The Royal Pads Pro 80 mm pad in open-cell foam is designed for one-step polishing on soft and medium-hard car paintwork, where the cell structure counteracts clogging and overheating during the polishing process. The 80 mm diameter makes the pad easy to handle for spot polishing and smaller areas where a larger pad would be impractical.
The construction is based on an open cell pattern that allows air and residual polish to pass through more effectively than a dense foam structure, keeping the working temperature down and extending the pad's lifespan. The hook-and-loop attachment fits most DA polishers and rotary polishers with a standard backing plate. See our range of polishes for matching products for this pad.
The orange colour coding makes it easier to sort between different pad types in the workshop, which is useful both for individual users and for teams working with multiple paint stages simultaneously.
When does Royal Pads Polishing Pad make the most sense?
The Royal Pads Polishing Pad makes the most sense for one-step polishing of light to medium defects, such as hairline scratches, oxidation and minor swirl marks on soft and medium-hard paintwork. The open cell structure keeps the pad functional for longer, as it doesn't clog up as quickly as denser foam, which is especially noticeable during longer working sessions.
The pad works well with various Polishes and is suited to both spot polishing and full panels in smaller sections.
Applications for Royal Pads Polishing Pad
- One-step polishing of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Royal Pads Polishing Pad suitable for hard paintwork or heavy polishing jobs?
No, the Royal Pads Polishing Pad in open-cell foam is primarily designed for soft to medium-hard paintwork and lighter defects. For hard paintwork or heavy oxidation, a firmer pad or a coarser Compound often gives better results before this pad is used for finishing.
How is the Royal Pads Polishing Pad cleaned and stored between uses?
The Royal Pads Polishing Pad should be rinsed with warm water and mild soap immediately after use, and then left to air-dry completely before being put away. Proper cleaning keeps the open cell structure free of residue, which extends the pad's lifespan and maintains polishing results over time. More accessories can be found via our range of DA polishers.
What sets the Royal Pads Polishing Pad apart from other open-cell pads on the market?
The Royal Pads Polishing Pad stands out through a cell structure engineered specifically to counteract clogging and heat build-up simultaneously, something many standard foam pads don't handle as well during longer working sessions. The combination of 80 mm diameter and hook-and-loop attachment also makes it versatile for both spot work and smaller panels.
