Overview
A medium-heavy cutting foam face does the abrading, spinning against automotive paint once it is mounted on a backing plate. It is sized to a five inch plate on dual-action polishers.
A cutting-grade pad targets visible swirls and defects as the first step of paint correction. The limitation is that a cutting pad leaves a finishing stage to the user, which the listing does not cover, and no compound or speed advice is given.
Who it's for
A hobbyist or professional doing paint correction on a dual-action polisher. Look elsewhere for light finishing work, or if your plate is not the listed size.
Pros and cons
- Medium to heavy cutting grade
- Targets swirls and defects
- Fits dual-action polishers
- Compound pairing not listed
- Foam density unstated
- Maximum speed not stated
- Single pad per pack
Performance notes
A cutting foam removes a thin layer of clear coat along with the polish, so correction depends on compound, pad speed and pressure. A heavier cut also means more heat and more haze, which usually calls for a follow-up with a finer pad. No maximum speed or recommended compound is stated.
