Quick Facts – Royal Pads Foam Pad

• Brand: Royal Pads
• Type: Foam Pad
• Hardness: Medium Cut
• Colour: Yellow
• Diameter: 80/100 mm
• Application: Paint correction and polishing

The Royal Pads Medium Cut Foam Pad in yellow is a foam-based pad developed for paint correction and polishing with moderate cutting action. The pad is suited for use with Polish in situations where a softer finishing pad does not provide sufficient correction, but where a hard Compound pad would be too aggressive.

The 80/100 mm size makes the pad well suited for use with compact DA polishers and smaller rotary polishers, facilitating work in confined areas such as door edges, mirror housings, and bumpers.

The yellow colour coding follows Royal Pads' standardised system, where yellow indicates medium cut hardness – an intuitive system that simplifies the selection of the correct pad within a professional workflow.

What is a Medium Cut Foam Pad and why choose it?

A medium cut foam pad is a mid-range option within the pad range – it offers sufficient mechanical action to reduce light scratches, oxidation, and swirl marks, without being so aggressive that it risks damaging the paintwork on sensitive surfaces. The Royal Pads medium cut pad in yellow is designed to be paired with a Polish for a balanced result between correction and gloss.

Choosing a medium cut pad is common in a two-stage process: first correction with a harder pad and Compound, then refinement with a medium cut pad and Polish to achieve a clean, clear surface prior to the application of Coating or Sealant.
