Abstract
Polishing pad for use with high-speed mechanical buffers or for use by hand. More specifically, a sloped polishing pad and methods of use for the polishing pad, the sloped polishing pad having a sloped foam pad, and having a cloth, a foam, or both attached to a top surface of the foam pad, with the cloth, the foam, or both covering part of the top surface of the sloped foam pad such that gaps in the coverage allow for the sloped foam pad and either the cloth, the foam, or both to touch a polishing surface at the same time.
Claims21
A sloped polishing pad for use with high-speed mechanical buffers or for use by hand comprising:
- a foam pad comprising a top surface, the foam pad comprising a first thickness and a second thickness;
- and
- at least one of a cloth and a foam that are each different in abrasiveness than the foam pad coupled to the top surface of the foam pad, the at least one of the cloth and the foam covering part of the top surface of the foam pad such that gaps in the coverage provided by the at least one of the cloth and the foam allow for the foam pad and the at least one of the cloth and the foam to touch a polishing surface at the same time.
A method of removing imperfections from a polishing surface comprising:
- providing a first polishing pad comprising:
- a foam pad comprising a top surface, the foam pad comprising a first thickness and a second thickness;
- and
- a cloth coupled to the top surface of the foam pad, the cloth covering part of the top surface of the foam pad such that gaps in coverage provided by the cloth allow for the cloth and the foam pad to touch the polishing surface at the same time;
- performing at a point of an imperfection at least one of:
- sanding the polishing surface, or applying a high-speed mechanical buffer to the polishing surface with either a polishing pad with a solid top surface of foam and cloth;
- and
- polishing the polishing surface with the first polishing pad such that cloth and the foam pad touch the first polishing surface at the same time, the polishing surface being a surface of paint from at least one of a car, a boat, or an airplane.
A method of removing imperfections from a polishing surface comprising:
- providing a buffer head with a sloping bottom surface and coupling the buffer head to a polishing pad, the polishing pad comprising:
- a foam pad;
- and
- a cloth coupled to a top surface of the foam pad, the cloth covering part of the top surface of the foam pad such that gaps in the coverage provided by the cloth allow for the cloth and the foam pad to touch the polishing surface at the same time;
- performing at a point of an imperfection at least one of:
- sanding the polishing surface, or applying a high-speed mechanical buffer to the polishing surface with either the polishing pad with a solid top surface of the foam pad and the cloth;
- and
- polishing the polishing surface with the polishing pad such that the cloth and the foam pad touch the polishing surface at the same time, the polishing surface being a surface of paint from at least one of a car, a boat, or an airplane.
A sloped polishing pad for use with high-speed mechanical buffers or for use by hand comprising:
- a foam pad comprising a top surface, the foam pad comprising a first thickness and a second thickness;
- and
- a cloth or a foam coupled to the top surface of the foam pad, the cloth or the foam covering part of the top surface of the foam pad such that gaps in the coverage provided by the cloth or the foam allow for the foam pad and either the cloth or the foam to touch a polishing surface at the same time.
