How To Choose The Right Floor Pads?
Low Speed Floor Pads (For Buffer Speeds 175-300 RPM)
Strip:
Strip Pads are for removing all finish, sealer and contaminants from the floor surface.
Scrub:
Scrub Pads are for heavy duty scrubbing prior to recoating, heavy duty cleaning or foam scrubbing.
Polish:
Polish Pads are designed to "polish" already waxed floors to a higher gloss. While you can polish with standard 175 rpm low speed buffers, you will achieve a higher gloss and best results with high speed 1000 to 2000 rpm floor buffers.
High Speed Floor Pads (For Buffer Speeds 1000-3000 RPM)
Burnish:
Burnish Pads are designed to "burnish" already waxed floors to the highest gloss. The extra friction generated by higher RPM machines (1000-3000 RPM) produces the "wet look" many desire for their floors.
