Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the Royal Pads One-Step Polishing Pad work for preparation before Ceramic Coating?
Yes, the Royal Pads One-Step Polishing Pad in orange can be used as a preparatory step before Ceramic Coating or Sealant application, provided the paint defects are light to moderate in nature. The pad helps remove oxidation and light scratches in a single step, resulting in a cleaner surface for subsequent paint protection. For deeper defects, a multi-step programme with separate Compound and finish pads is recommended.
What size is the Royal Pads One-Step Polishing Pad and which machines is it compatible with?
The Royal Pads One-Step Polishing Pad has a diameter of 150/180 mm and is compatible with standard backing plates for DA polishers and rotary polishers. The size makes it suitable for working on large painted surfaces such as bonnets, roofs, and doors. Please verify that your machine's backing plate matches the pad diameter before use.
What distinguishes the Royal Pads One-Step Polishing Pad from a standard finish pad?
The Royal Pads One-Step Polishing Pad in orange is formulated with a medium-aggressive foam that combines correction and gloss enhancement in a single step, unlike a finish pad which is intended solely for gloss enhancement without correction capability. A finish pad is typically used as the final step in a multi-step programme, whereas the one-step pad from Royal Pads is designed to replace several steps when the condition of the paintwork permits. This makes the Royal Pads One-Step Polishing Pad a time-efficient choice for reconditioning workshops and detailers with high vehicle throughput.
