The pad is designed to be used with a suitable Compound and delivers the best results when combined with the correct machine parameters and polishing products from FX PROTECT.

What is a Microfibre Hybrid Cutting Pad and why choose it?

A Microfibre Hybrid Cutting Pad combines the properties of traditional microfibre pads with a hybrid core that provides improved heat management and more even pressure distribution. The result is a polishing pad that cuts effectively through oxidised or scratched paint surfaces whilst reducing the risk of paint overheating.

FX PROTECT's 80 mm variant has been developed for detailers and bodywork workshops that carry out precision polishing on hard-to-reach areas. The high cut level means fewer passes are required to achieve the desired result, saving time and reducing wear on the machine.

What size and machine format is compatible with the FX PROTECT Microfibre Hybrid Cutting Pad?

The FX PROTECT Microfibre Hybrid Cutting Pad has a diameter of 80 mm, making it suitable for precision polishing on confined areas such as door edges, mirror housings, and pillar mounts. The pad is compatible with both DA polisher and rotary polisher with a corresponding backing plate size. Always ensure that the backing plate diameter matches the pad size for optimum performance.

How does the FX PROTECT Microfibre Hybrid Cutting Pad differ from a standard foam pad in the same size class?

The FX PROTECT Microfibre Hybrid Cutting Pad differs from a conventional foam pad through its microfibre hybrid construction, which delivers a markedly higher cut level during Compound work. The microfibre surface cuts more aggressively through oxidised paint surfaces and generally requires fewer passes to achieve the desired result compared with a softer foam pad. The hybrid core also contributes to better heat management, reducing the risk of paint overheating during intensive work.
