150mm 6 inch Ultra Soft Red Foam Polishing Pad – Key FAQs
What is an ultra soft red polishing pad best used for?
Ultra soft pads are typically used for final polishing and finishing, helping refine the surface and improve gloss after earlier cutting or polishing stages.
Does this pad fit any polisher?
It fits machines with an M14 x 2 male thread, including many polishers and most angle grinders/sanders, always confirm thread type and suitability before use.
What surfaces can I use it on?
It’s designed for paintwork, plastics, gel coats and similar finishes. Always test on a small area first, especially on delicate or older finishes.
What is the maximum safe speed?
The pad is rated to a maximum of 4600rpm. Do not exceed this speed and always follow your machine and compound/polish guidance.
Is this pad for cutting/compounding?
No, it’s primarily for finishing. For heavier correction or compounding, use a firmer pad designed for cutting stages.
How do I avoid swirl marks when finishing?
Use light pressure, keep the pad flat, avoid dry buffing, and keep the pad moving. Clean the pad regularly during use to prevent residue build-up.
How should I clean the pad after use?
