"This pad performs exceptionally well in all the key areas you want from a polishing pad, including paint correction, gloss enhancement, minimal dusting, and no sling. I’ve now used it on over 20 vehicles, and it has definitely become one of my favourite pads. Paired with DIY Detail Gold Standard Polish, it’s an excellent combo that has delivered great results time and time again. I’d confidently recommend this pad to both professionals and hobbyists."
"Used this pad with a DA polisher and Rupes Uno Protect and got perfect results. Pad was easy to clean with some rinseless wash and spun out in a bucket."
"Used it on the weekend and it did a great job of light to medium cutting whilst leaving a good finish. Paired it with the DIY Detail Gold Standard polish. Great combination"
"Corrects, can finish well and keeps the temperature lower than with an equivalent flat pad"
"The DIY Detail polishing system is so easy to use. The best part is there's no sling, and cleaning up after is so much faster. Traditional polishes made so much mess, even after masking off. It cuts your polishing time down by being much more efficient."
"Gold standard polishing pad, excellent. ,so are their other products I bought."
"Used it with batoca S2 5mm DA polisher. This was my first time polishing a car so i do not know if it was great or not, but my 13 year old car definately got glossier afterwards with some minor scratches removed"
"Awesome"
"Good works well."
