Wonder if AG will be carrying these:

From Dodo:

"this new design takes finishing, polishing and cutting pads to the next level, with deep groove ‘blades and channels’ cut into the pad in a chequerplate pattern. Deep channels mean less sling and cooler face temperatures, but the real advantage is the consistency of cut. Whereas plain pads tend to focus the cut in the centre of the pad, these Fin Cut pads allow polishing across (potentially) the whole area… a much wider and consistent cut than you’d normally see, especially with rotary polishers.

it's not just a pretty pad design... some real thought and real world testing has gone into it"

"This shows the cut on Tornado Red solid paint (no clearcoat) on a Mk2 Golf GTi. We used a solid paint so you could see the pigment transfer from the paint more easily. Enhanced, the pic shows how the cut isn't just focused in the centre of the pad, or maybe on the very edge, but more widely spread across the centre with no particular 'hot spots'."

They look and sound interesting to say the least.

Huh? Doesn't that photo look like 95% of the paint is in the center of BOTH pads, or are my eyes playin tricks?
 
Looks interesting to say the least. Not sure how these would perform as a lot of the surface area and structural rigidity is missing.
 
Wow, looking at the design of this pads I can already see one thing, car paints are going to love that nice massage. That's wild. Looking forward for the first reviews. Mike, waiting on you sir.
 
That looks like a flat pad that was chewed on by a dog... Or maybe a Dodo?
