The Polishing Pad: Key to Perfect Paint Surfaces
The polishing of a vehicle's paint requires the interplay of three key components: a polishing machine, a polishing pad, and the right polish. The polishing pad plays a crucial role as it comes directly into contact with the paint and, together with the polishing machine and the polish, ensures the desired results. Choosing the right pad is essential for 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 conical in shape, with a central hole to dissipate heat and balance the movements of eccentric machines. Rotary pads have rounded edges and are ideal for machines with 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 finish, different materials are used:
- Foam pads: Perfect for one-step polishes, medium, and finishing works.
- Microfiber pads: Ideal for heavy cutting and removing deep scratches.
- Wool pads: Especially effective for heavy sanding and oxidized surfaces.
- Hybrid pads: A combination of microfiber and lambskin for maximum flexibility.
Manufacturers like Sonax, Menzerna, and Chemical Guys offer high-quality options for every application.
The Right Size for Every Task
The choice of the right size depends on the area to be worked on. Smaller pads (30mm, 50mm, 75mm) are ideal for precise work in hard-to-reach areas, while larger pads (125mm, 150mm) are perfect for large areas like hoods or roofs. Especially on larger vehicles, caravans, and boats, 150mm and 180mm pads are extremely popular.
