I immediately switched pads and was amazed at how good these pads worked.

I give them :thumbup:

Super pads, but the down side is that they don`t last like a foam pad.

Ok Bill, are you telling me that there is something better than Cyan/Tangerine on a Flex!! I thought these were the last pads I would ever have to buy!! Are you finding that 105 may be to aggresive and 205 might be better with surbuff`s? Anybody out there using Surbuff`s on a Flex that can give me there opinion on the combination?

I can`t really compare them to Surbuf, as I haven`t used the Cyan/Tang.

Well... this was my maiden voyage with Surbuf and I only used them with M105. I`ll report back on this as I use them more and let you know my findings.

They work great with the flex but do leave marring so its def not a one step.I used SIP and followed with 106ff on a white pad and it came out sweet.

Since the Surbuf pads require very little pressure to do their job, is there any benefit in using them on a Flex vs a standard PC/G110/GG polisher?

Cool write up! Thanks for posting this Bill.

That might be true, but the increase in productivity is well worth it to me!

True, they seem a little more delicate than a foam pad, but foam pads have to take a beating from heavy pressure. Surbuf pads operate on very light pressure. I`ll report back after doing an entire vehicle with Surbuf and let you know how the pads look after that.

If I can get 5-6 uses out of a Surbuf, that`s only a dollar per use. I`d settle for that! (although I have some foam pads that I`ve used 30 times and they still look good!)

Very true Bill. Yes, let us know how the pads hold up. I have 2 pads, but only used it once on a trunk and it does cut, but perfer a wool pad and a rotary for heavy jobs.
