Center Ring Pads

**imported_Jakerooni** · 05-01-2009, 01:37 PM

So I got contacted by a rep from Buff and Shine products to see if I could test out some of ther pads for them. I always like testing stuff out so I had to ask what was the pitch with these pads. I told him that I currently run the edge2000 system on one of my rotaries. He said perfect because that`s exactly what they are competing with. Basically the Pad`s are designed with a center ring in them that lines up perfectly with the BP they provide. So just like the edge system it`s perfect centering everytime. But no metal center to worry about looking scary to potential customers that would freak out if they saw that metal post coming anywhere near their paint. I got the shipment in yesterday they sent me BPs for both the roataries and the D/A`s I have plus both cutting and finishing foam and wook pads. All 7" right now. They are developing smaller sizes but are waiting to see if these take off first I guess. I haven`t had a chance to try them out just yet but just by looking at the set up I do like the concept a lot. And the pads are the same price as other regular pads (around $8-$10) so the cost is better than the edge system already. I have an Escelade coming in tomorrow so I should get a chance to try these out. Anyone else get a chance to use these yet? I know they`re fairly new but I think they`ve been out for a little while now. THe foam pads are honeycombed out. Could be an interesting cut. I just like being called on to test stuff out LOL.

LOL sorry. Here`s some pics of what they sent me. You can also check out their website. Car Buffing Pads, Car Wash Equipment, Automotive Polishing Pad & More Ã¢â‚¬â€œ Buff and Shine they seem to have alot more options on there.

You can see the centering ring in the pad.

BP in pad... seems like a perfect fit to me.

Front of pad... honeycomb effect.

Looks promising... post up how you like it...

Looks very similar to the Meg`s SOLO or 2.0 system. Which works very well IMO. I like the plastic ring on the Buff and Shine pads. Should do a really good job of keeping the pad centered.

Looks interesting. I like how they include all the pad #`s on the back of the black pad.

actually AL they do look exactly like those ones... Wonder if they`re just rebranded like alot of CG stuff?? ehh looks like there`s options out there at least with it. Should be testing it out here in about a hour or so.

actually I think it`s vice versa ---- pads are B&S but CG is rebranding it.

Similar to their MPT line, which are Sonus pads/which are LC made...

I thought that it was a interesting lineup but I tend to prefer flat pads...

Jakerooni, I think you will like the pads, the BP is nice too.

**imported_Jakerooni** · 05-02-2009, 07:21 PM

Oh yea I`m sold.. The foam is made different than any other foam pad I`ve ever used. Seems more like a "Fiber foam" of sorts but it holds up very very well. And centered everytime. Even at higher speeds very minimal chatter. I would say this is a very good option to the edge system (that seems to be getting phased out anyways)
