    Got one of each (for now) of the new Gloss-It pads plus one of each backing plate. I also received the beta finishing polish that it supposed to be amazing.. can't wait to try it out today.
    Also is an in-development wheel brush (looks like an interior boars hair brush, but the bristles are more stiff--the handle will be changed once it goes in to production), that I'm going to be giving my opinion on today too!

    That's all for now!

    Nice steal. Did you get a break on buying in bulk?

    gloss-It stuff isn't cheap. I'm still going to buy the 3" BP, although I may just stick with Uber pads (I don't own Uber ones yet, but will shortly :D )

    The BP pictured was the first version produced. The newer version (the one I have) is made with slightly denser foam and has a secondary bevel at the base of the velcro. The adhesive is tucked in better as well.

    Ill get a pic up soon

    But it seems they are really high priced on the pads...

    Hopefully they lower those prices.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. $17-25 for pads? Seriously?

    You have to email gloss it directly with the request of what you want, they do the invoice and paypal request.

    what are these pads like? i dont think i can justify paying so much for them. are they worth the price?

    I think the price includes a reacharound by the delivery guy. :eek:

    Maybe the pads clean themselves or something?
