CARPRO Gloss Pad — ultra-soft finishing polishing pad

CARPRO Gloss Pad — ultra-soft finishing polishing pad

Gloss Pad is designed to produce a high-gloss finish on many paint types. Its open-cell Japanese polyurethane foam is very soft and quick to rebound; a dense urethane interlayer helps maintain even pressure on curved panels and absorbs vibration before it reaches the polishing face. The beveled profile gives extra clearance around tight areas. CARPRO Japan recommends pairing it with Reflect, Essence or Essence Plus. The product is one pad per package; choose the 76/85 mm or 125/140 mm option.

How to use

1. Centre the pad securely on a compatible backing plate before fitting it to a dual-action or rotary polisher.
2. Use a finishing polish suitable for the paint and follow that polish's instructions. Work one section at a time and keep the machine moving; do not hold the pad still or overwork one area.
3. After each section, clean the foam with a pad brush. Add a few drops of polish before moving to the next section.
4. Clean and store the pad according to the polish and pad-care instructions after finishing.

Performance
