Polishing Pad with Hook-and-Loop, Dedra 150 mm diameter x 25 mm thickness, very hard (green)

Dedra very hard polishing pad with hook-and-loop backing, 150 mm diameter and 25 mm thickness (green) is a firm-density foam pad designed for machine polishing and compounding. It is intended to fit polishers that use a 150 mm backing plate with hook-and-loop attachment. The pad's very hard foam structure provides strong pressure transfer for aggressive cutting, leveling and finishing tasks on painted automotive surfaces, metal and other hard substrates.

Advantages

The very hard foam construction delivers consistent contact and efficient removal of defects such as moderate scratches, sanding marks and oxidation when used with appropriate abrasive compounds. Hook-and-loop backing allows quick mounting and secure retention on compatible backing plates while enabling fast pad changes. The pad's 150 mm diameter and 25 mm thickness combine surface area and stiffness to maintain stability at higher rotational speeds, supporting both rotary and random orbital polishers when matched with the correct machine and compound.

Suitable for

• Machine compounding and aggressive polishing on automotive paint
• Leveling and defect removal on metal surfaces
• Preparing hard surfaces before finer polishing stages
• Use with rotary and random orbital polishers that accept 150 mm backing plates

Key specifications

• Diameter: 150 mm
• Thickness: 25 mm
• Foam firmness: very hard (high density)
• Attachment: hook-and-loop backing for quick mounting
• Colour: green (firm grade indicator)
• Compatible with rotary and random orbital polishers using 150 mm backing plates

How to use

Mount the pad on a compatible 150 mm hook-and-loop backing plate, ensuring it is centered and securely attached. Use the pad with a suitable cutting or compounding abrasive on a rotary or random orbital polisher. Start at low speed to spread the compound, then increase speed and apply moderate pressure to achieve cutting action while maintaining control. Move the polisher with overlapping passes, checking progress frequently. After compounding, switch to a softer pad and finer polish for finishing steps. Clean the pad after use by removing residue with a brush or compressed air and store it flat to preserve shape.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test on a small inconspicuous area first to confirm compatibility with the surface and compound. Use appropriate safety equipment and follow polisher manufacturer guidelines regarding speed and pressure. Avoid excessive heat buildup by keeping the pad moving and using moderate pressure; for delicate or thin paint, consider a softer pad and milder compound.
