German Foam Engineering
Cut harder, work smarter on smaller panels
The 3-inch format gives you the control to correct door edges, pillars and bumper corners without overrunning onto trim or glass. The dense burgundy foam grips compound efficiently and cuts heavy swirls without loading up mid-panel.
Why Pads99 Classic
Engineered for professional correction
Four reasons detailers reach for the burgundy pad first.
-
Heavy-Cut Aggression
Burgundy foam grade removes deep swirls and oxidation that medium pads leave behind.
-
Rotary-Ready Design
Hole-free classic construction handles the heat and pressure of rotary machine work without deforming.
-
Precise 3-Inch Format
Compact diameter gives you access to tight panels, edges and detailed bodywork sections.
-
German Manufacturing
Every pad is produced in Germany under strict quality controls for consistent foam density and durability.

Questions
Frequently asked
What backing plate size does this pad fit?
The Pads99 Classic Burgundy Cutting Pad is 3 inches (75 mm) in diameter and is designed to fit a standard 3-inch backing plate on your DA or rotary machine.
Is this pad suited to DA polishers or rotary machines?
The hole-free classic design makes it particularly well suited to rotary machines, though it works on forced-rotation DA polishers too. The dense burgundy foam handles the higher heat generated by rotary work without breaking down prematurely.
What level of correction does the burgundy cutting pad deliver?
Burgundy in the Pads99 Classic range is a heavy-cut grade. It is designed to tackle deep swirl marks, light scratches and oxidation where a medium or finishing pad would not have enough aggression.
Which compounds pair well with this pad?
Any professional-grade heavy or medium-cut compound works well. Pair with a diminishing-abrasive compound and you can cut and refine in fewer steps. Prime the pad with a small amount of product before your first pass.
Can I use this pad on all paint types?
Yes - the pad itself is safe on all paint types including clear coat, single-stage and soft European paint. The aggression comes from the compound you choose, so match your compound to the paint hardness and check your paint thickness before aggressive correction.
How do I clean and maintain the pad between uses?
Knock compound residue off the face with a pad cleaning brush or compressed air during your session. After polishing, wash the pad with warm water and a small amount of pad cleaner, then squeeze - do not wring - and allow it to air-dry face-down before storing.
How many passes or sessions will the pad last?
Pads99 manufactures under strict German quality controls for durability. Pad life depends on technique, machine speed and compound used - correct cleaning after each session significantly extends the usable life. Most professional detailers get multiple correction sessions from a well-maintained pad.
Where are Pads99 pads made?
All Pads99 products, including this Classic Burgundy Cutting Pad, are manufactured entirely in Germany under strict quality controls. No outsourced production - German foam engineering from start to finish.
