Chemical Guys Hex Logic 6.5 Inch White Light Medium Polishing Pad Sponge Ø165 Mm Bufx_104Hex6

These worked great while trying to remove light to very light swirl marks and scratches from paintwork. With my DA long throw polisher and Scholl's S20 compound these pads produced a nice finish without heating up the paint. On one of the pads I did notice some faint wear but the other two remained good as new after cleaning them up.Maintenance is important here, I used a soft toothbrush to remove polish residue from the pads between runs and threw them in water immediately after switching to a new one.I wish I got more as I had only three of these for an entire car which isn't ideal – I had to clean and dry them midway through my polishing session as an average sized car should need at least 4 or 5 of these in my opinion.And this is why the price matters. For some reason Amazon priced these much better than other retailers and it made me wonder whether these are genuine. As opposed to the product photos, there is branding on the back of the pads, and even if they are fake, without any previous experience with Chemical Guys foam pads I won't be able to tell. Packaging and quality feels genuine to my weekend warrior eyes and I'm happy with the performance. Will buy other grades if priced this well.

The pad works just fine and did a nice job of buffing up some shine on my car but, there is absolutely no chemical guys branding on the packaging or the pad so I doubt it is genuine as the chemical guys pads have their brand on them. I can't give the full 5 stars as I'm not sure if what I've been sold is actually what was advertised. My last review was never allowed to be posted but they've not contacted me to tell me if the pad is genuine so I will post again.

Beware of cheap imitations...…if you're using this to detail a car surely you want a brand name to deliver optimum results, especially when a car is the second most expensive item you will ever purchase. When used with a one step cutting/polishing compound and a DA machine you can achieve great results. Plenty of advice on YouTube on the values of using decent pads.

As with any Chemical Guys product I used in the past the quality is as good as the other major brands , this pad can be used as a finishing pad and a polishing pad as it has a very small amount of abrasion.Depending on the polish you are using of course and how long you work it but this pad will help with heat build up which can impact the performance of the product you are using and cause dusting.Great Pad and a good seller

I don't know why but this pad feels a lot more denser than the same brand of a 5.5" pad? Have a selection of all the same brands for light to medium, heavy and finish polishing pads that feel the same between sizes but not this one, it's more like a heavy cutting pad.
