Chemical Guys BUF_301_16 Polishing and Buffing Pad Conditioner (16 oz)

Protect your paint finish and your pads with Chemical Guys "Polishing/Buffing Pad Conditioner". Machine polishing reduces friction and cuts your work time in half. While machine polishing, the pad appears to moves easier and produces better results once you break it in and use it for a few minutes. This is mainly because the pad is dense and new, and it will take several minutes for the glaze, wax or polish you are using to work into the foam or wool pad. Making sure that the pad has enough product in it is the key, because using a dry pad on a paint surface or any surface for that matter can do some serious harm to your surface. Using a pad that is dry on a surface without any lubricant or product is referred to as dry buffing and plain and simple, it can be a costly mistake. Friction from dry-buffing can lead to creating fine scratches and dullness or even burning the paint. Lube your pad before you use it.
