BT-6025 Sponge Polishing Pad For Car Paint Polishing
Key Features to Consider
Pad Size: The diameter of the pad, usually ranging from 3 inches to 8 inches, depending on the area being polished.
Pad Density: The hardness of the foam, which affects the aggressiveness of the pad. Higher density (firm) pads are more aggressive, while lower density (soft) pads are for finishing.
Attachment Method: Most pads are attached to polishers using hook-and-loop (Velcro) backing, making them easy to change.
Certainly! Here's a general overview of the specifications for cutting pads, polishing pads, and finishing pads. Note that these specs can vary depending on the brand and specific product line, but they typically include information about pad size, foam density, and intended use.
