These buffing wheels sport higher grades of raw material than are regularly available in North America, and come combined with exceptional construction and clinch ring strength.

Soft and flexible buffing wheels allow you to apply the finest compounds gently and evenly, resulting in a beautiful, flawless mirror finish. Utilizing a less dense 60\/60 weave, these soft cotton buffing wheels provide less firmness but a softer feel and cleaner finish than standard 86\/82 untreated cloth; they also generate and retain heat more efficiently than 42\/40 Domet flannel. Due to the hard-wearing nature of our European textiles, we opted to add plys but reduce the total volume of cloth in each ply; this produced a buff with equivalent life but a less firm face, resulting in a cleaner and more consistent finish as it wears down (compared to our original 20 ply configuration).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAssembled in the USA!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cem\u003eRecommendations\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePairs with\u003c\/span\u003e: \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spectrumab.com\/collections\/solid-polishing-compounds\/products\/menzerna-p126-stainless-steel-finish\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Menzerna P126 Stainless Finish\" style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003eMenzerna P126\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spectrumab.com\/collections\/solid-polishing-compounds\/products\/menzerna-480w-brass-finish\" title=\"Menzerna 480W Brass Finish\" style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/spectrumalberta.ca\/products\/menzerna-480w-brass-finish\" data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003eMenzerna 480W\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spectrumab.com\/collections\/solid-polishing-compounds\/products\/menzerna-480blf-aluminum-finish\" title=\"Menzerna 480BLF Aluminum Finish\" style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/spectrumalberta.ca\/products\/menzerna-480blf-aluminum-finish\" data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003eMenzerna 480BLF\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/spectrumab.com\/collections\/solid-polishing-compounds\/products\/menzerna-p175-universal-super-finish\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Menzerna P175 Universal Super Finish\" style=\"color: rgb(239, 139, 34);\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMenzerna P175\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e,\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" data-mce-style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eMenzerna M5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuff will need to be raked prior to initial use.
