Serious Correction
Cut deep, cut clean
The Burdeaux Classic pad is built for the kind of paint correction where softer foam simply runs out of cut. High-density German foam grips the compound, maintains consistent pressure across the face of the pad, and works through heavy swirls and oxidation without glazing over.

Questions
Frequently asked
What level of cut does the Burdeaux pad deliver?
The Burdeaux colour denotes a high-cut, aggressive foam compound. It is designed for stage-one paint correction - removing deep swirl marks, heavy oxidation, and coarse sanding marks. Follow it with a medium or finishing pad to refine the surface before applying a wax, sealant or ceramic coating.
Which machine polishers is this pad compatible with?
The 5-inch pad suits both dual-action (DA) and rotary polishers fitted with a standard 5-inch or 125 mm backing plate. Always ensure your backing plate is matched to a 5-inch pad to avoid edge rollover and uneven pressure.
What surfaces can I use this pad on?
This pad is intended for clear-coated and single-stage automotive paint. Avoid using a high-cut pad on very thin paint, freshly sprayed panels within the first few weeks of cure, or delicate surfaces like bare polished aluminium without testing first.
Which polishes or compounds work best with this pad?
Pair the Burdeaux pad with a medium to heavy cutting compound for maximum correction. On a DA polisher it handles most quality cutting compounds; on a rotary it delivers even more aggression, so dial back your compound weight slightly or reduce machine speed to maintain control.
How do I prime the pad before use?
Apply a few pea-sized dots of compound evenly across the pad face before your first section. This primes the foam and prevents the compound from being absorbed unevenly. Do not dry-run the pad on paint - always start with product loaded.
How do I clean and maintain the pad between sections?
Knock the pad out with a pad conditioning brush or blow it clear with compressed air every one or two panel sections to prevent compound build-up, which reduces cut and can cause heat spikes. After the session, hand-wash the pad with warm water and a small amount of pad cleaner, then allow it to air-dry completely before storing.
Can I use this pad to apply a ceramic coating or sealant?
No - the Burdeaux cutting pad is a correction tool, not an application pad. Use a soft foam applicator or dedicated coating applicator pad for ceramic coatings, sealants and waxes. Applying a coating with a cutting pad wastes product and can introduce micro-marring into a freshly corrected surface.
Do I need to follow up with a finishing pad after using the Burdeaux?
Yes, in most cases. A high-cut pad removes defects efficiently but typically leaves light haze or buffer trails, especially on darker paint. A medium polishing pad with a refining compound or an all-in-one, followed by a finishing pad if needed, will bring the surface to a true high-gloss finish ready for protection.
