Collection: 1-4" Polishing Pads

There are plenty of 40mm to 80mm buff pads around and to be fair most are good enough if you can narrow down a great system. The RUPES, SWISSVAX & OPTiX buffing systems are all straight forward because each brand has it's own compounds to complete the system. 

The biggest advantage of buying RUPES 40mm and 70mm pads is the VELCRO backing on the pads grip a lot better than the no name brands. The smaller the pad the more grip you need. It's easy to get away with under performing backing pad grip on a larger 5 inch pad because of being more surface area of contact over the smaller 40-70mm pads.

OPTiX is yet to produce foam pads smaller than 3 inches.

Our best 3inch pad pick is the OPTiX Green with the new S-line design making it easier to work with better grip due to a lighter design, better detailed buffing due to the pointer edge design and extra protection due to the extra foam around the edge keeping that dangerous backing plate away from the delicate surfaces that could be damaged should the edge of the backing plate clip something.
