The type of pad used to buff a floor depends on the floor’s material and the desired result. Here\u2019s a guide to choosing the right pad for floor buffing:<\/p>

Common Buffing Pads by Color and Purpose<\/strong><\/h3>
  1. White Pads (Polishing\/Finishing)<\/strong>
    • Use:<\/strong> For high-gloss polishing on clean, smooth floors.<\/li>\n\n
    • Material:<\/strong> Soft and non-abrasive.<\/li>\n\n
    • Best for:<\/strong> Marble, tile, and vinyl floors when a glossy finish is desired.<\/li><\/ul><\/li>\n\n
    • Red Pads (Light Buffing)<\/strong>
      • Use:<\/strong> For removing light scuff marks and restoring shine.<\/li>\n\n
      • Material:<\/strong> Slightly more abrasive than white pads.<\/li>\n\n
      • Best for:<\/strong> Regular maintenance buffing on a variety of hard floors.<\/li><\/ul><\/li>\n\n
      • Tan Pads (Spray Buffing)<\/strong>
        • Use:<\/strong> For spray buffing with polishing solutions.<\/li>\n\n
        • Material:<\/strong> Similar to red pads but designed for use with spray buffing machines.<\/li>\n\n
        • Best for:<\/strong> Moderate cleaning and shine enhancement.<\/li><\/ul><\/li>\n\n
        • Green Pads (Scrubbing)<\/strong>
          • Use:<\/strong> For light scrubbing to remove dirt and scuff marks before buffing.<\/li>\n\n
          • Material:<\/strong> Medium abrasive.<\/li>\n\n
          • Best for:<\/strong> Preparing floors for refinishing.<\/li><\/ul><\/li>\n\n
          • Black Pads (Stripping)<\/strong>
            • Use:<\/strong> For stripping old wax or finish before refinishing the floor.<\/li>\n\n
            • Material:<\/strong> Highly abrasive and not suitable for buffing.<\/li>\n\n
            • Best for:<\/strong> Deep cleaning or refinishing prep only.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ol>

              Factors to Consider<\/strong><\/h3>
              • Floor Material:<\/strong> Make sure the pad matches the hardness and finish of your floor (e.g., wood, vinyl, tile, or concrete).<\/li>\n\n
              • Machine Speed:<\/strong> Some pads are designed for low-speed machines, while others work better with high-speed or burnishing machines.<\/li>\n\n
              • Desired Outcome:<\/strong> Choose softer pads for polishing and harder pads for cleaning or stripping.<\/li><\/ul>
