I've not heard of them.  It says that they are for cleaning scuff marks off interior panels - I could do with something that does that.

Yerh Similar material to Polishing pads, however interior panels don't have the ability to buffed shiny, i suppose it depends on how deep the scratches are...

I think I've phrased this badly. I have access to A LOT of offcuts of this stuff. I want offload LOTS of it in large amounts (van fulls) for a nominal amount to someone who can use them as cleaning products or whatever.

Used something similar to get all the bike marks off the painted walls of a flat we rented, for some reason when I own the walls I just let them get scruffy!

They're basically lightly abrasive. So they will take a bit of pain/ clear coat off.

I've used them around the house but they work by removing the surface of area being rubbed.

They're definitely not magic!

Used to use them at work for cleaning up scuff marks and such like.

Mate took one and tried to clean the bonnet on the van. Left loads of scratches.

Ah, if it's light abrasive could use it to buff the degraded fibreglass on my caravan, I was going to T-Cut it. I think algae is living in it because it reappears a week after washing it.

These are very good at removing scratch and scuff marks from sanitaryware.
