Questions
Frequently asked
What level of correction does the Yellow Space Pad deliver?
The Yellow Space Pad is rated as a medium pad, making it well-suited for removing light to moderate swirl marks, fine scratches and oxidation. It is not designed for heavy defect correction - for deep scratches or severe marring, a dedicated cutting pad and compound would be more appropriate.
What machines is this pad compatible with?
The Yellow Space Pad works with both dual-action (DA) and rotary polishers, depending on the diameter you select. Pads99 offers this pad in all market-standard diameters from 35 mm to 180 mm, so you can match it to whatever machine you run. Check the backing plate size on your polisher and select accordingly.
Which polish or compound should I pair with this pad?
A one-step all-in-one polish is the natural partner for this pad - it suits the medium-grade foam and allows you to correct and enhance in a single stage. You can also use a light compound or finishing polish depending on the defect level of the paint you are working on.
Is the Yellow Space Pad safe on all paint types?
Yes, the Yellow Space Pad is safe for use on standard automotive clearcoats, single-stage paint and softer European paints. As with any correction pad, always start at a lower speed setting and test in a small area first, particularly on thin or older paintwork.
Can this pad be used on paint protection film (PPF) or vinyl wraps?
We would recommend caution on PPF and vinyl. A medium foam pad at working speed can generate enough heat to lift edges or mar softer film surfaces. For PPF, use a dedicated finishing pad and a film-safe polish at a low machine speed, and avoid pad edges overlapping onto exposed bodywork joins.
How do I prime and clean the pad between uses?
Prime the pad with a small amount of polish before starting, then apply product directly to the pad or the panel in small dots. During the session, clear excess product build-up with a pad cleaning brush while the machine runs at low speed. After the job, wash the pad by hand with warm water and a pad-cleaning solution, then leave it to air dry completely before storage - avoid wringing the foam, as it deforms the cell structure.
How many uses can I expect from a Pads99 Yellow Space Pad?
With proper care - rinsing after every use, avoiding heavy soiling and storing flat - a Pads99 German-manufactured foam pad should last through multiple detailing sessions. Foam lifespan depends heavily on how aggressively the pad is used and how well it is cleaned. Discard the pad when the foam surface becomes torn, heavily compressed or no longer responds to washing.
What finish does the Yellow Space Pad leave behind?
Used with an appropriate one-step or finishing polish, the Yellow Space Pad leaves a refined, high-gloss finish that is ready for a sealant, wax or ceramic coating without requiring an additional finishing pad stage. It strikes the balance between doing meaningful correction work and not leaving haze that needs to be polished out again.
