The FX PROTECT Foam Pad Medium Cut 75/90mm is a foam pad with an open cell structure and trapezoid shape, developed for machine polishing with a DA polisher or rotary polisher. The pad is engineered to manage heat effectively during use, contributing to more consistent results and a longer pad lifespan.

With a working diameter of 75 mm and a total diameter of 90 mm, this foam pad is suited to compact polishing tools and is appropriate for working on confined areas such as door edges, mirror housings, and A-pillars. See more FX PROTECT products for professional polishing.

Open cell foam means that heat and Polish are transported efficiently through the pad, reducing the risk of overheating the paint surface and providing better control over the polishing process.

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

A Medium Cut foam pad is a middle-ground option between an aggressive cutting pad and a soft finish pad. It is intended to remove light to moderate scratches, oxidation, and swirl marks, without removing more paint than necessary. FX PROTECT's trapezoid design increases the contact area against the paint surface and contributes to more uniform pressure during polishing.

The temperature control function in this foam pad is a result of the open cell structure, which allows air circulation and heat dissipation during operation. This is particularly valuable during longer polishing sessions where pad temperature would otherwise risk rising and negatively affecting the result.

Where is this product suitable?

• Detailing studios and reconditioning workshops using compact DA polisher tools
• Work on hard-to-reach surfaces such as door edges, mirror housings, and A-pillars
