SPTA 3-Pack Green T120 Heavy-Cut Foam Polishing Pads, 5.5 inch

Why the pad design matters

Heavy-cut foam pads for removing sanding marks, scratches, oxidation and swirl marks on paintwork and other compatible surfaces.

These SPTA heavy-cut foam pads are aimed at more demanding correction work, where you need to work down sanding marks, deeper scratches, overspray, orange peel and heavy oxidation before moving on to finer polishing stages.

The 5.5 inch sponge size is paired with a backing plate size of 125mm, and the pads use a hook-and-loop backing for quick changes on a compatible car buffer or rotary polisher. The green T120 foam is described as a heavy-cut pad, so it suits compound work rather than light finishing.

• The grooved face is intended to hold excess polish and abrasives while helping air move through the pad.
• That airflow is meant to reduce heat build-up during use.
• The high-density polyurethane sponge is described as flexible, breathable and durable.
• The hook-and-loop backing is there to make pad changes quicker and keep the pad securely in place.

Typical jobs this pad is made for

• Removing sanding marks from 1200/1500 grit work
• Cutting back deeper scratches and oxidation
• Dealing with swirl marks, overspray and orange peel
• Working with compound before polishing or waxing

Care and use notes

• Clear out excess abrasive build-up during use.
• Clean the pad after use.
• Do not use solvents or alkaline cleaners when cleaning it.

Sold as a 3-pack, this set is a straightforward choice for anyone who wants a heavy-cut foam pad ready for compounding work on paint and similar surfaces where a more aggressive pad is needed.
