Description:
This set of polishing pads is a kit of foam and microfiber buffing accessories designed for orbital and dual-action polishers, offering a simple way to compound, polish, and wax vehicle and furniture surfaces. It combines durable German-style foam pads with a microfiber finishing disc to tackle oxidation, swirl marks, and light scratches while restoring gloss to paint and headlights.
Key Points
The kit includes five 6 inch (150 mm) foam pads in different colors for varying levels of cut and finish, plus one microfiber finishing pad. The foam pads are washable, reusable, and made to remain stable under the higher cut forces produced by DA and random orbital polishers, according to the manufacturer. The hook-and-loop back secures reliably to a 6 inch backing plate for quick changes between stages of correction and finishing.

How to Use It
Begin with a cutting or compounding pad to remove oxidation and deeper swirl marks, then progress to a polishing pad to refine the surface and reduce haze, finishing with the microfiber disc or the red finishing pad for wax or sealant removal and final gloss. Attach the pad to a clean backing plate with the hook-and-loop side, start the polisher at low speed to seat the pad, and increase speed as needed while keeping the pad flat to avoid uneven wear. Work in small sections and wipe away residues between steps to monitor results.
Advantages
The color-coded foam set gives visual guidance for stages of correction and finishing, which helps speed up workflow when switching between compound and polish steps. The pads are lightweight and easy to mount, and their washable construction means they can be rinsed and reused multiple times, reducing replacement frequency. Consider that heavy contamination or aggressive compounds may shorten pad life, so regular cleaning is recommended during extended use.
