worked great. Steel wool can leave fine particles, but this product does not.

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.

Use these every day in my detailing shop. Great quality and much cheaper then 3m

The white pads are very fine, but the next finest (the gray) are a huge step up in coarseness -- not fine at all.

This is the same as Scotch-Bright and works just as well. I cut mine into 3 pieces to cut down on the waste of the pad. Great for cleaning greasy hands too.

I would recommend this fiber paper any day! Excellent product that lasts as long if not longer than 3m

very thorough and useful finishing tool for either metal or wood

Recommend for buffing between coats of poly finish. Flexible and soft so follows contours well unlike sandpaper. A must have part of my woodworking finishing routine.

Not for wood

Dura-Gold is a good product and this kit is a good set to learn what the different colours (grits) will do and where and when they should be used.
