nice. i remember reading about those when they were first coming out.

You use those pads to dress tires? Uber pads . . . . . i wonder how their buffing pads are.

the first one i used lasted for many months. i'll never go back to using the tire swipes, the foam is too soft and after a while when it gets saturated with dressing, it falls apart...

33 cents apiece is pretty good........hard to buy a quality pad for use on tires at 6x+. Plus, the HF's have been good so far. If it gets me through a few cars worth of applications per pad, I'm good.

HF stuff is CHEAP CHEAP, don't get me wrong.....not likely buying quality tools from them, but they do have some bargains. When I picked these sponges up last night, also bought a few other do-dads including a heat gun for like $9, carpenter's square for ~$5 and an aluminum 1.5 ton floor jack for $59 w/coupon. The jack is going to compliment my monster Walker that is bullet proof, but a monster to maneuver. Figured this little one is a good thing to have for the occasional tire change, etc.. Very low profile for the 'vette, as well.

And, if you don't get some fee stuff when shopping at the HF, you're doing something wrong. Last night, I rolled out with an LED flashlight and another set of cheap screwdrivers......have about 6-7 sets of those. Just keep looking in the back of C&D, Motor Trend, Popular Mechanic, et. al. magazines........always discounts & free stuff......gotta have that free stuff!!

FYI - did you guys ever see this web site about HF product reviews?? Would be good to add you opinions, whether good or bad experiences......helps sort their stuff out!!
