Finishing Stage
A clean, gloss-ready finish - every time
The Pads99 White Space Pad is built for the moment that matters most: the final pass. Its soft white foam works finishing polishes down to a clear, deep gloss without introducing new marring, leaving the paint primed for a ceramic coating, sealant, or wax.

Questions
Frequently asked
What is the cut level of the White Space Pad?
The White Space Pad is a finishing pad, meaning it operates at a very low cut level. It is intended for the final stage of a multi-step correction process, refining the paint after cutting and polishing pads have already removed the defects. Do not use it to remove heavy swirl marks or scratches.
Which machines is this pad compatible with?
The 3-inch format is suited to dual-action (DA) polishers and forced-rotation machines that accept a 3-inch backing plate. It is a popular size for working on tighter panels, bumpers, door handles, and areas that larger pads cannot reach cleanly.
Which backing plate should I use with this pad?
Use any standard 3-inch (75 mm) hook-and-loop backing plate. Ensure the backing plate is clean and that the pad seats flat and fully before starting. A slightly smaller backing plate (for example 70 mm) can also work and gives the pad edge a little more flex on curved surfaces.
What polishes or products work best with a finishing pad?
Pair the White Space Pad with a fine finishing polish or a light glaze. It is not suited to heavy compounds - those require a cutting or polishing pad. Once you have finished the correction stages with heavier pads, switch to this pad and a finishing polish to refine the surface before applying a wax, sealant, or ceramic coating.
Is this pad safe on all paint types, including single-stage and delicate finishes?
Yes. Because the White Space Pad has a very low cut level, it is safe on all paint types, including single-stage paint, soft European lacquers, and delicate finishes. Always work at appropriate machine speeds and use a suitable finishing product for your paint type.
Can I use this pad by hand?
The pad can be used by hand in a pinch for applying a light finishing product or glaze, but it is designed to perform on a machine. Hand pressure alone will not generate the heat and movement needed to fully work a finishing polish on paintwork.
How do I clean and maintain the pad?
After each use, clean the pad with a pad cleaning brush or pad washer while it is still on the machine, or rinse it under running water and gently work out the product with your fingers. Allow it to air-dry fully before storage. Avoid wringing or twisting the foam, as this can distort the pad's shape and reduce its lifespan.
Where is the Pads99 White Space Pad manufactured?
Pads99 polishing pads are manufactured entirely in Germany under strict quality controls. The range is designed to meet global professional detailing standards while remaining accessible in price.
