Re: Premium Professional Finishing System Soft Buff Pads
No, they're similar in appearance to our original Soft Buff pads, but the adhesive is such that these are machine washable.
I don't have a spec on the thickness, but looking at them side by side in front of me I'd say the 7" pads are just a tiny bit thicker. Not so much that anyone should care, really.
Remember, when using a 4" pad on a D/A buffer will notice a marked increase in cut over a 7" pad of the same foam construction - assuming similar speed and pressure of course. You're concentrating all that work into a much smaller space. If you do the math on the actual footprint, the difference is quite large. On a rotary you actually get less cut with a smaller pad (all else being equal) since the outside diameter of the smaller pad turns at a slower speed than that of a larger pad. And with a rotary, speed is a really big deal!
