Autolock 6" Buffing Polishing Pads 6-Pack 165mm Face for 6" Backing Plate — Foam & Wool, Washable Durable

Autolock 6" Buffing Polishing Pads: a six-piece set of 165mm face sponge and wool pads designed to fit 6" backing plates for compounding, polishing, and finishing tasks.

These Autolock pads combine open-cell foam and wool construction to deliver controlled product retention, improved heat dissipation, and secure hook-and-loop attachment for DA, rotary, and random orbital polishers. The set mixes cutting, polishing, and finishing pads so you can move from paint correction to final gloss without switching pad systems. Built for reuse, each pad is washable and engineered to resist deformation under high-speed polishing.

How do these pads perform on heavy paint correction?

The set includes a heavy-cut orange pad specifically for aggressive removal of oxidation and moderate scratches, while the foam profile helps stabilize cutting action on rotary and dual-action tools. You’ll get efficient material removal without excessive pad breakup when used with the right compound.

• Contains an aggressive orange heavy-cut pad for oxidation and moderate scratches
• Open-cell foam limits compound fling and maintains consistent contact
• Durable construction withstands high shear from DA and rotary polishers

Can I use these pads on both DA and rotary polishers?

Yes — the pads were designed to be compatible with common electric buffers including dual-action (DA) polishers, rotary machines, air polishers, and random orbital sanders. Hook-and-loop backing makes swapping pads fast and secure, and the pad thickness helps protect the paint while delivering effective polishing torque.

• Fits 6" (150mm) backing plates with a 165mm face diameter
• Works with DA, rotary, and random orbital polishers
• Hook-and-loop interface for quick changes and reliable retention

What cleaning and reuse routine keeps pads performing longer?

Cleaning is simple: rinse pads with clean water after use and allow them to dry naturally, or use a dedicated pad cleaning brush for faster results. The materials are washable and built to last multiple vehicle detail jobs, making them economical for hobbyists and pros alike.

• Rinse with water and air dry; avoid high-heat dryers
• Use a pad-cleaning brush to remove built-up compound
• Constructed for multiple uses—expect several car jobs per pad

Why is the two-size design (165mm face / 150mm back) useful?

The slightly larger face relative to the backing plate reduces edge contact and minimizes accidental pad-plate rubbing, which protects paint edges and lowers abrasion on both the pad and polishing plate. That dimensional choice also allows broader compound coverage per pass for more efficient polishing.

• 165mm face diameter with a 150mm back to limit pad-plate overlap
• Reduced risk of edge scratching and pad abrasion during work
• Wider compound spread per rotation for faster, even coverage

Who this is for: Detailers, car enthusiasts, and small-body shops looking for a versatile pad kit to handle compounding, polishing, and finishing without changing pad systems. If you use DA or rotary tools and want washable, heat-dissipating pads that lock in compound and stand up to repeated use, this Autolock 6-piece set provides a practical, cost-effective solution.
