Buff and Shine polishing pads help detailers match the right level of cutting, polishing, or finishing performance to the condition of the paint. This collection includes EdgeGuard foam pads and URO Fiber microfiber pads for paint correction work ranging from heavier defect removal to final finishing.
Choose your pad based on the paint condition, the polish or compound you are using, your machine, and the amount of correction you want to achieve. When in doubt, begin with the least aggressive combination that can produce the result you need.
Why Choose Buff and Shine?
Buff and Shine has produced professional buffing pads since 1987 and offers products used across automotive detailing, body-shop work, marine, aviation, fiberglass, and reconditioning applications.

Whether you are correcting a neglected daily driver, performing a one-step enhancement, or refining paint before applying protection, Buff and Shine offers a practical pad choice for each stage of the process.

EdgeGuard pads use specialized foam in different colors and densities for heavy cut, medium cut, polishing, and finishing. They are ideal when you want precise foam behavior and easy pad centering. URO Fiber pads use microfiber on the face of the pad and are better when you need extra cutting performance with the ability to finish well in fewer steps.

After each polishing session, remove product buildup using a pad brush or compressed air, then wash pads with a dedicated pad cleaner or a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and let them air dry face up in a clean area. Proper cleaning and drying help the foam and microfiber maintain their structure and extend pad life.
