Here Are the Benefits of Using a Denim Foam Pad:

• Material; Denim fabric, known for its durability and ability to hold polishing compounds. The denim fibers also create a slight cutting action that helps to remove imperfections.
• Foam backing: The denim is attached to a foam backing, which provides cushioning and helps to distribute the polishing compound evenly.
• Polisher Attachment: Hook and loop (velcro) material on its back that securely attaches to the hook and loop backing plate.

Choose the Right Grit for the Job

The main difference between a 2000 grit denim pad and a 1500 grit denim pad lies in their abrasiveness, which affects how much imperfections they remove and the finish they leave on the surface. Here's a breakdown:

1500 GRIT Denim with White Foam Backing:
This is considered a medium-cutting pad, meaning it can remove light to moderate imperfections like swirl marks, light scratches, and water spots. It leaves a smooth finish, but may leave minor polishing marks that require further polishing with a finer pad.

2000 GRIT with Black Foam Backing:
This is considered a fine-finishing pad, meaning it is less aggressive and removes minimal material. It's better suited for polishing out very light imperfections or buffing the surface after using a more aggressive pad. Ideal for final polishing and bringing out the shine.

Technical Note About Denim Buffing Pads

Contrary to what the terminology might suggest, the "grit" rating in denim buffing pads doesn't directly translate to a traditional sandpaper grit equivalent. Unlike sandpaper where the number signifies the actual size of abrasive particles, the "grit" in denim pads refers to their cutting ability, or how much material they remove. Here's how it works:

Denim fibers themselves are not abrasive: They don't have sharp edges or particles like sandpaper. Instead, their cutting action comes from their texture and how they interact with the polishing compound.
