Questions
Frequently asked
What machine types is the White Space Pad compatible with?
The White Space Pad is available in a full range of diameters from 35 mm to 180 mm, and in multiple designs including standard, trapezoidal, UFO and hole-free profiles. The hole-free design is specifically suited to rotary machines, while the other profiles work well on dual-action and gear-driven polishers. Match the pad diameter to your backing plate size for best results.
What type of polish or product should I use with this pad?
The White Space Pad is a finishing pad with minimal cut, so it pairs best with finishing polishes, glazes, light all-in-ones and fine jewelling compounds. It is not designed to carry heavy cutting compounds - use a cutting or medium-cutting pad for that stage first, then switch to the White Space Pad for the final refining pass.
What surfaces can I use this pad on?
It is suited to clear-coated paintwork on any colour, including dark and black paint where swirl marks and haze are most visible. It can also be used on painted bumpers and plastic trim panels. Avoid using it on bare metal or uncoated fibreglass without testing first.
What speed setting should I run on my machine?
For a finishing pad like the White Space Pad, a low to medium speed setting is recommended - typically speed 3 to 4 on a dual-action polisher. Running at lower speeds reduces heat build-up and allows the finishing polish to work correctly without drying out too fast. On a rotary, keep RPM conservative and keep the pad moving constantly.
How do I prime the pad before use?
Apply a few small dots of your chosen finishing polish directly to the pad face before your first pass. Work it into the surface gently on a low speed to prime the foam. This prevents the dry pad from absorbing too much product on the first section and ensures an even spread from the start.
How do I clean and maintain the pad after use?
After each session, remove dried polish residue by washing the pad by hand with warm water and a mild pad-cleaning solution. Work the foam gently - avoid wringing or twisting it, as that can damage the cell structure. Allow the pad to air dry face-down away from direct sunlight before storing. A clean pad performs consistently and lasts significantly longer.
Can I use the White Space Pad to apply a ceramic coating or sealant?
The White Space Pad is a polishing pad and is not recommended for ceramic coating application, which requires a dedicated suede or foam applicator block to control product spread and prevent high spots. For a paint sealant or finishing wax, the pad can be used at very low speed as an applicator, but a hand applicator pad will give you more control over thin, even coverage.
Will this pad work after paint correction on PPF or wraps?
The White Space Pad can be used on PPF and vinyl wraps for a final gloss refining pass, provided you use a finishing polish specifically formulated as safe for those surfaces. Keep machine speed low and avoid dwelling in one spot to prevent heat build-up on the film. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
