Introducing the Uber Flat Foam Buffing Pads from Detailer's Domain

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.

Re: Introducing the Uber Flat Foam Buffing Pads from Detailer's Domain

sorry maybe my eye are playing tricks on me
but that looks like the velcro is above the pad

would that make it the opposite of Recessed?

Re: Introducing the Uber Flat Foam Buffing Pads from Detailer's Domain

love them using them for about 8 months now.

recessed meaning the velcro is recessed from the edge of the pad.

Great idea to print the intended use on the pad.

I think the official term is "back cut". This is a nice safety feature for trim and other areas where the velcro backing might come in contact with a painted finish.
