Weha Donkey Pads

The Weha "Donkey" Pads are 4" Velcro backed Quartz face surface polishing pads designed specifically to repair the surface of quartz and engineered stone.

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. The Weha Donkey pads also work incredibly well on repairing marble etch marks and resurfacing marble counters for repair.

The Weha Donkey Quartz polishing pads is a diamond sponge system that holds a lot of water. This works amazing when doing repair work inside a home where water is limited.

How to use the Weha Donkey Quartz Face Polishing Pads:

To remove a scratch out of a quartz surface:
Start with the Weha Trio 3 step pads using a the Weha Aluminum Rigid Back up Pad or the Weha Thin Rigid back up pad.

Use all 3 pads, fanning out each grit, using the typical technique used for surface polishing.

After Step 3 start with the Weha Donkey Pad 600 grit, then 1000 grit,then 2000 grit using the same fanning pattern. 1200 RPM or less.

After 2000 grit, dry the surface and see if the finish is matched. If not, continue to the 3000 grit.

Occasionally, depending on the Quartz stone, a 6000 grit may be needed.

If using 7 step diamond polishing pads, bring up to 3000 grit, then start back with the Weha Donkey Pad 600 grit, then 1000 grit,then 2000 grit using the same fanning pattern. 1200 RPM or less.

To remove etch marks out of marble:
Start with the 600g Donkey pad with low rpm, 1800 rpm or less, and work over the area in 30 second increments.
Depending on the marble and gloss, a 1000 grit and 2000 grit maybe necessary
