Griot's Garage 11249 Blue 3-inch Applicator Pad (Pack of 3) Review

It would be nice to indicate the relative hardness/roughness of the pads. In any case, it's just an item to polish matte headlight lenses with a buffer/grinder with a 1/4" angle head.

The first pad fell out after the first use. I have used and loved Griot products in the past. This block does not meet the usual standards. Update: 1st covering must have been defective. The other two pads worked very well. Rating changed from 1 star to 3 stars.

I like these for interior cleaning. The padding and velcro loop make it easier for me to get to the right spot on the dash etc. Comfortable to use and with the padding it can be used in several different positions which is nice. They are a bit smaller than the blue griot sponges but I kept them for the ability to use a pad and keep my hands clean.

This is exactly what you would expect from foam pads. The size is convenient for working in hard-to-reach places. However, the size also makes them easy to stack and pop out of your hand when in use. That's why Griot sells an extra Velcro handle. But spending extra dollars is not a problem for me. I machine wash them with my microfiber towels which seems to work great. Pads last a long time before they start breaking. So three packs should last you for a while depending on how often you use…
