Polishing pads – which polishing pad should you choose?
You have bought the polishing machine.
You have found the polish.
And then comes the question:
Which polishing pad should I use?
Hard? Soft? Foam? Microfiber? Wool? Heavy Cut? Medium? One-Step? Finishing?
The choice of polishing pad has a huge impact on the result when you are polishing the car.
The same polishing machine and the same polish can behave very differently depending on which polishing pad you mount on the machine.
The most important thing is therefore to understand one thing:
There is no one polishing pad that is best for everything.
The pad must be chosen based on:
The condition of the paint → desired correction → polish → polishing machine → desired finish.
In this guide, we go through the differences between the various types of polishing pads so you can more easily choose the right one.
