Heavier than standard material produces more efficient buffing action (faster colouring\/finishing)!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a long wait, we're proud to introduce Spectrum Professional Series buffing wheels made by Hilzinger America. These buffing wheels sport higher grades of raw material than are regularly available in North America, and come combined with exceptional construction and clinch ring strength. Though they come at a greater cost, they more than make up for it through enhanced durability, efficiency, retained firmness throughout their lifespan, and - more importantly - finer finishes in less time\/fewer steps. Please note that the cotton used in these buffs tends to hold compound much better than domestic fabrics - as a result, particularly after a break-in period, it's easier to accidentally overload your compound. A little goes a \u003cem\u003elong \u003c\/em\u003eway!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this point, you will not be accomplishing any cutting action - you will simply be minimizing (and ideally, eliminating) any buff trails and fine scratches from previous stages. Soft and flexible buffing wheels allow you to apply the finest compounds gently and evenly, resulting in a beautiful, flawless mirror finish. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtilizing a less dense 60\/60 weave, these soft cotton buffing wheels provide less firmness but a softer feel and cleaner finish than standard 86\/82 untreated cloth. They also generate and retain heat more efficiently than Domet flannel. This special textile has an over 20% heavier, thicker yarn than standard 60\/60 material, allowing for even greater compound retention and efficient buffing action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAssembled in the USA!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003eRecommendations\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePairs with\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" title=\"Menzerna P126 Stainless Finish\" href=\"https:\/\/spectrumalberta.ca\/products\/menzerna-p126-stainless-steel-finish\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMenzerna P126\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" title=\"Menzerna 480W Brass Finish\" href=\"https:\/\/spectrumalberta.ca\/products\/menzerna-480w-brass-finish\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMenzerna 480W\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" title=\"Menzerna 480BLF Aluminum Finish\" href=\"https:\/\/spectrumalberta.ca\/products\/menzerna-480blf-aluminum-finish\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMenzerna 480BLF\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" title=\"Menzerna P175 Universal Super Finish\" href=\"https:\/\/spectrumalberta.ca\/products\/menzerna-p175-universal-super-finish\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMenzerna P175\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuff will need to be raked prior to initial use.
