SPTA 3-Piece Green T120 Heavy-Cut Foam Polishing Pads, 6.5 Inch

Built for correction work

Heavy-cut foam pads for compounding, scratch removal and polishing on compatible rotary polishing jobs.

These SPTA foam polishing pads are set up for heavier correction work, where you need a pad that can help with compounding rather than light finishing alone. The T120 heavy-cut design is aimed at removing sanding marks, deeper scratches, overspray, orange peel and heavier oxidation when used with a suitable compound and polisher.

The grooved pad design is intended to hold excess polish and abrasives while also helping air circulate between the pad and paint. That can be useful when working for longer periods, as it helps reduce heat build-up during use.

The pads are made from high-density polyurethane sponge with a Velcro backing for quick changes on the machine. The listing also describes the sponge as having uniform pores, good air permeability and a degree of flexibility for easier working on curved panels.

What to expect from the size

The sponge face is listed at 6.5 inches, and the product title specifies use with a 6 inch 150mm backing plate. That makes it important to check your machine and backing plate size before ordering, especially if you are matching existing polishing kit.

Useful care points

• Clean the pad during use if abrasive build-up becomes heavy.
• Clean it after use to help keep it in better condition.
• Avoid solvents or alkaline cleaners when washing the pad.

Sold as a 3-piece set, this is a practical choice for car correction tasks where a heavy-cut foam pad is the right stage in the polishing process. The listing also mentions use on cars, boats, glass and other surfaces, but you should always check that the pad and your machine are suitable for the job in hand.
