Overview
A white 5.5 inch foam polishing pad for light-to-medium correction, sized for 5 inch backing plates and meant to remove fine swirls and light oxidation rather than heavy paint defects.
Chemical Guys colors its pad line by correction level, and white sits in the lighter-duty middle: heavier swirls call for the orange pad, and pure finishing or wax application calls for the black pad. This one is the refinement step, best paired with the brand's V36 or V38 polish.
- Light-to-medium correction foam pad
- Sized 5.5 inches for 5 inch backing plates
- Washable and reusable across sessions
- Designed to pair with v36 and v38 polish
Who it's for
Detailers running a 5 inch dual-action or rotary polisher who need a light-correction step for fine swirls and water spots. Not the pad for heavy oxidation or deep scratches, which need the orange pad first.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Fits standard 5 inch backing plates
- Reusable and washable between sessions
- Pairs with v36 or v38 polish for a refined finish
- Extra edge coverage helps on curved panels
- Not meant for heavy swirls or oxidation
- Only fits 5 inch backing plates
- Needs proper washing between uses to stay effective
Performance notes
The foam cell structure is designed to hold and work polish evenly across the pad face while staying gentle enough not to add new marring. Hand or machine washing between sessions is meant to keep that foam structure intact, since a matted pad loses the finish quality it's built to deliver over repeated uses.
