Heavy-Cut Microfibre
Remove serious scratches in fewer passes
The Thermo Microfibre Pad's fibres are embedded on a material spacer that concentrates shearing force directly on the clearcoat, so you pull out deep scratches and heavy swirls on a DA machine that would otherwise need rotary correction.
Why Thermo Microfibre
Engineered for real correction work
Four reasons professional detailers reach for this pad first.
-
Maximum Shearing Force
Microfibre fibres on a material spacer cut deeper and faster than foam alone on a DA machine.
-
Heat-Resistant Sponge
THERMO technology keeps the sponge stable under high temperatures so cut does not drop off during a long correction session.
-
Extended Pad Life
Significantly more durable than standard cutting pads, meaning lower cost per correction job over time.
-
System-Matched Performance
Abrasive cell size is matched to ZviZZer compounds, especially HC4000, for predictable cut and residue clean-up.
Thermo Microfibre vs Standard Foam
Not all cutting pads are the same
A standard foam cutting pad will remove light to moderate defects, but it struggles with deep scratches and loses cut as heat builds up. Here is how the ZviZZer Thermo Microfibre Pad compares to a typical budget foam option.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Cuts heavy scratches on a DA machine | Yes | No |
| Heat-resistant backing retains cut under temperature | Yes | No |
| Compatible with DA polishers | Yes | Yes |
| Available in multiple sizes | Yes | Yes |
| Requires a follow-up finishing step for high gloss | Yes | Yes |
| Durability beyond a few correction sessions | Yes | No |
Built to Last
Pads that hold their cut session after session
The THERMO sponge resists heat build-up that kills standard foam pads mid-job. ZviZZer's Detailing Line pads are several times more durable than conventional options, so you spend less time swapping pads and more time correcting paint.

Questions
Frequently asked
What machine is this pad designed for?
The ZviZZer Thermo Microfibre Pad is designed for dual-action (DA) polishers. It sits on a 5-inch backing plate - confirm your backing plate diameter before ordering.
Which compound does ZviZZer recommend with this pad?
ZviZZer specifically recommends pairing this pad with their HC4000 compound. The abrasive particle size in HC4000 is matched to the open cells in this pad's THERMO sponge, which is how you get the best cut and the cleanest result.
Will I need to follow up with a finishing pad?
Yes, in most cases. The microfibre pad and HC4000 combination is designed for heavy correction. Once the scratches are removed, use a soft foam pad with a finishing polish to refine the surface before applying any protection layer.
What paint surfaces is this pad safe to use on?
This pad is intended for use on clearcoated paint surfaces. It is a cutting pad, so avoid using it on single-stage paint, bare metal or plastics without testing first. It is not designed for glass or wheels.
Why does it say THERMO technology - what does that mean in practice?
DA machines generate heat at the pad face during correction, especially when cutting hard clearcoats. The THERMO sponge is engineered to resist high temperatures so the pad does not break down or lose its cutting properties mid-session. It is what gives this pad its long service life compared to standard foam pads.
How do I prime the pad before use?
Apply a few dots of compound directly to the pad face and work it into the fibres at low speed before beginning your correction pass. This prevents the dry microfibre from absorbing too much product on the first section and gives you more consistent cut from the start.
How do I clean this pad after use?
Rinse the pad under warm running water and work the compound residue out of the microfibre with your fingers or a pad-cleaning brush. Allow it to air dry completely before storing. Avoid wringing the pad, which can distort the sponge and affect its backing-plate grip.
Can I use this pad with other brands of compound?
ZviZZer states the polishing system is optimised for their own pastes due to abrasive size being matched to the open cells in the sponge. That said, most professional-grade heavy-cut compounds will work with this pad. If you are using a compound from another brand, start with a test section to dial in pressure and speed before committing to the full panel.
