JMD-EPLC GRAY FOAM 6.5”ORBITAL PAD

The image displays a grey foam heavy-duty orbital pad, likely a 6.5-inch size, designed for use in car detailing, specifically with orbital polishers.

Features and Usage of a Grey Foam Heavy Duty Orbital Pad:

1. 1. Purpose:

This type of pad is typically used for heavy cutting or compounding to remove significant imperfections like deep scratches or oxidation from a car’s paint surface, often in conjunction with a heavy-duty compound.

1. 2. Construction:

Heavy-duty foam pads, like the grey one shown, are engineered with dense foam and small cells to maximize performance and prevent the polish from being absorbed too quickly, ensuring it stays on the working surface.

1. 3. Compatibility:

These pads are designed for use with forced rotation or dual-action (DA) orbital polishers, including long-throw DA polishers, which are common in car detailing for achieving a swirl-free finish.

1. 4. Application:

1. • Attach the pad securely to the orbital polisher’s backing plate.

1. • Apply a suitable heavy-duty compound or polish to the pad or directly to the car’s surface.

1. • Work in small sections, using consistent pressure and overlapping passes to effectively remove imperfections.

1. • Maintain proper pad rotation and oscillation for optimal performance, and change pads frequently if doing extensive correction work to maintain cutting ability and prolong pad life.
