Those precharged pads work pretty darn well in my opinion. I'm on my third one now. I'm guesstimating they last through approximately 200 cabs...or thereabouts. I probably could've changed mine sooner than I did. I got mine from eBay. They're listed as 3M Polishing Film. Cerium Oxide. 0.5micron. (50 pack) 6"x6". Jason, did you just attach these to the side flat lap that came with your machine, on the foam backing that was already there? Did you remove the original pre-charged pad? Did you use up your original pad and got these to replace it or were you looking for an upgrade? I just slapped it on the foam backing that was already there. I did remove the original pad...carefully. I have two disks that go on that end...I used up both pads. I put hundreds of cabs over each pad before I needed to replace them. This is a very affordable "alternative" - or substitute for the original!

Remember though...I've been making a TON more cabs than the average person...so each of these pads has gotten 100s of cabs polished on them before I changed them out.
