SPTA 3-Piece Orange Light-Cut Foam Polishing Pads, 6.5 inch

SPTA orange light-cut foam polishing pads for 6.5 inch work

A 3-piece set of light-cut foam pads for compounding, polishing and waxing on compatible rotary or DA polishers.

These SPTA foam polishing pads are aimed at light cutting work on paint correction and finishing jobs. The orange pad is described as a medium-cut, light-cut foam pad that can help remove fine scratches, light oxidation and sanding marks, while also being used for waxing and finishing.

The set includes 3 pads and the sponge face is listed at 6.5 inches. The listing also refers to use with a 6 inch, 150mm backing plate, so it is worth checking your machine and backing plate before buying.

What the pad design is meant to do

• The grooved face is intended to hold excess polish and abrasives while helping air move through the pad.
• The high-density polyurethane sponge is described as flexible, breathable and durable for repeated use.
• Hook-and-loop backing makes pad changes quicker on compatible polishers.
• The pad is listed for use with rotary and dual-action car polishers.

Where it may suit your detailing work

• Light paint correction after sanding or machine polishing
• Reducing fine scratches, oxidation and swirl marks
• Waxing and finishing tasks
• Use on cars, boats, glass and other surfaces where a foam pad is appropriate

Cleaning matters with foam pads. The listing advises clearing away excess abrasive build-up during use and cleaning the pad after use. It also says not to use solvents or alkaline cleaners when cleaning it.

Because pad fit and machine compatibility matter, check the backing plate size and the type of polisher you are using before ordering.
