Going to order some of these up to try out with my Flex 3401 and am wondering how many would be good to order? How many of these do you guys use on a typical sedan for correction?

I was thinking 2 as I hear they clean very easily and can be put right back into action. If I like them I will order more later on.
 
i have had 2 in my autogeek shopping cart for a few days. i'm still debating on getting them. i have a black patherfinder to color sand in about a week so i might order them and try them out on that
 
gmblack3a- Yeah, "thanks!" from me too. I've been meaning to revisit the SurBuffs and I always like to send business Irene's way :xyxthumbs
 
I just used these pads with Menzerna sip and they did get rid of allmost all the swirls and marring....but they def leave a micro scratched surface.I tried using some Poli-seal to get rid of the marring and it covered up most of it.



That dosent work for me so im going at it this thursday and am going to hit it with 106ff and then some 85rd to clean it up......but these pads do rock.

REALLY?!? You're not just being facetious? OK, short version:



Vehicle corrected with M85/wool, finished with 106FF, waxed with 476S. Looked OK. Vehicle then garaged, unused, in a climate-controlled shop. Over the course of five or six months, some *really* nasty holograms (from the M85) started to appear all over it. The 476S was still in great, "just-waxed" condition yet the previously-concealed holograms (and some other previously invisible marring) were now visible. The guy who did the work (pal of mine, and a member here) was mortified and I had one big, long project on my hands. Since then I'll only use 106FF as a true finishing polish, after I've done all the correction (including mild work like hologram removal) with something else. And I'm constantly warning people about the concealing.
 
Been wanting to update this after I got to use these.

A huge thank you goes out to whoever found these and turned us onto them.



My first correction with these was on a black fiberglass top for a pickup truck that had been damaged being shipped. The wrap came loose and scratched the top from flapping in the wind on the highway. The shop then tried to fix it after using a wool pad and rotary before calling me in. This top was messed up to say it lightly for being brand new.

I did half with an orange pad and half with a surbuff pad using M105 using the same amount of passes on each and the surbuff was clearly better.



Glad I made the purchase. These pads I believe paid for themselves after a couple of jobs I did with the time it saved me. If you haven't tried them do so. Will not be disappointed. :2thumbs:

The finish left on the surbuff pad was good? I heard its hazy...

Yeah you still need to follow up with a less aggressive polish like M205 but as far as knocking down the swirls, scratches, and marring that was there the surbuffs did better.

Glad to hear they are working very well for you.



Mr Kevin Brown is who "discovered" the surbuf pads w M105. :bow
 
Just finished a black Suburban with the pads 105 and 205, then finished with 205 on a black 2.0 pad, came out pretty damn good.



I tired PFW on the same paint with 105 and while it seem to cut better, I had to 3 step it to get rid of all the micro marring and halos.



Cheers,

GREG
