hexlogic pads from ebay?

lsturbointeg · 07-05-2016, 11:36 PM

has anyone tried these? i'm ready to order from Chemical Guys but sometimes we all know they don't manufacture the products, they get it from somewhere and sell it themselves so if it's the same product, why spend more when you can get it for a cheaper price...any thoughts? for $19.99 you get the full set. shows over 323 sold

I haven't tried those specific pads but as you say I'd be surprised if Chemical Guys manufacturer their own buffing pads. For the price, I'd give them a try.

I use Lake Country CCS pads and I've been happy with their performance.

Apparently they are all made by one company. all you can do is try. But get a white one also.

Haha! I say let er rip. Just looked at the Chemical Guys website and a kit with similar pads looks like it runs ~$55 so quite a difference in price.

Have you checked out Detailed Image? They have quite a few buffing pad kits for very reasonable prices and I can't say enough good things about them (great customer service and prices).

If they're low quality, you should find out right away since they won't last very long or they won't cut very well.
