Claim Text:
1. A double-sided buffing pad comprising: a backing plate comprising a central opening for attaching the same to a drive shaft or spindle of a power buffer; a layer of fibrous buffing medium positioned along each side of the backing plate with the fibrous buffing medium extending outwardly from the backing plate, the fibrous buffing medium comprising innermost strands proximate the central opening; a block of material, different from the fibrous buffing medium, on each side of the backing plate positioned between the innermost strands and the central opening and having an aperture therethrough in alignment with the central opening, the block of material preventing the innermost strands from entering the central opening when the drive shaft or spindle of the power buffer is inserted into the central opening wherein the innermost strands would otherwise be permitted to enter the central opening, thereby preventing the innermost strands from interfering with attachment of the buffing pad to a power buffer.
