Cut swirls and oxidation in one aggressive pass
The Pads99 Red Twister Pad is engineered for the kind of correction work that lighter pads simply cannot handle. Its distinctive twister channel design keeps compound active and evenly distributed across the pad face, so you get consistent cut from the first panel to the last.

Questions
Frequently asked
What machine is this pad compatible with?
The Red Twister Pad is compatible with both dual-action (DA) polishers and rotary machines. The 5-inch diameter fits any standard 5-inch backing plate, which is the most common size used by professional detailers.
What level of correction is this pad designed for?
This is a heavy cutting pad. It is designed to remove deep swirl marks, scratches and oxidation that lighter pads cannot shift. It should be used as your first pass in a multi-stage correction process, followed by a medium or finishing pad to refine the surface.
Which compounds work best with the Red Twister Pad?
Pair it with a heavy or medium-heavy cutting compound for maximum correction. Once you have completed your cutting stage, switch to a softer pad and a finishing polish to bring the paint to a high gloss before any sealant or coating application.
Is it safe to use on all paint types?
Yes, the Red Twister Pad can be used on all conventional paint systems including single-stage, base-coat/clear-coat and soft European paints. Use appropriate pressure and machine speed settings for softer paints, and always perform a test spot before working a full panel.
Can I use this pad before applying a ceramic coating or PPF?
Absolutely. The Red Twister Pad is ideal for the correction stage prior to ceramic coating or PPF installation. After cutting with this pad, refine the surface with a finishing pad and polish, then decon and clean the paint thoroughly before applying any coating or film.
How do I clean and maintain the pad?
Remove compound build-up regularly during use with a pad brush or compressed air to keep the foam open and cutting efficiently. After your session, wash the pad by hand using warm water and a mild pad cleaner, squeeze gently - do not wring - and allow it to air dry fully before storage.
How many passes can I expect before the pad loads up?
This depends on the compound you are using and the condition of the paint, but the twister channel design helps prevent premature loading by distributing compound across the face of the pad. Regular pad brushing between sections keeps it cutting at its best throughout a full correction job.
Why is the pad red and does the colour mean anything?
In the Pads99 range, red denotes a heavy cutting foam grade. This is a widely used colour-coding convention in professional detailing, making it easy to identify the correct pad at a glance when you have multiple pads on the go during a correction session.
