Professional foam and wool polishing pads for car detailing, paint correction, scratch removal, one-step polishing and final finishing. Choose the right pad by correction stage, machine type and working area.
Choose Your Pad ↓A polishing pad controls how much correction power reaches the paint, how much heat is created and how clean the final finish looks. Before choosing a pad, check the defect level, panel size and whether you are cutting, refining or finishing.
Use stronger pads for oxidation, deep scratches and heavy swirl marks. Use medium foam pads for regular correction. Use soft finishing foam when the goal is gloss, clarity and a swirl-free finish.
Start here when the paint has heavy oxidation, deeper scratches, severe swirl marks or neglected clear coat. This stage is about defect removal, not final gloss.
High-performance wool polishing pad for fast defect removal with better control and reduced vibration during intensive paint correction.
Aggressive closed-cell foam cutting pad for oxidation, deeper scratches and severe paint defects where standard cutting foam is not enough.
The Basic Pad foam range covers the most common detailing workflow: cut defects, refine the paint, or choose a one-step pad when you need correction and gloss in one process.
Medium foam cutting pad for regular paint correction, swirl mark removal and restoring clarity on automotive clear coat.
Versatile one-step polishing pad for faster correction when you want a cleaner finish without using multiple pad stages.
Soft finishing foam pad for final polishing, haze removal, micro-marring correction and high-gloss paint refinement.
Use larger pads for broad panels and smaller pads for controlled correction around edges, bumpers, pillars, mirrors and tighter areas.
Best for doors, bonnet, roof and large painted panels. Faster coverage and more efficient correction on open surfaces. Approx. 5 / 5.5 in pad face.
Best for bumpers, pillars, curved areas, motorcycles and tight body lines. More control with less risk around edges. Approx. 3 / 3.5 in pad face.
Basic Pad foam models use a 20 mm profile, giving a stable balance between control, pressure transfer and machine feedback during polishing.
Practical answers for choosing foam and wool polishing pads for car detailing, paint correction and final finishing.
Start with the least aggressive pad that can correct the defect. For heavy oxidation or deep scratches, use Pro Wool or Basic Pad Heavy Cut. For moderate swirls, start with Basic Pad Cut.
Cutting pads remove defects faster but can leave haze on some paints. Finishing pads are softer and are used to refine gloss, remove light micro-marring and improve clarity after correction.
Use a wool pad when you need stronger cut than foam, especially on neglected paint, sanding marks, oxidation or deeper defects. After wool correction, refine the paint with a foam pad.
A one-step pad is designed to combine correction and finishing in one polishing process. It is useful when you want better gloss and defect reduction without a full multi-stage correction.
Choose 125/140 mm for larger panels and faster coverage. Choose 80/90 mm for bumpers, mirrors, pillars, tight curves and smaller working areas where control matters more.
Yes. Work Stuff polishing pads are designed for machine polishing workflows and can be used with compatible dual-action and rotary polishers when the backing plate size matches the pad.
