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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these pads handle heavy compounding and scratch removal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncluded firmer pads for cutting and oxidation removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-shear resistant foam prevents pad collapse under DA\/RO polishers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHook-and-loop backing secures pads to 150mm backing plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWashable construction lets you reuse pads for multiple jobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich pad should I pick for polishing and removing swirl marks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSofter foam pads in the kit are tuned for refining the surface and diminishing swirl marks after compounding.
