Reviews
"After the clay (totally impressed there too, first time for me on that also), i quick washed and wiped down the panels (i only did one at a time) and used the "Compound Power Pack" which is a different head and comes with ultimate compound... i found that for deeper scratches, if i hit it a couple of times, and let the rotation of the head / drill speed slowly work it's way over the area, that gets the scratches out for me. I had worried about the 'burn your paint' scenario but like i said, this unit is totally forgiving and let me work the same area slowly without heating up the panel (apparently warm to the touch is fine, hot is bad ... thats how you gauge if you are applying too much pressure or speed)."
"How I review: When I review a product said product automatically starts with four stars as I rarely will purchase anything below four stars. It will be rare that I would give a product one star since I buy mostly items that have a 4+ rating but in rare instances there may be a good reason that even a four star product gets a one star rating from me. It could be because of customer service issues from the company but whatever the case is I will clearly explain my reason for giving a product one star."
"The main reason I bought the set was because I live in an apartment complex and I certainly have no access to power to run a full sized DA tool at the car wash. With the slower speed, it takes quite awhile to go through the process...not to mention tiredness from holding the drill at all angles for a long time and keeping the finger on the trigger."
"Not impressed with the compound. Light scratches came off in a heartbeat, however more agressive ones were hard to get out. (I do mean Agressive, NOT scratches where the paint was peeled off) After working an area 12X12 as indicated on the product, I noticed the compound was hard to get off using the superior shine microfiber."
"I probably could have had a better job done had I paid someone else alot more money but this was my first time polishing anything (let alone a car), it was very easy to use, and I am very pleased with the results."

Size: 5. Dual action random orbital backing pad for car detailing.
Reviews
"I ordered this, before I bought the polisher, but tried the polisher with the Harbor Freight backing pad and a HF 6" foam pad, just to see how it worked. I replaced the Backing Pad with my new Astro, from Amazon, and the pads now last longer, with no damage to the back of the pad! If you buy the Harbor Freight DA Polisher and you plan to use 6" foam pads (like they sell at HF), buy this!"
"Not much to say about this other than it's worlds better than the pad that came with the tool."
"There is a little bend or give to it so it is not extremely stiff yet not bendy and cheap feeling at all."
"Hold on to the black thread cover and use it when you store this in order to keep from losing your spacer washer."
"This little backing pad is terrific, being both firm and flexible at the same tiime, and yes it DOES work perfectly well with the Harbor Freight DA polisher."
"Now the cheaper (and actually pretty darn good) Harbor Freight pads work great."
"Bought this backing pad to replace the 6 inch pad on the harbor freight DA polisher, this fits perfectly and fixed my issues with destroying polishing pads."
"It is a solid Velcro backing pad for use with the buffer and Chem Bros pads I purchased."

"I later used the buffing disk which was a separate purchase and tried to get the shine back , and it did bring back the shine but not as shinny as the original finish.the gouges did disappear as well as small scratches and created a smooth surface once again, but like i mentioned earlier i didnt work the areas long enough to get the full effect of each pad."
"Polished my cut granite to almost match factory, probably would have if I had a little more experience using this."
"they fit the grinder exactly as stated, but created so much vibration that I had to get a heavier grinder in order to be able to use them for more than a few minutes at a time."
"Not something I plan to use much but just like everything else once you have something you start finding uses for them."
"I bought these to polish a concrete and glass countertop I made and these pads worked great."
"I used these to polish a concrete counter top and they worked great."
"They don't sit perfectly flat, and tend to leave some streaks where the pad makes more contact (towards the center)."

Reviews
"The bar is hard like a crayon and you rub it on the strop and work it into the strop as best you can. I have even seen video of people using a smooth poster board with buffing compound and using it to strop hone a knife blade."
"On the down side, they go through a pound of extra fine buffing rather quickly."
"after I rub some compound onto the leather and start stropping, it turns black from the steel being cut off very quickly. I think there are compounds that can be worked into the leather, and if that is what you're looking for, this is not it."
"Very effective, with a decent strop can put a razor sharp edge on any knife - seriously, no exaggeration there."
"This block will last many years or decades in the future, that fact is reason enough to buy this if you are serious about getting an extremely sharp razor."
"This works nicely when combined with the leather strop I purchased here on Amazon."
"good finishing compound for aluminum."
"I use this with a buffing wheel and I'm hooked, I am polishing every I can put My hands on."
