Overview
A 5-pack of foam polishing pads sized to fit a 5 inch (125mm) backing plate, with five cut grades from heavy-cut to ultra-fine finishing so one kit covers scratch removal through final gloss.
The pad set is built around compatibility rather than a single finish: each of the five pads (T120, T80, T60, T40, T10) is rated for a different stage, from removing 1200-1500 grit sanding marks down to a swirl-free finishing pass. The listing is specific that the backing side is 5 inches and the face is 5.5 inches, which matters because a pad sized for the wrong plate will not seat correctly.
- 5-pad set, 5.5 inch face for a 5 inch (125mm) backing plate
- Five cut levels: T120, T80, T60, T40, T10
- Hook-and-loop attachment
- Washable, reusable open-cell foam
Who it's for
Detailers and DIY owners running a rotary, dual-action, or random-orbital polisher with a 5 inch (125mm) backing plate, who want one kit that moves from compounding through to a finishing pass. Not a fit for a 6 inch or 7 inch backing plate.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Five cut grades cover compounding through finishing
- Hook-and-loop backing for fast pad swaps
- Washable and reusable across multiple jobs
- Only fits 5 inch (125mm) backing plates
- Results depend on matching pad to compound
- Foam wears faster than hard cutting pads
Performance notes
Each pad is matched to a cutting compound and a job: the T120 heavy-cut pad is meant to pair with a heavy-cut compound to clear deep scratches and oxidation, while the T10 pad is built for a finishing compound and a swirl-free gloss pass. The hook-and-loop backing lets you swap pads between stages without removing the plate, and the open-cell foam is built to be washed and reused across several jobs rather than discarded after one use.
