Product Overview

The Tork Craft Medium Pad 6″ is a high-performance foam polishing pad sized at 150 mm (6 inch) that strikes the ideal balance between control and coverage. Designed for mid-level paint correction and polishing tasks, this pad is perfect for enthusiasts and professionals alike who want dependable results without excessive aggression.

Key Features

• 150 mm (6″) diameter: Offers sufficient surface area for efficient polishing while still being manoeuvrable on tighter panels and curved surfaces.

• Medium-density foam construction: Engineered to provide a moderate cut — more aggressive than typical finishing pads, but gentler than heavy-cut options. This makes it ideal for removing light to moderate imperfections (swirls, fine scratches) and preparing the surface for the final finishing stage.

• Hook & loop (Velcro) backing: Fast and secure attachment to compatible backing plates ensures easy pad changes and reliable pad retention during use.

• Versatile compatibility: Works with dual-action and random orbital polishers when used with the correct backing plate and machine speed.

• Reusable and durable: With proper care (cleaning after use, storing flat) this pad will provide repeatable performance over many jobs.

Benefits & Why It Stands Out

• Efficient correction without excessive risk: The medium density foam allows you to safely remove moderate surface defects without the risk of heavy-cut pad “over-work”. Great for users who want effective results but minimise the margin for error.

• Time-saving coverage: The 6″ size covers more area than smaller pads, making your workflow quicker while still offering refined control.

• Makes finishing easier: By removing light to moderate defects and leaving a smooth, refined surface, it sets up the final finishing stage to deliver outstanding clarity and gloss.

• Ideal for a wide audience: Whether you’re a DIY car detailer upgrading your kit, a professional mobile detailer, or working on paint correction in a workshop, this pad is a smart mid-tier tool.

Typical Specifications

• Diameter: ~150 mm (6″)

• Density: Medium foam (designed for intermediate correction)

• Backing: Hook & loop (Velcro) type

• Usage: Compatible with standard 6″ backing plates (ensure machine supports 6″ pad size)

• Application: Polishing, refining paint surfaces, preparing for final finishing stage.

Usage Tips

• Before use: Ensure the paint surface is thoroughly cleaned, dried and decontaminated (wash, clay bar, etc) to avoid embedding debris into the pad.

• Application: Mount the pad securely, work with your polisher at a moderate speed (refer to your machine’s spec), apply polish to the pad, and work in small overlapping passes.

• Monitor your results: After each section, wipe off residue with a clean microfiber towel to check progress. If heavy defects persist, you may need a heavy-cut pad before switching to this medium pad.

• After polishing with the medium pad: Clean the foam pad (warm soapy water, rinse, allow to fully dry) before storing. A well-maintained pad delivers better longevity.

• Final step: Use a finishing pad (softer foam) after this medium pad to bring out maximum gloss and clarity.

Ideal For

• Car-care enthusiasts who have moved beyond hand-polishing and want one tool to handle moderate paint correction.

• Detailers who regularly perform paint correction on vehicles with light to moderate swirl marks, haze or micro-scratches.

• Workshops working on repainted panels where the paint is in good condition but needs enhancement.

• Users who want one pad that offers more cut than a finishing pad, but less aggressive than a compounding pad.
