SPTA 6" (150mm) Polishing Pad Kit — 6-Piece Foam & Microfiber Set for DA/Orbital Polishers, Color-Coded Cutting to Finishing

SPTA's 6" (150mm) polishing pad kit is a multi-step foam and microfiber pad set designed for compounding, polishing and finishing with 6" backing plate orbital and dual-action polishers.

This 6-inch, six-piece combo includes five color-graded foam pads plus a microfiber finishing disc, engineered to take a scratched, oxidized or dull finish through cutting, refining and waxing stages. The pads use a high-density German-style foam that resists breakdown under dual-action and rotary shear, while the hook-and-loop backing keeps each pad securely attached to a 150mm backing plate. They are washable and reusable, giving you a cost-effective polishing kit for cars, motorcycles, boats and even furniture surfaces.

How do these pads handle heavy compounding and scratch removal?

The set includes firmer pads intended for compounding that deliver higher cutting power without shredding. Color-coded foam densities help you choose the right aggressiveness for oxidation, water spots or light-to-moderate scratches. Use them progressively — start with the firmer pad and step down to softer pads for refining.

• Included firmer pads for cutting and oxidation removal
• High-shear resistant foam prevents pad collapse under DA/RO polishers
• Hook-and-loop backing secures pads to 150mm backing plates
• Washable construction lets you reuse pads for multiple jobs

Which pad should I pick for polishing and removing swirl marks?

Softer foam pads in the kit are tuned for refining the surface and diminishing swirl marks after compounding. Once heavy defects are reduced, switch to mid-soft and soft pads with a polishing polish to blend and remove haze and micro-scratches, leaving a more uniform shine.

• Mid-soft (orange/blue) pads for polishing and swirl removal
• Use with finishing polish to reduce haze and enhance gloss
• Smaller, controlled passes reduce heat buildup and prevent pad glazing
• Follow with the microfiber finishing disc for streak-free results

What is the microfiber finishing pad used for and when do I wax?

The included microfiber buffing pad is intended as the final step: it lifts leftover compound, polishes off residues and helps apply or remove liquid wax/sealant for a smooth, consistent finish. After refining with foam pads, work the microfiber disc at low speed to reveal maximum gloss and to apply protection evenly.

• Microfiber disc removes residue and refines finish
• Ideal for applying or removing liquid wax and sealants
• Gentle on clearcoat—designed for finishing passes at low RPMs
• Machine-washable so it stays effective over multiple uses

How durable and compatible are these pads with different polishers?

SPTA engineered these pads using a durable German-style foam formula that tolerates the shear forces of random orbital and dual-action polishers without falling apart. The universal 6" (150mm) size pairs with common backing plates, and the hook-and-loop interface makes swap-outs fast during a multi-step job.

• Constructed from long-lasting, washable foam for multiple cars
• Designed for DA, RO and many rotary/dual-action polishers when used appropriately
• Hook-and-loop backing for stable attachment to 150mm plates
• Color-coded hardness scale for consistent, repeatable results

Who this is for: This SPTA pad set is aimed at DIY detailers, mobile detail businesses and hobbyists who need a simple, complete polishing workflow in one kit. If you work on cars, motorcycles, boats or painted furniture and want reusable pads that cover cutting, polishing and finishing, this six-piece 6" set gives versatility, durability and a straightforward progression from defect removal to a protective finish.
