The Royal Pads 130 mm Open Cell Foam Pad has been developed for one step treatment, where scratch removal and a high-gloss finish are achieved in a single working stage. The pad combines sufficient cutting ability to reduce light scratches and swirls with a surface structure that leaves the paintwork with a glossy, even result.

Open cell foam means the pad distributes heat and Polish effectively during use, contributing to a more even result and reducing the risk of overheating the paint surface. The pad is suitable for use with more products from Royal Pads as part of a complete polishing system.

With a diameter of 130 mm, the pad is suited to standard detailing machines and works well on flat and gently curved surfaces such as bonnets, roofs, and doors.

What is a One Step Foam Pad and why choose it?

A one step foam pad is a pad designed to combine correction and finishing properties in a single stage. This means the detailer can remove light scratches, oxidation, and swirls whilst simultaneously polishing the paintwork to a high-gloss surface – without needing to change the pad or Polish between stages.

Royal Pads' open cell foam provides a balanced firmness that is sufficiently aggressive for correction yet soft enough not to leave marks in the paintwork. This makes the foam pad a time-efficient choice for reconditioning workshops and detailing studios handling a high throughput of vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the Royal Pads 130mm Open Cell Foam Pad remove deeper scratches?

The Royal Pads Open Cell Foam Pad 130mm is designed for one step treatment of light to moderate scratches and swirls. Deeper scratches that reach the primer or bare metal typically require a more aggressive Compound pad in a separate stage. For surface scratches and swirls, Royal Pads' open cell foam delivers an effective result in a single working stage.

What diameter and machine type is the Royal Pads ROY000201 Foam Pad suited to?

The Royal Pads Foam Pad ROY000201 has a diameter of 130 mm and is designed for use with both a DA polisher (dual action) and a rotary polisher. The size is suited to standard detailing machines and is appropriate for work on flat and gently curved paint surfaces.

How does the Royal Pads 130mm Open Cell Foam Pad differ from a closed cell foam pad?

Royal Pads' open cell foam has a porous structure that allows better heat distribution and more even spread of Polish during use compared with closed cell foam. Closed cell foam tends to retain more heat and Polish at the surface, which can produce a more aggressive result. The open cell structure of this Royal Pads foam pad contributes to more controlled working and is well suited to one step applications where both correction and finishing are required in the same stage.
