Questions
Frequently asked
What machine does the Pads99 3-inch Red Sandwich Pad work with?
The pad is designed to fit a standard 3-inch backing plate, which is compatible with most DA polishers and rotary machines that accept a 3-inch interface. Check your backing plate diameter before ordering.
What type of paint defects can this pad remove?
As a heavy cutting pad, it is suited to removing deep swirl marks, heavy scratches, oxidation and water-etching. For lighter defects, a medium or finishing pad will be more appropriate.
What polishing compounds pair well with this pad?
The red cutting pad works with heavy-cut compounds and abrasive polishes. Match the aggression of your compound to the severity of the defect. For single-stage correction on badly marred paint, a high-cut compound is the natural partner.
Is the sandwich construction important for cutting pads?
Yes. The sandwich design maintains consistent foam density across the full face of the pad, which means more even compound distribution and predictable cut. It also helps the pad resist collapsing under pressure, especially on a rotary.
Do I need to follow up with a finishing pad after using this?
A heavy cutting pad will leave micro-marring in the paint. You should always follow with a medium or fine polishing pad and a finishing polish to refine the surface before applying any sealant, wax or ceramic coating.
How do I clean and maintain this pad?
Rinse the pad with clean water during your session to prevent compound from drying in the foam. After use, wash it with a pad-cleaning brush and pad washer or mild detergent, rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before storing flat.
Can I use this pad on PPF or vinyl wraps?
Heavy cutting pads are designed for clear-coated paintwork. Using a heavy cut pad on PPF or vinyl carries a risk of burning through or damaging the film. For PPF correction, use a dedicated PPF-safe compound on a much softer pad and lower machine speeds.
Where are Pads99 pads manufactured?
All Pads99 polishing sponges are manufactured in Germany under strict quality controls. The brand covers diameters from 35 mm to 180 mm and multiple pad designs, including trapezoidal, UFO-shaped and standard profiles.
