The ADBL Polishing Pad 165/175 mm in medium foam has been developed for use with a DA polisher and is suited to light to medium-heavy polishing of automotive paintwork. The pad is supplied with a quick-release attachment for straightforward and rapid fitting. The distinctive diamond pattern contributes to even distribution of polish and effective heat dissipation during use.

What is a medium foam pad and why choose it?
A medium foam pad is a foam polishing pad with a mid-range density, positioned between soft finishing pads and hard compound pads. It provides sufficient cut to correct light to moderate paint defects whilst leaving a surface ready for finishing with a finish pad. ADBL's diamond-patterned pad face helps keep the polish active for longer and reduces the risk of overheating the paintwork.
The quick-release attachment means the pad can be changed during a detailing job without tools, saving time in professional workflows. See more ADBL pads for polishing in our range.
