Where to buy quality polishing pads?

[nicostang]

Hello! :wave:

I have a question: Where can I get good polishing pads for my Polishing tool? I need pads that have the tightening string behind them because the others i tried with the elastic band are simply CRAP... My polisher just blows them away at only 20% of the max speed.

Any special brands or shops to recommend?

My tool is this: Kawasaki - 7" Variable Speed Sander/Polisher - 840581

And looks like this:

Thank you all! :thumbsup:

Be careful with that buffer. If you don't know how to use it you will destroy your paint very quickly...

Thanks for the input. I've used the buffer MANY times before... It's just that i ran our of pads

Any other places to recommend?

I ran out the other day to buy 6" buffer pads and I tried Advanced Auto Parts, Ace Hardware, and Walmart.

I had no luck, I guess i'll have to get some online.
