SPTA 7-Pc 5-Inch Polishing Pad Set — Foam, Wool & Microfiber Pads for DA/Rotary Polishers

SPTA 7-piece 5-inch polishing pad set is a versatile assortment of foam, wool and microfiber pads engineered to cut, refine and finish automotive paint with DA, rotary and orbital polishers.

This kit gathers targeted cutting and finishing surfaces so you can take paint from heavy sanding marks to high-gloss without swapping brands. Included are a moderate-cut blue foam, an ultra-fine red finishing foam, three short-nap Australian wool heavy-cut pads, a gray microfiber fast-cut pad and a white microfiber finishing pad. Each pad has hook-and-loop backing, washable materials and a beveled-edge design for safer, more consistent contact with panels.

How do these pads handle heavy defects and sanding marks?

The three wool heavy-cut pads and the gray microfiber fast-cut pad are made for aggressive material removal. Use them with a heavy-cut compound to tackle 1200–2000 grit sanding marks, deep oxidation or orange peel before switching to finer pads.

• Three wool pads: short-nap Australian wool for robust cutting power
• Gray microfiber pad: 3-in-1 fast-cut design for orbital polishers
• Suitable for rotary and DA polishers when paired with heavy-cut compound

Which pads deliver swirl-free gloss and final finishing?

The T10 red ultra-fine foam and the T20 polyester nano microfiber finishing pad are formulated for swirl reduction and high gloss. They remove car-wash scratches, holograms and fine imperfections while boosting clarity and wet-looking shine.

• Red T10 foam: ultra-fine, swirl-free finish compatible with finish polish
• White microfiber finishing pad: nano-fiber surface for hologram reduction
• Works well on DA polishers to produce a showroom-quality reflection

Will these pads fit my polisher and are they durable?

Each pad features hook-and-loop backing and a dual-diameter bevel—6-inch front face with a 5-inch rear plate fit—so they attach to most backing plates and resist surface marring. Open-cell foam, reinforced wool stitching and quality microfiber provide washability and multi-car lifespan under normal use.

• Beveled-edge design reduces pad and plate abrasion
• Washable, reusable materials withstand DA, RO and rotary shear forces
• Compatible with standard hook-and-loop backing plates and compounds

How should I pair pads with compounds and polishing steps?

Start with the wool or gray microfiber pads and a heavy-cut compound to remove defects, then move to the blue moderate-cut foam with medium-cut compound for refinement. Finish with the red foam or white microfiber pad and a finishing polish for gloss and clarity.

• Step 1: Wool/microfiber + heavy-cut compound for deep defects
• Step 2: Blue T60 foam + medium-cut compound for leveling
• Step 3: Red T10 or white T20 + finishing compound for shine

Who this set is for: Detailers, hobbyists and professional technicians who need a compact, multi-stage pad kit that covers heavy cutting through final finishing will appreciate this SPTA assortment. It’s suited for paint correction on cars, motorcycles and painted surfaces where you want predictable removal rates, easy pad changes and pads that can be cleaned and reused between jobs.
