting Pads for Car Polishing and Detailing, Removes Light to Moderate Paint Defects, Durable, Machine-Washable, 11241, 3", Set of 3

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I've gone through a grip of these at this point, and I keep them on hand as a general purpose pad. With a 12mm long throw 3" buffer, these will heat up and collapse in the middle with extended use, or if you apply any sort of real pressure though - so I would not consider these for anything heavy duty or they'll simply fail. I've never had the backing fall apart, and they will last quite a while - several washings - provided you use them for little stuff. I use these for mirrors, quick one-steps on headlights or for spot polishing where I won't be using them for an extended period. If you're using a long throw, or for aggressive work, I recommend using a pad that's designed for that kind of work. These are a standard duty workhorse that will remove light blemishes and light to moderate oxidation.

Nice car sponges. Work well. good quality and good price

Worked very well with the Griot's Garage chrome polish.

Works well and washes out nice and clean. Easy to use and lasts.

Great product. Saw this in a YouTube video where another customer could remove scratch on his car using this product and one more product. I baught both of these 2 products and used them together and also used this manually as I do Not have any electrical machine on which this product is used. Still in using it manually with hand, it did do an amazing job and removed a small scratch on my suv. I am very satisfied customer and I will definitely buy this product again in future.

Good pad matching the correcting cream used. I have not used a waffle pad yet so cannot compare the two, but this pad works well.

Griot sells a buffer that these fit and they are perfectly matched. I use the orange ones for various levels of polish on my paint and I love how I can get into places on the nose and tail of the car that the 6" pads don't do well with - or do at all. They also work nicely around wheel arches and my rocker panels that stick out from the body. Hand polishing is not my thing. These work great and hold up well - and I'm not easy on them. Be careful removing them from the hook and loop plate. If you don't grab the back of the pad down by the connection you'll rip them in half. I've been using them for about 8 years and they really make it easy to polish out "areas and spots" where I don't want to sit with a bigger 6" Porter Cable or my heavier Flex buffers. I also use the red pads for applying wax in the same spots but like a white pad for less aggressive polishing. Oh yeah, I wore out my old buffer bought at Griot's and they REPLACED IT AT NO CHARGE AND SHIPPED IT FOR FREE!

When restoring headlights, after the dry sanding process; I polish the headlights with these pads. With one pad, I’ve done 20 or so cars.

I use about one every 6 to 8 weeks and these are going very good. Comparable to any others

قوية و عملية سهلة التنظيف

De muy buena calidad,.los volvería a comprar, hacen muy bien su trabajo y su calidad de material es muy buena, 100% recomendado

It is a good pad. The correcting capabilities are superb. I had 1 pad fail on me after 2 panels, so it was probably a defective one. I have an exchange in process right now, but other than that the pad itself is great to use.

Not cheap, but great for gelcoat restoration ( light/moderates oxidation ) of tight spots.
