Benefits & Why It Stands Out

• Exceptional gloss enhancement: By using this finishing pad in the last step, you prepare the surface to maximally reflect light, resulting in a show-car shine.

• Low risk of surface damage: The soft foam and finishing specification reduce the chance of burning, haze or pad marks — especially important when you’ve already corrected the paint.

• Efficient workflow: The 6″ size gives you good coverage while still being easy to manoeuvre on curves and panel contours.

• Versatility: Works across various paint systems and with most dual-action or rotary polishers (with the proper backing plate).

• Value-added accessory: If you’ve done the heavy correction, going to this finishing pad makes the results pop — essential for detailers and perfectionists alike.

Usage Tips

1. Surface preparation: Ensure that all heavier defects (swirls, heavy scratches, paint correction) have been addressed before using the finishing pad.

2. Pad mounting: Attach the finishing pad to a clean backing plate (6″) and ensure the pad is firmly secured.

3. Apply finishing compound: Place 2-4 small drops of a premium finishing polish onto the pad.

4. Machine settings: Use low to moderate speed settings (refer to your polisher’s spec). Low pressure is sufficient — let the pad and polish do the work.

5. Polishing technique: Work in small sections, overlapping passes until the polish becomes clear/transparent.

6. Clean-off: Wipe away residue with a soft microfiber towel to reveal your final gloss.

7. Maintenance: After use, clean the pad with warm water and mild soap, rinse well, let fully air dry flat before storing. Proper care extends pad life and ensures consistent performance.

8. Final protective step: After finishing, apply a sealant or wax for protection and to maintain the shine.

Ideal For

• Car detailers or mobile detail services aiming to deliver flawless, high-end finishes.

• Enthusiasts who have progressed beyond basic care and want to refine their vehicle’s paint to a showroom standard.

• Users working on newly painted panels, showroom cars, or high-gloss surfaces where the final finishing step is critical.

• Anyone wanting one pad that’s dedicated to the polish-refinement stage — less aggressive than compounding pads but capable of producing superior clarity.
