German Engineering
A finishing pad built to the standard your paint deserves
Pads99 manufactures every pad in Germany under strict quality controls, and the Green Sandwich Pad is no exception. The ultra-soft foam grade and sandwich construction work together to lay down waxes and sealants in a consistent, thin film - giving your protection product the best possible bond and your paint a deeper, cleaner gloss.
Why Pads99
Precision foam for the final stage
Four reasons this pad earns a permanent spot in your kit.
-
Ultra-Soft Foam
Gentle enough for freshly corrected and sensitive paint without introducing new marks.
-
Even Product Spread
Sandwich construction distributes wax and sealant in a thin, streak-free layer across the panel.
-
Protection-Ready Finish
Proper application at low speed means your chosen coating or wax bonds correctly and lasts longer.
-
German Quality Control
Manufactured in Germany with strict tolerances - consistent density and diameter every single pad.
How It Stacks Up
Pads99 Green Sandwich Pad vs. a typical budget waxing pad

Built to Last
A pad that holds its shape through real-world detailing
Cheap waxing pads compress unevenly and break down after a handful of uses. The Pads99 Green Sandwich Pad is engineered for durability - it maintains its profile and foam integrity over repeated use and washing cycles, so you get consistent results every time you reach for it.

Questions
Frequently asked
What machine is this pad compatible with?
The 5-inch Green Sandwich Pad is designed to fit standard 5-inch DA (dual-action) and rotary backing plates. Check your backing plate diameter before ordering - a direct 5-inch plate is the correct match for this pad.
What products can I apply with this pad?
This pad is rated ultra-soft, making it the right choice for liquid waxes, paste waxes, finishing glazes and paint sealants. It is not a cutting or polishing pad - it is built purely for product application at the final stage of a detail.
Will this pad work on dark or black paint without marring?
Yes. The ultra-soft foam grade is gentle enough for dark, black and freshly corrected paint. Keep machine speed low to medium and prime the pad before your first pass to avoid any dry friction.
How do I prime the pad before use?
Apply a few drops of your chosen wax or sealant directly to the pad face and spread it across the surface by hand before switching the machine on. This prevents the dry foam from absorbing too much product on the first pass and helps you get even coverage from the start.
At what machine speed should I run this pad?
For wax and sealant application, a low to medium orbit or RPM setting is all you need. High speeds generate unnecessary heat and can cause your product to flash too quickly, leaving uneven residue. Let the pad do the work at a relaxed pace.
Can I use this pad by hand instead of a machine?
Yes. The sandwich foam is comfortable to work with by hand on smaller panels or tight areas. You will get slightly less even pressure than with a machine, but the soft foam still distributes product well in a hand-application scenario.
How do I clean and store this pad?
Rinse the pad under warm water immediately after use and work the product out of the foam gently with your fingers. Avoid wringing the foam, which can tear the cell structure over time. Store the pad flat or face-up in a clean, dry area away from dust.
Can I use this pad after a paint correction step?
Absolutely - that is its primary role. Once you have finished correction and refining with your cutting and finishing pads, switch to the Green Sandwich Pad to apply your chosen wax or sealant protection over the corrected surface. Keep it dedicated to application only; do not mix it with compound or polish residue from other pads.
