The pad is designed for medium-level polishing and is suited to the removal of light scratches, oxidation, and dull areas in the paintwork. It combines sufficient aggressiveness to deliver visible results with a finish that does not require an excessive number of follow-up steps.
With a diameter of 150 mm, this polishing pad is compatible with standard machines for DA polishers (dual-action polishers) and rotary polishers in that size class. See more Royal Pads products for professional polishing in our range.
What is a Medium Polishing Pad and why choose it?
A medium polishing pad sits between an aggressive compound pad and a soft finish pad. It is used when the paintwork requires more correction than a finish pad can achieve, but does not demand the maximum aggressiveness of a coarse compound pad. The Royal Pads OF (Open Foam) is developed to handle this stage with precision and control.
The open cell structure (OF – Open Foam) differs from closed cell in that it allows air to circulate through the material. This keeps the pad cooler during longer polishing sequences and contributes to a more even distribution of Polish against the paint surface, resulting in a more consistent finish.
