Hi all,

I was looking to see if anyone knew much about the difference between the two pads? Thanks!

ORIGINAL 5.5 x 1.25 Inch Hydro-Tech Tangerine Ultra Polishing Foam Pad

Thanks in advance!

Thank you, Mike! Appreciate the reply.

I was typing from my phone at the end of a long day yesterday, so kind of a brief answer.

Here's the deal, closed cell foam has less tensile strength compared to open cell foam. This shows up to you as foam that tears more easily and wears out faster.

Me?

I'm an open cell foam kind of guy.
