Question 3

how many pads come in the box?

Accepted Answer

There were 3 pads in the package I ordered. Each pad is about 6"x 9" They've lasted a while for me so far. Seems like you get a lot of life out of them.

Question 4

Will this remove surface level rust off of high carbon steel of varrying finish levels? also I don't want to leave scratching on anything

Accepted Answer

The Ultra-Brite is a finish grade and will not scratch polished steel.  I use it (sometimes accompanied by a little WD-40) to remove surface rust from my hand tools and Steel or cast-iron machine surfaces.  It does an excellent job and leaves no marks on the surface.
