What is a Medium Foam Pad and why choose it?
A medium foam pad sits between soft finishing pads and hard cutting pads. It is suitable for removing light scratches, oxidation, and swirl marks using an appropriate polish or compound, without being overly aggressive towards the paint surface. ADBL's medium-density foam quality provides a balanced combination of cutting action and surface finish.
The diamond pattern on the ADBL Foam Pad 135/150mm helps reduce friction heat and improve the distribution of polish, resulting in a more uniform finish across the entire work area.
