The Royal Pads Medium Foam Pad with a 130 mm diameter has been developed for professional polishing where balanced material removal and controlled heat build-up are critical. The pad combines a flexible foam body with built-in ventilation, contributing to a more even working temperature and extended service life during intensive use.
With its medium-density construction, this pad is suited for use with Polish and light Compound, delivering results that sit between aggressive correction and finish treatment. The balanced cutting geometry ensures even pressure across the entire pad surface.
The ventilation channels within the foam body reduce heat accumulation and prevent the Polish from drying out too quickly, which is particularly valuable when working with a DA polisher or rotary polisher during longer sessions. See more Royal Pads pads and accessories in our range.
What is a Medium Foam Pad and why choose it?
A Medium Foam Pad is a pad with a medium-density foam body, positioned between soft finish pads and hard cutting pads on the hardness scale. The Royal Pads Medium Foam Pad in the 130 mm format is engineered to handle light to moderate paint defects such as scratches, oxidation, and swirl marks, without being as aggressive as a dedicated Compound pad.
The flexible construction adapts to the contours and uneven surfaces of the bodywork, contributing to a more uniform polishing result. For detailers and reconditioning workshops working with varying paint conditions, this is a versatile choice that reduces the need to switch pads between the correction and polishing stages.

What sets the Royal Pads Medium Foam Pad 130 mm apart from other pads in the same size class?
The Royal Pads Medium Foam Pad stands out through its combination of balanced cutting geometry, built-in ventilation, and a flexible foam body.
