Default Self Center Hex Pads, from Chemical Guys

Anyone ever tried these? I think these are new from the CG line up, might pick some up and see. My question is, does this engineering relate to the Kompressor Pads?

" The Hexagon is not new to science, it’s just new to detailing. Rather then try to reinvent some catchy gimmick, Chemical Guys invests in technology that through the years has simply been unbeatable and improves on it. Hex-Logic pads are designed to hold product and distribute it evenly over the surface of the pad, delivering a superior even finish that is hard to achieve with any other pad.

Nature selected the Hexagon for storage and designed it to be one of the most efficient holding cells. For example a mass of hexagonal wax cells built by honey bees in their nests to store honey and pollen. The bees build the comb with 6 sides for even distribution of product fast and effectively.

Buffing pad Hex Logic Hex-logicHex-logic Pads are laser cut perfect every time to guarantee that every pads use is extremely efficient.

These pads are engineered, designed and manufactured 100% in the California USA."

I had some of these. Adam's sells them with their logo on the back (imagine that..lol)

You use more product filling the pad up than you do on the car, a real waste of product.

Seems to me that the self-centering thing would only work if you're using exactly the right backing plate. 3M UK backing plate? Probably not so much.

I've also seen these sold as "Buff-n-Shine" brand pads. Majestic Solutions has some on the shelf. I'll stick with my 3M UK pads.

When you see products like this, it means pads are a commodity and everyone is looking for a way to standout to eek out some profit by being different.
