`Hook and loop' is a generic term for Velcro type fastening. Test run the buffer at low speed and see how it feels. The `loops' are the fuzzy part on the back of the pad. The pad is designed to be secured by the hook and loop system. This is a reasonably priced, good quality, seven inch diameter, wool buffing and polishing pad.

Push the pad and wheel together, and give them a little twist to make sure there is a good `bite'. It is pretty thick and deep, and has a 3/4 inch diameter hole in the middle. One advantage of hook and loop is that you can change pads quickly.If you have concerns about the reliability of hook and loop, the system is reasonably secure. If it seems secure, you can gradually increase the speed and pressure. The `hooks' on your buffing wheel, need to be in good condition, and not damaged or bent up.

I use on fiberglass boats and my truck. Have used these pads in the past , but others like them so much they seem to disappear I use two at a time to clean one and use the other.

Good for applying and removing wax. It gets saturated after a while, so it's a good idea to have extra spares while waxing your car.

I have seen this product and I am very impressed. This is what you want when you are ready to do the best job on your car or truck.
