NOT familiar with what a Reflection Artist™ is? If so, let’s begin with the Merriam-Webster definition of both words:
Re-flec-tion (noun) |
· The production of an image by or as if by a mirror.
|
· An image given back by a reflecting surface.
|
Art-ist (noun) |
· A person skilled at a particular task or occupation.
|
Reflection Artist (noun) -
a person skilled at the particular task of producing a mirror-like, reflective image on painted surfaces. This term began with discussions between longtime Buff and Shine Sales Manager and “Pad Guru” Julio Mondragon and Buff and Shine’s Lead Global Consultant Justin Labato, who officially brought to life the term
Reflection Artist™ on July 18
th, 2016. These two words quickly snow-balled into not just a cool buzz word, but the beginning of an actual brand culture. Justin’s idea was to utilize a select few pads that were in the existing URO Pad Lineup, as well as the development of some new and innovative pads to create – The Reflection Artist Pad Line. This new and innovatively developed pad combination can be simply defined as an ALL-IN-ONE pad system that can accommodate all machines, all buffing systems as well as all skillsets……from Novice to Professional.
So what are the advantages of this new ALL-IN-ONE pad line?
-
Will work with all DA and RA tools available in the market today – Gear driven, free-spinning, short throw and long throw machines from any manufacturer. So no need to purchase new machines to get amazing finishes!
-
Will also work with all the numerous paint systems currently available in the industry. So no need to change your favorite compound/polish combinations.
- This pad line also caters to all skill set levels…. from novice to professional. A daily professional to a weekend warrior can utilize this pad system to achieve mirror-like paint surfaces every time!
NEW Grey Uro-Wool™ Blend pad Buff and Shine Manufacturing is excited to introduce our second wool member to the “Uro Wool” pad line. The Uro-Wool Blended pad is a step below our 100% white wool pad in aggressiveness and enhanced with a proprietary wool blend. This pad is specifically designed to cut but leave a better finish than our white Uro-Wool.
The Uro-Wool Blended pad uses a blend of processed wool that is “knitted” onto the pad, not twisted. The biggest advantage of knitted wool is the minimal amount of lint floating around the shop! The face of the knitted wool pad is soft to the touch but slightly denser because of the proprietary blend. The blend consists of a process different than our white Uro-Wool pad keeping the fibers fused together which helps keep product more on the face of the pad. Product will still be absorbed but at a different rate than the white Uro-Wool being a more versatile wool pad.
You will also notice that the Uro-Wool pad has virtually no interface between the wool fiber pad face and the hook-and-loop backing material. This allows the power of the polisher and the movement of the technician to transfer more directly and actively to the paint surface, resulting in faster polishing and correction cycles.
Uro-Wool can be used with all polishing machines—simple rotary, dual-action, random-orbit, long-throw, high-action, gear-driven. The pads are available in 6”, 5”, and 3” widths.
To clean Uro-Wool pads, use compressed air or an appropriate pad brush. You can also use a mechanical pad washer or wash them by hand.

Uro-Fiber™ micro fiber pad
If you like the overall performance and versatility of Buff and Shine’s Uro-Fiber pads (with the “black and white” fibers), but you felt like you needed just a bit more fine-finishing capability, then you will appreciate Uro-Fiber Finisher Pads. Buff and Shine listened to the feedback from end-users of Uro-Fiber pads and engineered a new microfiber pad with a standard pile height and shorter profile that provides great finishing results, especially on softer paints.
It is still possible to cut and finish with the Uro-Fiber Finisher pads, but most technicians will prefer to have the one-two punch we like to call “The Uro-Fiber Twins”. Start with the versatility of the Uro-Fiber pads for cutting and polishing, then bring the paint to an amazing finish with the Uro-Fiber Finisher.
One of Buff and Shine Manufacturing’s most successful pad launch was by far our Uro-Fiber pads (with the “black and white” fibers). Customer feedback stated that just a bit more fine-finishing capability may be needed on certain paints, so we developed the Uro-Fiber Finisher Pads. Buff and Shine listened to the feedback from end-users of Uro-Fiber pads and engineered a new microfiber pad with a standard pile height and shorter profile that provides great finishing results, especially on softer paints.

The foam pads chosen for the
Reflection Artist Lineup were selected from our
URO Tec category of pads.
Uro-Tec pads are made with high-quality reticulated (
open cell) euro foam with a higher density that will reduce pad softening that some technicians experience during heavy use with their machines. This is because the open cell construction helps to disperse heat during use. The perfect balance of these pads reduces vibration and pad "hopping", which leads to superior contact with the polishing surface, which increases polishing efficiency.
Although all Buff and Shine's Uro-Tec pads will work great with virtually any polisher, the 3 pads selected for the
Reflection Artist Line are especially favored to be used with
any DA polishers and used with
any paint systems chosen. These
Uro-Tec pads are perfectly balanced for any types of polishers or polishing systems, hence a perfect addition of foam pads to be added. These pads are
- URO Tec maroon – medium cut, NEWLY DESIGNED dark blue heavy polish and yellow polish/finish.
