What it is?
Our Stitched Buffing Wheels are meticulously designed to provide more compact and closely bound buffing fibers, resulting in a tighter construction as compared to the regular Airway Buffs. This unique stitching method ensures extended durability and heightened stiffness for your buffing wheel, allowing for a more intense and precise polishing experience.
