The kit contains three different pads formulated to handle compounding, finishing polish, and wax application so you can move from defect removal to gloss restoration without changing systems. Durable German-made foam plus a reinforced interlayer and secure hook-and-loop backing give stable performance across repeated uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these pads improve results compared to standard foam?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BUFFING HERO pads use a dense, long-wearing foam and a special binding interlayer that preserves shape under the forces produced by orbital tools.
