What size and cut level does the Royal Pads OF Medium foam pad have?

The pad is compatible with both a DA polisher and a rotary polisher.

What distinguishes the Royal Pads OF Medium from a closed-cell foam pad of the same cut level?

The key difference is the cell structure. The Royal Pads Open Flow Medium Cut Foam Pad uses an open (Open Flow) cell structure that actively ventilates heat and excess polish away during processing. A closed-cell foam pad retains more heat, which can increase the risk of paint damage during extended working sessions or when used with a rotary polisher. The open structure of the Royal Pads OF Medium also contributes to more consistent cutting ability throughout the working session, as the pad does not become saturated as quickly.
