SPTA 3 Pack Yellow T80 Foam Polishing Pads, 6.5 inch

SPTA yellow T80 foam polishing pads for cutting and polishing

Foam polishing pads for cutting, compounding, polishing and waxing, with a 6.5 inch face and heat-managing groove design.

These SPTA foam polishing pads are designed for machine polishing tasks where you need a more aggressive cut than a finishing pad would give. The yellow T80 foam is described as a high-cut pad, suited to removing sanding marks, swirl marks and heavier oxidation before moving on to finer polishing stages.

The pads have a 6.5 inch face and are listed for use with a 6 inch 150mm backing plate. They are intended for use with car buffers and polishers, including RO, DA and GA machines, and can be used with heavy cut or medium cut compound as part of a correction process.

What the pad design is trying to do

• The grooved face is meant to hold excess polish and help air move through the pad more freely.
• The high-density polyurethane sponge is described as flexible, breathable and durable.
• Velcro backing makes pad changes quicker and helps the pad sit securely during use.
• The pad is aimed at reducing heat build-up during polishing, which matters on longer correction jobs.

Where these pads fit into your detailing routine

These are the sort of pads you would reach for when paint needs more than a light finishing pass. They are aimed at compounding, polishing and waxing tasks, and the listing also mentions use on cars, boats, glass and other surfaces. For best results, match the pad to the compound and the level of correction needed, then clean the pad during use if abrasive product starts to build up.

Care and use notes

• Clean the pad during use if too much compound or abrasive residue collects.
• Clean it after use before storing it away.
• Do not use solvents or alkaline cleaners on the pad.

The pack contains 3 yellow T80 pads in the selected 6.5 inch size.
