The ADBL polishing pad with short wool fibre delivers fast cutting when correcting paint defects, with a diameter of 75 mm suited to DA polishers and Rotary polishers. The flexible backing plate follows the shape of the bodywork and makes work on edges and curved surfaces easier. The pad is designed to keep heat build-up down during polishing.
The wool fibre spreads Polish evenly across the surface and enables fast correction of dullness, scratches and etch marks. The pad works together with Compound or Polish depending on the extent of the damage. See more paint polish products.
When does the polishing pad make the most sense?
The polishing pad makes the most sense for heavy paint correction, such as deep scratches, oxidation or etch marks that require a high cut rate. The short-fibre wool removes defects faster than a Foam pad or Microfibre pad, saving time during reconditioning. After heavy correction, a finer pad is recommended to boost the gloss.
Applications for the polishing pad
- Reconditioning used cars with dull or scratched paintwork
- Removing etch marks and oxidation before Ceramic Coating
- Heavy correction (Compound) ahead of finer polishing steps
- Professional use in detailing studios and car care businesses

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the ADBL polishing pad work on thin or sensitive paintwork?
Not without caution. Because the wool fibre in the ADBL Polishing Pad cuts quickly, you should always test on a small area before working on the entire bodywork, especially on thin or sensitive paintwork. The polishing pad is best suited to heavier defects rather than delicate clear coats.
How do you clean the ADBL polishing pad after use?
The ADBL Polishing Pad is easiest to clean by brushing or blowing out the fibres during work, to maintain an even cut rate. After use, wash the pad with a mild detergent in lukewarm water, rinse thoroughly and air-dry without high heat. Avoid tumble dryers or heat sources that could damage the wool fibre.
What is the difference between the ADBL polishing pad and foam or microfibre pads?
The ADBL Polishing Pad with short wool fibre cuts paint significantly faster than a Foam pad or Microfibre pad, making it best suited to heavy correction of deep defects. Foam and microfibre pads, on the other hand, are better for intermediate steps and finishing, with a lower cut rate and a gentler effect on the surface. More ADBL products for paint care.
