A pad for finishing polish
Finishing polish is the stage I find almost pleasurable: the paint becomes "bare," and it is the finale of a process that takes hours. What matters at this stage is how well you remove the marks left by earlier steps (buffing marks), and how much gloss you can finish with.

Laser-cut slits for a more beautiful polish
A major feature of this pad is the cut pattern on the side that touches the paint. Cuts in a buffing surface can easily create by-products such as haze and buffing marks. We refined the shape through hundreds of rounds of trial and error, and developed our own shape.

The factory we work with, NW, laser-cuts each piece individually to create this complex pattern. The outer edge of the pad is deliberately flat, which helps reduce haze at the inner radius. The radial cut lines change two things in particular: heat dissipation and sharpness.

To get the most from a finishing compound, controlling surface temperature is the key. Sharpness depends mainly on polisher speed and how you move the polisher. Under the same conditions, the difference between a plain flat pad and this one shows when the compound breaks down so cleanly that you barely need to wipe it off.

Gloss, not "tsuya"
Japanese uses one word for both, but in English the two are very different. "Gloss" comes from the paint surface itself reflecting light. "Shine" or "richness" comes from a film of something applied on top. People who like the bare state achieved by polishing are "gloss" people. People who use compounds or fillers with a lot of oil in the final polish are "shine" people.

We developed this pad with that difference in mind. It is one of the few pads that can finish with gloss in the bare state. Paired with ICHIBAN FINISHING 2.0 -光輝-, you can finish with a bare gloss: the alkaline reduced water in the compound leaves the surface hydrophilic without degreasing.

Special ABS resin layer: more stable, more precise polishing
These pads are not made in Japan. We have worked for about five years with NW, a Chinese company, and developed together a hook-and-loop backing with an ABS resin layer. Japan and China also co-developed an adhesive that resists peeling even above 100°C. The result is a pad that can polish at a point under heat. NW also adjusts the weight of our pads in grams as part of quality control.

BANZAI DYNAMICS approach
Three things matter, and they work together: the polisher itself, the pad's material, thickness and shape, and the compound's properties. We make our products by hand, based on our own experience and testing. Compared with the sharp-cutting style of the Japanese market, ours leans slightly toward a Western polishing character. We hope you will experience BANZAI DYNAMICS with the full combination.
