The Basic Pad Heavy Cut is a professional-grade heavy cut polishing pad designed for maximum paint correction performance. It is engineered to remove deep scratches, severe oxidation and heavy paint defects, making it the ideal paint cut pad for demanding correction work on automotive clear coat.
Crafted from premium closed-cell foam, this heavy cut pad delivers aggressive yet controlled cutting power throughout the entire buffing process. The foam structure maintains consistent performance even during extended polishing sessions, ensuring predictable correction results on severely neglected paintwork.
The side slant design improves access to edges, curves and tight body lines, while the central cooling hole enhances pad alignment and reduces heat buildup during intensive machine polishing. A high-grammage Velcro backing ensures secure attachment to both dual action and rotary polishers, minimizing movement and maximizing stability during heavy correction.
