The FX PROTECT Medium Cut Foam Pad 150/165 mm is a pad featuring an open cell foam structure and trapezoid profile, engineered for medium cut polishing of vehicle paint surfaces. The pad is designed to manage heat effectively thanks to its temperature-regulating foam core, contributing to a more consistent working result and extended service life.

Open cell foam means the pad breathes during use, reducing heat build-up and helping to distribute Polish evenly across the surface. The trapezoid profile enables better contact with contoured areas of the paintwork and contributes to a more uniform polishing result.

The pad is compatible with DA polishers (dual action) using a 150 mm backing plate and is suited for use with medium cut Compounds and Polish in professional detailing environments. See more FX PROTECT products for detailing in our range.

What is a Medium Cut Foam Pad and why choose it?

A Medium Cut Foam Pad is an intermediate step in the polishing process – firmer than a finishing pad but softer than a heavy cut pad. It is used to remove light scratches, swirls, and oxidation without removing more paint than necessary. FX PROTECT's version with open cell foam and trapezoid profile is engineered to give professional detailers control and efficiency in a single step.

The temperature regulation in the foam core is an important feature for intensive use – it helps the pad retain its properties even during extended polishing sessions, which is essential in reconditioning workshops and detailing studios with high throughput.
