3M UK pads

Where do I get 3M UK pads? I want to order some.

 

Unless someone here has some I think you'd have to get them from a supplier over in the UK.
I've got some but I'll be holding on to these.

I dont know of any of our sponsors that carry them.

 

Regrettably I'm all out :what: yes I know, how could I of all people be out of 3M UK foam pads? Well all the ones I ordered are all gone :shakehead: I barely have enough for my self....so another large order is on route :thumb: Not sure when I'll have it though

I'd recommend you take a look at Detailing World and look at some of their sponsors, most of the sponsors sell the 3M UK foam pads.

 

Are they so much better that the hassle is worth it?

 

My buddy Ray is coming to visit in a month or so, he lives in England, maybe he can pick some up and cram a suitcase full of them!

 

Have him bring some stuff that costs a shitload to ship! Aka Dodo Buckets etc.

 

How is he going to get buckets over here? lol...I bet that would look funny in his luggage.

 

OH, OH, OH!!! Are you taking orders? And much luggage is he bringing?

 

Honestly, he would bring anything I asked, he s a very dear friend. I was going to have a load of pads shipped to him, he lives in Newcastle Upon Tyne, and have him bring them over. As soon as I have a confirmed date of his visit I am going to place some orders. If anyone else wants in, i will post up when I know the date. I figure a few waxes, some pads, etc.

 

Hey, he could use the buckets for suitcases. Just need some lids =)

 

I'm in on some 3M UK pads. Both the 150mm and 80mm.
Polished Bliss stopped selling them and are going with Gloss it and Menzerna pads.

 

Buffing Pads & Backing Plates - Buy online from i4detailing.co.uk

i find it

 

i'm totally on for grabbing some 3M pads as well if there is enough space. We don't want your friend to come over without clothes

 

I have both the 3M UK and Gloss - it pads and I believe they are the same pre polymer foam. Even the compounding pads start to wear in the exact same fashion along the outer edge.

 

Ok, lets find the cheapest place to buy them from and see who wants what. I will call Ray today and ask him to account for one more suitcase for pads only.

 

If you plan on ordering from i4detailing.co.uk you can use the code DWX to get 7.5% off.

 

Im in for some pads.

 

+1. I'm in for some 3M UK pads. I have 2 3M UK blue finishing waffle pads. I love them. I have to lift up on the buffer to burnish they are so soft.

 

Yeah, I'd be in for some more.

The yellow pad freaking rocks. Need it to cut more? Change your polish and/or turn the speed up. You can run the thing right over seams and edges. It's brilliant.

Green is hands down the best foam polishing/compounding pad I've yet to try. I should buy a bunch of them and toss all my LC orange ones. When you hold it in your hand, it feels like it'll be a pain in the arse to work with, but once it's on the car, it just glides. Love that thing.

Blue one is the best finishing pad I've yet to use. 3M UK Blue plus 85RD will leave a vehicle impossibly glossy, it really has to be used to be believed.

Mine are proving quite durable too, which is good news, as I've seen some people complain of them tearing up a bit. I try to clean them in a sink of warm (not hot) water with some APC, and let them air dry. They're holding up great.

Anyway, the 3M UK pads are my absolute favorites so far. If this comes together, I'm in.

 

Wait so polished bliss stopped carrying them?! Bummer.
