The 5\/8\" low-profile design improves energy transfer for faster correction, and the lightweight construction reduces user fatigue during longer jobs. Sold as a set of two 6.5\" pads, they fit large backing plates and are intended for broad surface correction—ideal for hoods, doors, and full-panel restoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these pads remove deep scratches and severe swirl marks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BOSS pads use ultra-firm euro foam that resists collapse under pressure, keeping abrasive contact consistent across the pad face.
