This is the Weha 4 inch Donkey Quartz Face Polish Surface Polishing Pad – 6000 Grit. The Weha “Donkey” Pads are 4″ Velcro backed Quartz Face, surface polishing pads designed specifically to repair the surface of quartz, engineered stone polishing pads. The Weha Donkey Quartz Surface Polishing Pads will blend the texture of the polish to make it match perfectly with the rest of the top.

Outstanding for quartz scratch repair, blending seams, even polishing edges. While these will not remove a deep scratch in quartz-based engineered stone, once you have removed the scratch these pads work great for bringing back the color, the gloss, and the texture.
