Don't Compound The Problem

FAB Buffing Wheels

Change the way you buff with the innovative Norton FAB (Fixed Abrasive Buff) buffing wheels. Norton FAB wheels feature abrasive grains on both sides of the cloth, virtually eliminating the need for buffing compound and resulting in reduced costs, a safer work environment, and a better finish. Designed to be waterproof and tear resistant, FAB wheels last 35% longer than traditional cotton buffs, allowing for more parts per buff and fewer buff changes.
