Overview
A detailing bench with a dual-action polisher gets a soft white foam pad that refines swirls and carries polish across the paint. It is sized for five inch backing plates.
A light-medium pad falls between heavy cutting and pure finishing, refining swirls and water spots while spreading polish for gloss. The limitation is data quality, because the grit number, material and compatible material entries do not describe a foam pad, and no compound or speed advice is given.
Who it's for
A hobbyist or professional doing the polishing stage after cutting. Look elsewhere for deep defect removal, or for rotary setups with other plate sizes.
Pros and cons
- Soft foam for refining
- Applies polish for gloss
- Fits dual-action polishers
- Targets water spots and light oxidation
- Grit and material fields look wrong
- Compound pairing not listed
- Maximum speed unstated
- Single pad per pack
Performance notes
A softer, lighter-cut foam removes a thinner layer than a cutting pad, so it refines instead of correcting deep defects. It works best as a second stage after cutting. Pad speed, pressure and compound choice are not specified.
