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.

Just curious if anyone has an opinion on this. TIA

I really can't comment, Mike. I only use the Griots and the PC.

Anyone use these with a Flex?
