Polishing Pads

Polishing Pads

Product Overview

Foam / Wool / Microfiber Pads with Defined Cut Levels and Stable Interface
Cutting, Polishing & Finishing Pads for Paint, Metal and Clearcoat Systems

Three main pad families:

  • Foam pads: widest range from cut to finish, excellent gloss control;
  • Wool pads: strongest cut and high correction speed for heavy defects;
  • Microfiber pads: combines good cut with strong finishing, popular for modern clearcoat.

Most pads are hook & loop mounted and classified into cutting / polishing / finishing levels.

Product Description

Product Positioning

The “Effect Multiplier” in Polishing—Controls Cut, Gloss and Heat

Polishing pads are core consumables in polishing systems for automotive paint/clearcoat, cosmetic metals, and coated surfaces—used for defect correction, gloss enhancement, and final finishing. Pads do not merely “shine”; they work with compounds to form a cut–refine–finish process chain.
With the same compound, pad material/structure/hardness directly determine cut rate, scratch control, gloss, heat build-up and burn risk, and finish consistency.

Key Features

Cut Control, Heat Management and Finish Consistency
  • Controlled cut levels: from heavy correction to high-gloss finishing.
  • Heat management: via material/structure to reduce burn/discoloration risk.
  • Consistent gloss: with stable density and structure to reduce haze/streaking.
  • Broad compatibility: with compounds, backing pad hardness, and machine orbit types.

Processing Logic

Pad + Compound + Machine = A Controlled Abrasive System

Polishing is not “more pressure = more shine”; it is system matching:

  • Pad controls contact mechanics (shear/wipe/micro-cut);
  • Compound controls abrasive stage (cut/refine/finish);
  • Machine controls motion and heat (rotary = faster but hotter; DA = safer but slower).
    Proper combinations deliver correction and gloss with minimal heat and secondary haze.

Machine Compatibility

DA/RO vs Rotary—Pad Choice Changes
  • DA/RO: safer with less hologram risk; microfiber or medium foam for correction, soft foam for finishing.
  • Rotary: faster but hotter; wool for heavy cut, foam for refinement/finishing—requires tighter heat control.
  • Backing pad matters: pad hardness amplifies or softens cut; for edges/contours, use softer backing pads.

Typical Applications & Industries

Automotive, Coatings and Cosmetic Metals
  • Automotive paint: scratch correction, oxidation removal, gloss enhancement and finishing
  • Clearcoat/baked paint: haze removal and mirror finish improvement
  • Stainless/aluminum cosmetics: post-refinement polishing for uniform reflection
  • Industrial coatings: defect correction and appearance optimization

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Range & Recommended Use

One-Line Selection + Typical Pad Stacks
  • Heavy defects: wool cutting + heavy compound → foam polishing + medium compound → soft foam finishing + finishing polish
  • Medium defects: microfiber or medium foam polishing + medium compound → soft foam finishing
  • High-end finishing: soft foam finishing + finishing polish (low pressure/speed, heat control)

Customization (OEM & ODM)

Material, Cut Level, Shape and Private Label Programs

OEM/ODM supported:

Material family (foam/wool/microfiber), cut-level grading, diameter/thickness, flat/waffle/tapered edge designs, color coding, hook & loop backing and bonding system, packaging and private label kits (cut–polish–finish sets) to match different markets and machine systems.

Why Choose Us

Stable Density and Cut Level = Predictable Results and Less Rework

What matters most is predictability:

Stable density, clear cut-level grading, and structural consistency deliver repeatable correction and gloss across batches and stations. We engineer for batch stability and provide OEM/ODM grading and kit programs to reduce haze, holograms, and rework.

Usage & Storage Recommendations

Clean Pads, Control Heat, Avoid Cross-Contamination
  • Heat control first: avoid high pressure and dwelling; edges are burn-prone—reduce speed/pressure and keep moving
  • Separate pads by stage: do not mix cutting/polishing/finishing pads to avoid cross-contamination and haze
  • Clean regularly: brush/blow residue during use to prevent caking and scratching
  • Storage: keep dry, shaded, and flat; avoid heat/solvents that age materials and weaken bonding
