4" pads are money

[nooner]

I got them today and used them on my bike, it makes it SOOOO much eaiser than trying to finagle the 7.5" pads around.

 

There are great for getting into tight spots and curves of the car too.

They are AWESOME. They also work great on car pillars.

i was reading the description about these pads and it said the black pad was a buffer and could burn the paint that is the first time i have seen anything associating adams and burning the paint did i read this wrong?

These pads are the same as the larger pads only smaller, and will not damage your paint. A "buffer" is a rotary polisher that will burn your paint if used improperly, which is why Adam's endorses the Porter-Cable Dual Action polisher because it is safe and will not burn your paint.

 

The wording on the site is a little misleading and should be fixed. It says "this is a buffer" because the original idea of these smaller pads was that they were to be used on a cordless drill, which imitates the movement of the rotary polisher. That's why they come with an adapter to be used on the Porter Cable as well, so you don't have to worry about causing damage with them.
