Parts Desk Insights

Best Use Case: Use this pad on a machine polisher during glaze-based finishing when you want a soft-edge, double-sided pad that helps bring paint/coated surfaces to a high gloss.

Common Issues: If gloss isnt developing, confirm youre using the intended glaze/polish system and that the pad is kept clean (swap/flip the pad surface as needed). For best protection while polishing, ensure the pad is correctly centered and run at appropriate speed to avoid uneven contact on curves and edges.
