The Polishing Pad: Key to Perfect Paint Surfaces
The polish of a vehicle's paint requires the interplay of three important components: a polishing machine, a polishing pad, and the right polish. The polishing pad plays a crucial role as it comes into direct contact with the paint and, together with the polishing machine and the polish, achieves the desired results. Choosing the right pad is essential to achieving a flawless surface.

Excentric or Rotary – The Differences in Polishing Pads
Polishing pads come in various sizes and designs, depending on the type of polishing machine. Excentric pads are often conically shaped and equipped with a central hole to dissipate heat and compensate for the movements of eccentric machines. Rotary pads, on the other hand, have rounded edges and are ideal for machines with a uniform rotational movement. Manufacturers like Rupes, Flex, and Lake Country offer a wide selection of high-quality pads tailored to various needs.
Materials for Polishing Pads – Microfiber, Foam, and More
Depending on the condition of the paint and the desired treatment, different materials are used:
- Foam Pads: Perfect for one-step polishes, medium, and finishing work.
- Microfiber Pads: Ideal for heavy cutting and removing deep scratches.
- Wool Pads: Particularly effective for rough sanding and oxidized surfaces.
- Hybrid Pads: A combination of microfiber and lambswool for maximum flexibility.
Manufacturers like Sonax, Menzerna, and Chemical Guys provide high-quality options for every application.
The Right Size for Every Job
The selection of the right size depends on the area to be processed. While smaller pads (30mm, 50mm, 75mm) are ideal for precise work in hard-to-reach areas, larger pads (125mm, 150mm) are excellent for large surfaces like hoods or roofs. Particularly for large vehicles, caravans, and boats, 150mm and 180mm pads are extremely popular.
