The WORK STUFF 140 mm Orange Foam Pad is a bevelled-edge foam pad of medium hardness and high-density foam, developed for machine polishing of automotive paintwork. The pad is suited for use with Polish and light Compound products where the aim is to combine effective correction capability with a smooth surface finish.

Thanks to the high-density foam, the Polish is distributed evenly across the surface, contributing to a consistent result whether the work is carried out with a DA polisher or a rotary polisher. The orange colour coding makes it straightforward to identify the pad within a range featuring multiple hardness levels.

The pad is designed to fit machines with a 125–135 mm backing plate, and the bevelled edge helps reach edges and contoured areas on bodywork surfaces. See more WORK STUFF foam pads in our range to find the right hardness level for your work.

What is a medium-hardness foam pad and why choose it?

A medium-hardness foam pad is a versatile choice in detailing work. It is firm enough to remove light scratches, oxidation, and swirl marks, yet soft enough to avoid risking damage to the paintwork on more sensitive surfaces. The WORK STUFF medium foam pad in high-density foam retains its shape during longer polishing sessions, reducing the need for frequent pad changes.

Compared with softer finish pads, this foam pad delivers better correction capability, and compared with harder cut pads, it produces a finer end result that often requires minimal follow-up work. This makes it a natural first choice when working with a one-step Polish on vehicles in normal condition.

What hardness and size does the WORK STUFF 140 mm Orange Foam Pad have?

The WORK STUFF 140 mm Orange Foam Pad has medium hardness and a diameter of 140 mm. The foam is of the high-density type, which gives the pad good dimensional stability and even distribution of Polish or light Compound products.

What distinguishes the WORK STUFF 140 mm Orange Foam Pad from softer and harder pads?

The WORK STUFF 140 mm Orange Foam Pad with medium hardness sits between soft finish pads and hard cut pads. Soft finish pads are primarily intended for the application of Polish or Coating without any notable correction effect, whilst harder cut pads are used for aggressive paint correction with coarser Compound.
