The CarPro Flash Pad is a cutting foam pad (polishing pad) made from hard polyurethane foam at 330 kPa, developed for paint correction where deep scratches and bird dropping marks need to be removed. The foam's density of 37 kg/m³ provides a stable cut when working with Compound on a DA polisher or rotary polisher.

The 160mm diameter makes the pad manageable on most paint surfaces, from bonnets to door panels. The cell size of 73 ppi contributes to even heat dissipation during polishing, reducing the risk of the paint overheating during work. See also polish for paint correction, which complements the pad.

What sets CarPro Flash Pad apart?

What sets the CarPro Flash Pad apart is the combination of high hardness and high density in the foam, which delivers a more powerful cut than softer finishing pads. The pad is built to handle the heaviest defects before work continues with a softer pad for finishing. It works with most polishes on the market and enhances their effect during compounding.
