Questions
Frequently asked
What machine is this pad designed for?
The Pads99 Orange Twister Pad is compatible with standard 6-inch backing plates used on both dual-action (DA) polishers and rotary machines. Check that your backing plate diameter matches before fitting.
What level of correction does the orange grade provide?
Orange is a cutting grade, suited to heavy paint defects - deep swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation and water spot etching. It is more aggressive than a polishing or finishing pad, so follow up with a finer pad and finishing polish to fully refine the surface.
Which compound works best with this pad?
Pair it with a medium to heavy cutting compound. The orange foam grade is firm enough to drive an aggressive compound efficiently. If you find the combination too abrasive for a particular paint, step down to a medium compound and re-evaluate before committing to the full panel.
Can I use this pad on single-stage and base-coat/clear-coat paint?
Yes, the pad works on both single-stage paint and standard base-coat/clear-coat systems. On softer or thinner clear coats, use a paint depth gauge before correction and work at lower machine speeds to stay in control of the cut.
How do I prime the pad before use?
Apply a few small dots of compound directly onto the pad face and spread lightly by hand or at low machine speed before beginning your working pass. This loads the foam evenly and prevents the compound from being flung off at the start of the cycle.
How do I clean and maintain the pad after use?
Remove spent compound regularly during a session using a pad cleaning brush or pad washer to prevent glazing. After the session, hand-wash the pad with warm water and a small amount of pad cleaner or mild shampoo, rinse thoroughly, and leave it foam-side up to air dry fully before storing or reusing.
How many uses can I expect from a single pad?
With proper cleaning and care between uses, a quality foam pad from Pads99 is built for multiple correction sessions. Inspect the foam before each use - if the cells are torn, compressed or no longer spring back, it is time to replace the pad.
What should I do after using this cutting pad?
The orange cut will leave micro-marring that needs to be refined. Follow up with a medium or finishing pad and a polishing or finishing compound to achieve a high-gloss surface. The panel is then ready for a sealant, wax or ceramic coating application.
