Chemical GuysBUFX117HEX5 Hex Logic Quantum 140mm 5.5" Red Ultra Light Finishing Pad ~ Car

I got these as a "step up" for the green Hex Logic pads I've used on my car. The green pad is supposed to be a heavy polishing / light cutting pad and it removed light swirl marks and faint scratches with ease. My other car had a more weathered paintwork so I thought I needed more cutting power. The conclusion is that this step up is barely noticeable when used on a DA polisher. It did remove swirl marks and faint scratches with the same level of effort but it wasn't noticeably harder cutting, in fact I didn't notice much difference compared to the results with the green pad.I think the reason for that is that while the green pad has an open pore structure this orange pad has closed pores therefore the increased cutting effect could only be achieved with more force applied to the panel. This is where it gets tricky with Dual Action polishers as excessive force would just make it stall. So I presume it's a better fit for purpose on rotary machines, otherwise go for the yellow pad if you need significantly more cutting power which again is an open pore structured pad.Still no regrets in getting these pads, they remained in shape after an extensive polishing session and cleaned up well, they seem to be of great quality, well recommended with keeping the above in mind.

I had the non quantum discs before wearing them out and looked for the next model up which was these. Real good discs however chemical guys brand more than doubles the price compared to the non branded chinese makes.Paid a lot more for them on amazon compared to other stores but overall the disk is good. Ive done 4 full car passes and the pad i estimate will be able to last one more. If i was cutting small areas it would last a lot longer.Durability on these heavy cut pads wears down very fast.

Seems to work well. Hard to clean though.

Worked well excellent

I have a JDM Subaru so the paint on my car comes off if you look at it the wrong way. Some minor marks and swirls were starting to appear so I needed to polish it.I was religiously tailing forums looking for the way to go about it without scrubbing my clear coat off. Someone recommended the blue chemguys pad.I decided to take the plunge and do it. What a result. It's just enoigj to remove swirls without taking the clear coat off which is amazing. Topped off with some 825 wax and perfect.

Very good pad, paired with Chemical guys vss, took all the surface swirls out after one go.

Excellent product, longer lasting than other similar products on market

Always work well chemical guys pads keep them clean and don't over heat them and they last along time

Great pad ,wash by hand let it air dry will last along time . When need arises I’ll definitely purchase again

We are typically big users of Rupes and Lake Country pads but these Hex pads are awesome for 1step polishes and quick paint enhancements!They are extremely durable and even work well with elevated heat!We have used these outdoors on boats and RVs and haven't noticed the adhesive that holds the backing for the pad breaking down which is an extremely common issue for us with other pads!Definitely worth trying!

Endlich habe ich die richtigen Pads für mich gefunden. Vom Ergebnis merke ich keinen Unterschied zu den Pads anderer Hersteller, aber der absolute Kaufgrund ist das Loch in der Mitte, wodurch die Wärme besser Abgeleitet werden kann. Alle anderen Pads haben sich leider mit der Zeit immer weiter verformt, dieses bleibt wie es soll.Ich reinige die Pads immer direkt nach der Benutzung unter fließend Wasser und kann nach etwa 4 Nutzungen noch keine größeren Abnutzungserscheinungen erkennen. Definitiv eine Kaufempfehlung von mir.

Au top rien a dire
