I mostly use this for engine parts carbon remover, cleaning of gasket areas and other mechanical. I used to build race bikes and we used this type material to brush finish titanium frames so I’ve been around different brands a fair bit over several decades. This brand is as rugged as other brands. All of them fall apart fairly quick. The 2 most coarse of these in this kit are very coarse; too coarse for internal engine use unless getting carbon out of ports or something that is a very rough surface as such. The white sheets are the finest. They give an EXTREMELY fine finish. On any metal it will only shine up. The next finest, gray, is what I use for final clean up on internal engine parts, gasket locations, etc… Bottom line, this kit will give you whatever you need in the way of real coarse to real fine. The white is so fine I would consider it to slick up an old pool cue. Worth the money all day long.Update: currently restoring a 1962 Chevy II Nova. Aluminum wheels are from approximately 1970s. Brushed aluminum that has seen better days. This assorted kit works beautifully in restoring wheels beyond brush finish all the way to mirror finish. I use all colors in order from roughest to finest. Gray is the last color I use dry. With the white sheets, I then use Blue Magic metal polish cream to achieve mirror finish. Mother’s works well too.

They are nicely made and perform well. They are just not as abrasive as I had expected. They will clean a surface nicely but they do not function like sand paper.

good quality, stay sharp resaonably long on ecoat ..

I had a little rust on my table saw and on my planer. These pads worked really well, although it does take some elbow grease to remove the rust. The pads do not scratch the metal but they do remove the rust fairly quickly. I am very much satisfied with this product. I also tried using my orbital sander and putting the the sandpaper disk on top of the pad and letting it vibrate to help remove rust. It worked reasonably OK, but just doing it by hand rubbing with the pad seemed to work the best.

Excellent quanity for the price.
