Griot's Garage Orange Foam Correcting Pads for Car Polishing and Detailing, Removes Light to Moderate Paint Defects, Durable, Machine-Washable, 11241, 3", Set of 3

GREAT for paint correction. Easy to clean with pad cleaner.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I've gone through a grip of these at this point, and I keep them on hand as a general purpose pad. With a 12mm long throw 3" buffer, these will heat up and collapse in the middle with extended use, or if you apply any sort of real pressure though - so I would not consider these for anything heavy duty or they'll simply fail. I've never had the backing fall apart, and they will last quite a while - several washings - provided you use them for little stuff. I use these for mirrors, quick one-steps on headlights or for spot polishing where I won't be using them for an extended period. If you're using a long throw, or for aggressive work, I recommend using a pad that's designed for that kind of work. These are a standard duty workhorse that will remove light blemishes and light to moderate oxidation.

I got this orange correcting pads and they do the job. It was my first time doing a paint correction, and I achieved eliminating all hologram marks from a bad rotary buffer job. I paired with griots G9 and 3D One. No need for two steps. The pads, machine and compound work great correcting a finishing. Are a little pricey but worth the money spent.

Took the 5000 grit sanding marks out.

These are great for polishing. They aren't like others I have bought that have a solid surface. These have a hole in the center. Not sure why. They weren't packaged like the standard Griots Garage pads that come in a box. These were in a clear bag.

Pads work well for waxing the car.

Griot sells a buffer that these fit and they are perfectly matched. I use the orange ones for various levels of polish on my paint and I love how I can get into places on the nose and tail of the car that the 6" pads don't do well with - or do at all. They also work nicely around wheel arches and my rocker panels that stick out from the body. Hand polishing is not my thing. These work great and hold up well - and I'm not easy on them. Be careful removing them from the hook and loop plate. If you don't grab the back of the pad down by the connection you'll rip them in half. I've been using them for about 8 years and they really make it easy to polish out "areas and spots" where I don't want to sit with a bigger 6" Porter Cable or my heavier Flex buffers. I also use the red pads for applying wax in the same spots but like a white pad for less aggressive polishing. Oh yeah, I wore out my old buffer bought at Griot's and they REPLACED IT AT NO CHARGE AND SHIPPED IT FOR FREE!

I was using a budget polisher and still got results. Tried it with 3D One and Meguiar’s Ultimate Compound for minor paint correction, I was pleased with the results.

I use about one every 6 to 8 weeks and these are going very good. Comparable to any others

Seems to cut just as well as the lake country HDO pad. Did excellent work on a black car I have here.
