ABSTRACT:
A resurfacer for resurfacing a working surface of a foam pad used for polishing auto finishes, in particular, includes a base having a support surface for supporting a polishing pad while it is being driven by a polisher power unit with which the polishing pad is used for the actual polishing operation. The base surface has an abrading section made of, preferably, partially perforated thin steel so that sharp corners protrude a selected height above the base surface and a guide fence for guiding the polishing pad as it is moved across the abrading pad so that it is held true and square, until the polishing pad is provided with a new flat and square working surface. The support surface is of size so that it will support the entire polishing pad while the abrading pad has a width slightly more than one-half the diameter of the polishing pad so that the polishing pad is stably held and can be made true and flat. The surface of the abrading pad is much like a grater that is used for grating vegetables, as disclosed, but can be any desired abrasive material.
