Heavy Paint Correction
Cut deep. Clear the defects.
The Work Stuff Basic Heavy Cutting Pad is built for the kind of correction work where lighter pads simply won't get there - heavy oxidation, deep scratches, and multi-stage defects that need real abrasive power to shift.
Why This Pad
Built for Real Correction Work
Four reasons pros reach for the Work Stuff Heavy Cutting Pad first.
-
Aggressive Cutting Power
Closed-cell foam removes deep scratches and heavy oxidation with fewer passes.
-
Stays Put on the Plate
High-grammage Velcro backing minimises pad movement for consistent, controlled correction.
-
Reaches Tight Areas
Side slant edge lets you work edges, contours and bumper lips without losing contact.
-
Manages Heat Buildup
Centre hole channels airflow to reduce heat during long correction sessions.
Pad vs Pad
Heavy Cutting Pad vs a Generic Cutting Pad
Not all cutting pads handle heat, alignment, or edge access the same way. Here is how the Work Stuff Basic Heavy Cutting Pad stacks up against a standard generic alternative.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Closed-cell foam construction | Yes | Yes |
| Centre hole for heat dissipation and alignment | Yes | No |
| Side slant for edge and contour access | Yes | No |
| High-grammage Velcro backing | Yes | Yes |
| Requires follow-up refining stage | Yes | Yes |
| Consistent foam density throughout use | Yes | No |
Control by Design
Engineered for the detailer's grip.
The centre hole keeps the pad centred on the backing plate and helps dissipate heat during extended correction sessions, while the side slant lets you work into edges and contours without losing pad contact or machine control.

Questions
Frequently asked
What polisher is this pad compatible with?
The 5-inch pad suits dual-action and rotary polishers fitted with a 5-inch Velcro backing plate. The high-grammage Velcro backing holds securely on both machine types.
What compound should I pair with this pad?
Pair it with a heavy-cut or aggressive compound - one rated for deep scratch removal or oxidation correction. A body-shop grade compound works well. Avoid light polishes on this pad; they won't match the cut level and can over-work the surface.
Can I use this pad on a dual-action polisher for heavy correction?
Yes. On a DA running at high speed with a quality heavy compound, this pad will tackle moderate to heavy correction. For severe paint damage or heavy sanding marks, a rotary will move faster, but the DA combination still produces solid results with less risk to the paint.
What surfaces can this pad be used on?
It is designed for use on clearcoat and single-stage painted panels. It is not suited for glass, plastic trim, or raw metal surfaces where aggressive abrasion would cause damage.
Do I need to prime the pad before use?
Yes, prime a new pad by working a small amount of compound into the foam before your first section. This conditions the closed-cell foam and ensures even product distribution from the first pass.
How do I clean the pad after use?
Rinse under lukewarm water and gently work out residue with your fingers or a pad-cleaning brush. Allow the pad to air dry fully before storing. Do not spin the pad on the machine while wet, as this can stress the Velcro backing.
Will this pad leave heavy haze that needs a second stage?
Yes. A heavy cutting pad at this level will leave micro-marring in the clearcoat. Follow up with a medium-cut or finishing pad and a polish to refine the surface before sealing or coating.
What does the side slant design actually help with?
The angled edge of the pad makes it easier to work close to panel edges, door shuts, bumper lips, and contoured bodywork without the flat face of the pad losing contact. It gives you more usable surface area in tight spots.
