Spring has sprung, and now it’s time to tackle those outdoor finishing projects that have sat and waited all winter long. There are cars to be buffed, metal fabrication projects to finish, and touch-up jobs to complete. Do it all with one tool – the Chem-Set Buff-n-Blend Scuff Disc!

First: what makes a buffing pad different from a sanding pad? Buffing pads are much less abrasive than a sanding pad, making buffing pads ideal for finishing and polishing metals rather than achieving a gritty texture for better adhesion.

While we also carry a line of sanding discs perfect for the surface treatment of body filler, primer filler, paints, and lacquers, these discs are better suited for preparing surfaces rather than finishing them.

Why is Buffing Necessary?

Even with proper daily care that extends the lifespan and appearance of surfaces, there are factors that cause yearly wear and tear. In flooring (tile or wood), foot traffic is a major culprit of wear and tear; in car metals it is acid rain and the elements of the seasons. Outdoor surfaces also feel the effects of acid rain, which carries salts. These salts cause scratches and dull the surface, creating the need for the material to be resurfaced.  On interior surfaces, certain liquids (eve cleaning solutions) can cause issues with surface dulling.

Chem-Set Buff-n-Blend scuff discs are commonly used for cleaning, finishing and deburring solid surfaces and metals. Buffing improves the surface without significantly changing shape, dimension, or work piece, and prevents undercutting.

Many medical offices and automotive shops send their fabrications and supplies out to be deburred before use. This is a great way to remove the top layer of metal without altering the function of the object, which is ideal for medical tools that need to be completely sterilized before use.

Using Chem-Set Buff-n-Blend scuff discs for countertops, automotive metals, and other fine-tuned metals will polish and blend solid surfaced and metals for a smooth, level finish.  So, whether you’re looking to buff some scratches out of your car or polish those stone countertops, Chem-Set’s Buff-n-Blend scuff discs will get the job done right for you.
