Cut on a Rupes 21 with this pad is properly aggressive. Cleared a bonnet full of swirls in two passes, no drama.

Built for Long Throw
Correction pads that keep up with your machine
Most microfibre pads are designed with smaller, lighter orbitals in mind. The HDO line is built to handle the increased forces of long-throw machines without breaking down mid-job, so you get consistent cut from the first pass to the last.
Why HDO
Pads that work as hard as you do
Engineered for the demands of professional long-throw correction work.
-
Long-Throw Ready
Specifically engineered to handle the forces generated by long-throw orbital polishers without premature wear.
-
Fast Cutting Face
Microfibre face cuts faster than foam and breaks down compound evenly across the working surface.
-
Heavy-Duty Build
Enhanced durability means the pad holds its shape and cut performance through extended correction sessions.
-
Multiple Sizes
Available in a range of diameters to match your backing plate and the panel you're working on.
HDO vs Standard Pads
Not all microfibre pads are built the same
When you're running a long-throw machine, a standard microfibre or foam pad designed for lighter orbitals will wear faster, track unevenly, and leave you re-doing sections. Here's how the HDO line stacks up.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Designed for long-throw orbitals | Yes | No |
| Microfibre cutting face | Yes | Yes |
| Enhanced durability under high-throw forces | Yes | No |
| Multiple size options available | Yes | Yes |
| Consistent cut performance over extended use | Yes | No |
| Machine washable and reusable | Yes | Yes |
Professional Results
Faster correction, less time on the panel
The microfibre face on the HDO pad breaks compound down efficiently, reducing the number of passes needed to clear swirls and scratches. Less time correcting means more jobs done and a finish the paint actually deserves.

Decent pad. Does need a follow-up with a finishing foam before you top with ceramic, but the correction stage is quick and clean.

Foam pads kept dying on my long-throw after a few uses. These are holding up properly after several washes.

White hatch had oxidation and heavy swirling. One pass with compound and this pad sorted the panels out. Finished with a light polish on foam and the paint looked new.

Good microfibre pad. Cuts noticeably faster than what I was using before. Packaging arrived intact, pad was ready to use straight out the bag.

Finally a pad made for long-throw machines. Everything else I tried tracked badly at higher settings. This stays flat and cuts evenly.
Questions
Frequently asked
What type of polisher are these pads designed for?
The HDO Microfiber Pads are built specifically for long-throw orbital polishers. The heavier duty construction handles the increased throw and centrifugal forces that standard pads can't sustain over time.
Can I use these pads on a standard dual-action or rotary polisher?
These pads are engineered with long-throw orbitals in mind. While they may physically fit a standard DA or rotary, you won't get the best performance out of them and may accelerate wear. Stick to long-throw machines for optimal results.
What surfaces are the HDO Microfiber Pads safe to use on?
They're suitable for clear-coated paint, single-stage paint, and gel coat. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, particularly on softer or older paint systems where a microfibre pad's cut level could cause marring at higher speeds.
Which compounds or polishes work best with these pads?
Microfibre pads like these work best with dedicated microfibre compounds or medium-to-heavy cut polishes. They break product down faster than foam, so you may need to work in smaller sections. Avoid light finishing polishes - those pair better with a foam finishing pad.
How do I clean and maintain the HDO Microfiber Pads?
Brush out excess product regularly during use. After detailing, hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle in warm water without fabric softener. Allow to air dry fully before storing. Avoid high-heat tumble drying as it can damage the microfibre face.
How many correction passes can I expect before the finish is ready for a topper?
On a long-throw machine with a suitable compound, the HDO Microfiber Pad can clear heavy swirls and light scratches within one to two passes on most paintwork. A light finishing stage with a foam pad is recommended before applying a wax, sealant, or ceramic coating.
Can I use these pads for a one-step correction and protection process?
Yes - microfibre pads pair well with all-in-one products that combine cut and protection in a single step. The aggressive face handles the correction while the product leaves behind a protective layer. Results will vary depending on paint condition and defect severity.
What sizes are available for the HDO Microfiber Pads?
Multiple sizes are available to match different backing plates and panel requirements. Check the product listing variants for the specific diameter options. Choosing the right size for your backing plate ensures even pad contact and consistent pressure across the correction zone.
