Overview
This set of three Griot's Garage orange foam correcting pads measures 3 inches across, built to remove light to moderate paint defects like swirls and haze by hand or with a random orbital polisher. Hook and loop backing attaches to compatible backing plates, and the foam is machine washable for reuse.
The beveled, flat face foam is meant to spread polish evenly and reduce compound sling, and thermoset bonding keeps the foam from tearing away from the backing during repeated passes. These are 3 inch pads, which points them at trim, tight panel sections, and touch up work rather than full size panel correction.

- Removes light to moderate paint defects

- Machine washable, reusable foam
Who it's for
Detailers doing small panel, trim, or touch up correction work who want a washable, reusable pad rather than a disposable one.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Works by hand or with a random orbital polisher
- Machine washable for repeated reuse
- Hook and loop attachment stays secure during use
- Set of three keeps a fresh pad on hand
- Rated for light to moderate defects only

Performance notes
The foam's beveled flat face keeps polish applied evenly across the pad and cuts down on product flung off during machine use, while thermoset bonding between foam and backing resists tearing under repeated use. Hook and loop attachment keeps the pad seated on hand applicators or orbital polisher backing plates, and the foam can be machine washed between sessions.
