Overview
This Avid Power 5-pack holds 6 inch foam buffing and polishing pads sized for a 6 inch backing plate, meant to cover compounding, polishing and waxing steps on a car buffer or polisher.
Each pad has a wider top and narrower base, a shape Avid Power says helps keep the pad edge off the paint while polishing. The foam is chosen for airflow between pad and surface, and a square-edged sponge is meant to hold polishing compound in place at higher buffer speeds instead of flinging it off.
- 5-pack sized for 6 inch backing plates
- Tapered foam shape designed to reduce scratching
- Square edge helps hold polishing compound in place
- Washable for repeated use
Who it's for
DIYers and detailers running a 6 inch backing plate polisher who need pads for several stages of a paint job in one purchase. It is not a fit for polishers built around a different pad size.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Sized to fit standard 6 inch backing plates
- Washable and reusable across jobs
- Five pads cover compounding, polishing and waxing
- Tapered foam shape aims to reduce edge scratching
- Only fits 6 inch backing plates, not other sizes
Performance notes
The tapered foam profile is intended to reduce the chance of the pad edge scratching paint, while the open foam structure lets heat and air move through during use. The square sponge edge is meant to grip compound so it stays on the pad rather than spinning off, and pads can be rinsed with water and air dried for repeat use.
