Description:
This 7-inch polishing pad kit from SPTA brings a set of interchangeable pads and a backing plate for car care tasks such as waxing, polishing and sealing, helping hobbyists and detailers get a smoother finish with less effort. The selection of foam densities and included wool and microfiber pads allow you to address oxidation, orange peel, and light to heavy scratches according to the task at hand.
Key Points
The kit includes nine pieces designed to work with 5/8"-11 threaded polishers and most standard dual-action or rotary tools. Foam pads are made from open-cell material to improve airflow and reduce heat buildup during longer polishing runs. The combination of cutting, finishing, wool, and microfiber surfaces gives flexibility across compounding and final polishing steps, while the backing plate makes swapping pads quick and secure. Consider that heavy cutting on deep defects may require multiple passes or a more aggressive compound depending on the paint condition.
Technical Specifications
- Name: SPTA 9Pcs Polishing Pads Kit
- Pad diameter: 7 inches
- Backing thread: 5/8"-11
- Materials: open-cell foam, wool, microfiber
- Kit contents: 5 foam pads (various hardnesses), 1 wool pad, 2 microfiber pads, 1 heavy-cut to finish pad, 1 threaded backing plate
Usage Recommendations
Start with the more aggressive foam or wool pad for paint correction, using moderate compound and light, controlled pressure to avoid overheating. Then switch to the softer foam or microfiber pads for refining and applying sealant or glaze. Washable construction allows rinsing with clean water and air drying for reuse, which helps keep costs down over repeated jobs. For orbital machines use lower speeds when applying polish and increase speed only if the surface and pad remain cool to the touch.
Positive Aspects
The varied pad hardness in the set improves contact with contoured panels and reduces pad skid, which helps produce more even results across doors and fenders. The waffle-style foam face retains polish and reduces sling during buffing. According to the manufacturer, the pads are reusable after proper cleaning, and the backing plate lets you attach them firmly to both pneumatic and electric polishers.
