Review on 🚗 SPTA 7''/180mm Polishing Pad Kit - Sponge Buffing Pads with 5 Waffle Foam, 1 Wool Grip Pad, and a 5/8''-11 Threaded Backing Plate for Car Buffer Polisher - Ideal for Sanding, Polishing, and Waxing by Joshua Vogel

These pads are too soft, almost like dish sponge. The problem occurs when you try to cut with them. The sponge just isn't strong enough to cut through the paint to actually set the paint. That's probably what happened to the other reviewer here. He didn't notice any results, then compensated with heavy pressure, which melted the pads. Since half the pads are actually for buffing, half the set actually does what it's supposed to. So you actually have a buffer of 7 sentences.
