SPTA5/''(125MM) Microfiber Cutting Pads, 3PCS Soft Wax Removal Pad, Detailing Applicator for Waxing and Polishing&Scratch Vortex Ultrafine Fiber Pad, black, MPHCS5G3

I usually use the Buff&Shine Uro Fiber 50/50 pads for med scratches. They have a reputation among pro detailers. On Amazon,for the 3" pads,they're usually 20$ So,I tried these out to see if they're the same,since the Uro pads are made in China also,to save a few bucks (3 for $13.). Well,they're not exactly the same and just rebranded. The Microfiber material looks the same but there's a difference. The SPTA material is slightly softer and fluffier. But,the quality is just as good! The paint on my cars,a Genesis and Infiniti,are very hard. So for deep scratches I use the purple wool pads. I have Lake country but I've tried the Spta purple wool pads,and they appear to be the same. They cut equally well and the backing velcro glue holds up. And this is the case for the SPTA microfiber pads vs the Uro 50/50 microfiber pads. The Uro pads are slightly harder in feel,but the foam backing is softer,which slows the buffer a little more. The SPTA red foam is more dense. So on my hard paint, using Griots fast correcting cream or 3d One (400),either one I highly recommend, the cutting difference is negligible. The URO 50/50 cuts a little bit more. But not significantly. I'd rather save a few bucks. On softer clearcoats, they're going to work fine.I also use the SPTA foam pads. They're way cheaper and work as good as my lake Country.And the velcro backing holds up well. Honestly,the foam IS better on the Lake Country pads. But Lake Country is considerably more expensive. The SPTA kits can't be beat for the price.I've also tried the CAR ROAD pads,and they're probably made in the same factory as SPTA. These pads work and hold up as good as the ChemBro's hex pads,so save yourself some money. Because I wouldn't be surprised if they're all made in the same plant. Not all Chinese brands are made like this,but these companies have proven themselves.

A product that I am happy to leave a review on. In my opinion I find these pads better than the Buff & Shine Uro Fiber pads for standard detailing. The buffing fibers are much softer. The foam backing is stiffer (more dense), and gives you a better feed back. I don't feel the need to push down on the polisher like I feel I need to with the Uro Fiber pads, which doesn't cause as much heat to the polish, and ultimately the polish seems to spread out better. Lastly the hook & loop is a little bit stronger. All of this coupled with the lower price makes these a much better product in my opinion.However I will say that the Uro Fiber pad does have a tiny bit more of an aggressive cut. If I was wet sanding out a scratch, I would probably start with with the Uro Fiber pad. But I would definitely finish with the SPTA pad.Also if it matters to you, the SPTA pad is 3MM smaller the Uro Fiber pad. The SPTA measures 127MM with my calipers, and the Uro Fiber pad measures 130MM. I did not have a problem fully covering the polisher pad, but there is no overhang either. I prefer this, so I don't find this to be a problem.

Worked great for polishing my headlights

For over 25 years, I've dedicated myself to professional auto detailing, gaining experience with an array of polishes and pads. I've found remarkable success using them with my Rupes iBrain Nano polisher equipped with a 1-inch backing plate. Additionally, I acquired the 2-inch pads, which perform exceptionally well too. They excel in reaching confined areas and effectively eliminating substantial scratches. Needless to say, I'm thoroughly impressed.

Not durable

Overall a good product, just be careful not to exceed the rpm’m while buffing.

Was unable to cut into the paint and remove swirls, seemed not too effective
