VaPatentman Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I ordered some "Green" Scotch-Brite pads on line and thought I would be getting #6448 but received kitchen scouring pads instead. They are not the same and are more aggressive than what I usually use. For reference here is a Grit Equivalent Chart For 3M Scotch Brite.

h67st Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 If the two green pads are the same color, they should change one so it's easy to tell which one is which.

I agree, I found out today that the green pads are marketed by two different divisions. The aggressive kitchen scouring pads are consumer division products. But wouldn't it make sense to have two different colors. Most of us just think Scotch-Brite pads are all the same.

MHfred Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I had some bugs on my wind shield the other year that I tried to remove with a blue (?) Scotch Brite pad or something similar. NOT good!! It turns out that pad was for sanding or something else and scratched my windshield terribly. I lived with it for years but recently had to replace it because of cracks.

I learned my lesson a couple of years ago while cleaning some windows I had painted.
