Sandwox Black Foam Compounding Pad Step 3 (Finishing)

8 Inch Black Foam Polishing Pad (Step 3)

Sandwox’s Foam Compounding Pads are top performers for auto body compounding. These pads are designed to streamline the process and enhance results, benefiting each task and your overall auto body operations. Their foam construction incorporates features like specially patterned pad faces to hold more compound, reduce slinging, and increase surface contact for optimal efficiency.

Compared to wool pads, foam pads are generally gentler and create a smoother finish, making them perfect for the crucial compounding stages of paint refinishing. They can handle higher RPMs and use a blend of cutting action and heat buildup to delicately remove fine scratches and swirl marks by slightly melting the surface coating.

We recommend the 7-inch Sandwox backing plate for better performance

When do you use it?

Typically foam cutting pads are the first paint correction step after the normal steps of washing, drying, and claying the paint. Foam cutting pads are used to remove the deepest and most severe paint defects followed by the polishing step where a less aggressive pad and product are used.

* Step 1 white foam pad is used to remove all sand scratches.
* Step 2 blue polishing foam pad is designed to remove any swirl marks.
