FAQ

Can these pads be used on painted surfaces?

Yes, the ultra‑fine grade is gentle enough for light sanding of painted surfaces, helping to smooth imperfections before repainting. However, for heavy paint removal, a coarser grade is recommended.

How long does a single pad typically last?

When used for standard buffing and polishing tasks, a pad can last through several projects. Longevity depends on the pressure applied and the material being worked on; for delicate wood work, pads may last longer than when used on harder metals.

Is the steel wool safe for use on delicate electronics?

The pads are not recommended for direct contact with electronic components due to the risk of metal particles causing short circuits. For cleaning electronics, use specialized anti‑static cleaning tools.

What is the best method to store the remaining pads?

Keep the unused pads in a dry, cool environment, preferably in their original packaging or an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect the steel fibers.
