Review on SGCB Pro 6” RO DA Compounding Pad - Super Heavy Cutting Car Foam Polisher Sponge Pad Flat Hook & Loop Car Buffing Pad for First Compounding, Removing Heavy Scratches, Defects, Imperfections, & Oxidation - Wine Color by Tim Hodzic

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I will come back to this brand in the future.

Had to buy a 3 inch pad to polish a 2003 Tahoe roof. If you own a 2003 Tahoe, you know it has roof rails, similar to the rails you see on standard truck bodies. If you use a 6" spacer you run the risk of burning the railing edges and you didn't want to take that risk. I have to say this is a great pillow. I've had quite a bit of oxidation that I've neglected for a while, but I was able to salvage the color with this (Aqua) medium cutting insert. It worked better than the Chemical Guys 6-inch orange caulk I used when I got to the flat part of the roof. Do 2 or 3 passes of the higher speed flat section with Chemical Guys blocks. Whilst this is a medium cut-off wheel I feel it is a bit firmer than the Ghemical Guys orange medium/heavy wheel so take that into account. I have to say if you have quite a bit of oxidation use this water pad on lower to medium speed. In the end I was very happy and satisfied with my results and will likely purchase these pads in the future. I feel like using a SGBC 6 inch pad would make my job a little easier. Here's what I used in and in the order of application. 6" Flat Profile Gasket by Chemical Guys. 3. Nu Polish - with Chemical Guys Applicator (manual). 4. Meguire's M21 Sealant - with SGCB (Red) Handrail End Gasket. Part of the Roof Chemical Braces 6 in a Flat Section Finishing Pad 5. Washed the truck with water and soup and applied Meguires hybrid ceramics (while the car was wet).
