What is the ADBL Medium Foam Pad and why choose it?

A medium-density foam pad combines sufficient cutting ability to remove light scratches and oxidation with a finish that does not require too many subsequent steps. The ADBL Medium Foam Pad in yellow is a versatile choice when carrying out one- or two-stage polishing and you want control over the result without risking excessive paint removal.

Compared with softer finish pads, the medium density provides a better ability to work in Polish or a light Compound, whilst still leaving a sufficiently smooth surface to apply a Coating or Sealant in the next step.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the ADBL Medium Foam Pad 85/100mm work for single-stage polishing on a passenger car?

Yes, the ADBL Medium Foam Pad in yellow is well suited to single-stage polishing where you want to combine light correction with an acceptable finish in a single step. The medium-density foam pad provides sufficient force to work in Polish effectively, and the result is typically good enough to proceed directly to applying a Sealant or Coating without additional finishing steps.

What size backing plate is compatible with the ADBL Medium Foam Pad ADB000162?

The ADBL Medium Foam Pad has a pad diameter of 100 mm and is intended for use with an 85 mm backing plate. The model number is ADB000162. This size is a standard format that fits most DA polishers and rotary polishers with an 85 mm mount, and is a common choice for detailing work on passenger cars.

How does the ADBL Medium Foam Pad differ from softer or harder pads in the same range?

The ADBL Medium Foam Pad (yellow) sits between a hard Compound pad and a soft finish pad. A harder pad is used for more aggressive Compound treatment and deeper paint correction, whilst a softer pad delivers higher gloss but less cutting ability. The yellow medium-density pad from ADBL is a versatile option that handles light correction and Polish application without requiring a separate finishing step in most cases.
