Built for Glass
Real correction where foam pads fall short
Most polishing pads are built for paint. The Vitro Polishing Pad is built for glass - its three-layer wool and polyamide construction delivers the abrasiveness glass needs to remove scratches and haze in a controlled, consistent way on both rotary and orbital machines.
Why Vitro
A pad that understands glass
Purpose-built construction for genuine glass correction results.
-
Dedicated Glass Cut
Napped wool face delivers the abrasiveness glass correction actually requires.
-
Machine Flexible
Works on rotary and dual-action orbital polishers without modification.
-
Stable Under Pressure
Multi-layer build maintains even contact and consistent pad face pressure.
-
Compound Matched
Engineered to pair with ServFaces Vitro Polish for optimal clarity.
Why pad choice matters for glass correction
ServFaces Vitro Polishing Pad vs a typical cheaper foam alternative
Not all polishing pads work equally well on glass. Foam pads built for paintwork can glaze over quickly on hard glass surfaces, reducing cut and leaving haze behind. Here is how the ServFaces Vitro Polishing Pad compares to a typical budget foam pad on the features that matter most for glass correction.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose-built wool face for effective cut on glass | Yes | No |
| Compatible with both rotary and dual-action orbital polishers | Yes | Yes |
| Multi-layer backing for consistent pressure across the pad face | Yes | No |
| Removes light to moderate scratches and haze from glass | Yes | Yes |
| Controlled heat build-up at low to medium machine speeds | Yes | No |
| Available in a range of sizes to suit different panels | No | Yes |
Precision Construction
Three layers doing specific jobs
The napped wool face grips compound and bites into glass effectively, the wool/polyester/cotton mid-layer cushions pressure evenly across the surface, and the polyamide backing holds everything stable on the machine. Each layer earns its place.

Questions
Frequently asked
What surfaces is the Vitro Polishing Pad designed for?
It is designed exclusively for glass surfaces - windscreens, side windows, rear glass and mirrors. The multi-layer wool construction is optimised for the hardness of automotive glass, not paint, so keep it off paintwork.
Which polishing compound should I use with this pad?
ServFaces recommends pairing it with their Vitro Polish compound. Vitro Polish is formulated to work with the pad's napped face and layer construction for the best cut and clarity on glass.
Can I use this pad on a dual-action orbital polisher?
Yes. The pad is compatible with both rotary and dual-action orbital polishers. On a DA, use a mid-range speed setting and moderate pressure to let the napped face work effectively without overheating the glass.
What machine backing plate size does the 155mm pad fit?
A 125mm to 150mm backing plate is typical for a 155mm pad, giving a small overhang that helps with edge contact. Check your specific polisher's backing plate diameter and ensure it suits a 155mm pad before ordering.
How do I prepare the glass before using this pad?
Wash and fully decontaminate the glass first. Remove any iron fallout, water spots or bonded contamination before polishing - working over contamination will load the pad quickly and reduce its cutting ability. A clean surface also lets you see your results accurately.
How do I clean and maintain the pad after use?
Rinse the pad under warm water immediately after use to flush out compound residue. Gently work the face with your fingers to clear compacted material. Allow it to air-dry completely before storing. Avoid machine washing, which can distort the layered construction.
Can I use the Vitro Polishing Pad on coated or treated glass?
This pad is intended for correction on bare, clean glass. Using it over an existing glass coating or sealant will remove that layer. If the glass has a coating, remove it first or accept that the correction process will strip it and plan to reapply afterwards.
What finish does the pad leave on glass?
Used with Vitro Polish, the pad removes light scratches, water spot etching and polishing haze to leave glass clear and optically clean. After correction, follow up with a dedicated glass sealant or coating to protect the surface and restore hydrophobic performance.
