I’ve used Monkey Pads and the velocity pads sold by Stonecare Central and I see no difference. Spinergy claims that their pads will do 10,000 sq ft, and works on 98% percent of all stone restoration jobs. There offering free restoration seminars, and there encouraging cleaning companies to add stone restoration as part of their services. According to Spinergy hard surfaces are replacing carpet, and warning cleaning companies that if they don’t offer stone restoration services they will not be able to survive. The pads are a part of a strategy to get cleaning companies to offer stone restoration, if you make it look simple and profitable they want in. The cleaning business is much more organized then the hand-full of professional stone restoration companies around the country. Very few states require licensing ……. anyone can hang out a shingle and call themselves a stone restoration company. True resins do produce a superior finish, the pads just make things a little easier …...

These look like the HTC twister pads, repackaged, made for concrete. I have used the CPS Spinflex pads, a little harder (rigid) pad and they are great for limestone or travertine, cleaning and making a nice finish. If you try to do any real honing it will have a funky finish. These are best for a final honed finish, med or high, not for any kind of polish, or for dense stone.

I've seen the product of these diamond encrusted pads and its pales in comparison to using true resin based 3" pads. These pads lack the hardness necessary to remove scratches that a 220 or even 400 resin can. Therefore, clarity is compromised as a result. Some clients may call it passible and provide you a check but others will not accept the lackluster results. If I were you I wouldn't take the chance. Go with what ya know will work.

Subject: [sccpartners] Have you heard of this?I came across this product that I think is kind of odd. http://www.monkeypads.com/admin/
I think they sell for $350 a set. Why would anybody use these over honing pads and polishing powders?
Thanks all!
