They are just like any other resin diamond maintenance pad.  They are also overpriced and over stated.
Klindex Soft Diamond Maintenance pads are just as good and only cost around £90 a set.  It can depend on what stone you are working on as well and there are many better solutions.

We are currently trialling a 4 stage system.

Steps 1 & 2 use 3x6" resin bonded abrasives then steps 3 & 4 use a coated pad that looks like a twister/kgs pad on steroids.

200m2 job and they don't show any signs of wear and results were amazing.

They are purely a polishing system though and not suitable for grinding or lip age removal.

You should try the New Klindex Soft Diamond Pads mate!  They are brilliant and you can buy nearly 5 sets of them for the price of 1 set of Cheetah Pads.

They certainly looked impressive when you showed me them.

I have diamond pads coming out my ears just now but will definatley get round to getting some in along with a few grits of your honing powder in the near future.
