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.
