Polishing Foam Pad Silver 180 mm M14 – Hard White (model 10695)

Polishing Foam Pad Silver 180 mm M14 – Hard White is a 180 mm diameter polishing pad made of high-density white foam with an M14 threaded attachment for direct mounting on rotary polishers and machines. Designed for aggressive polishing and effective paint correction, the pad provides firm support and abrasion suitable for removing moderate defects, oxidation and compound residues on painted surfaces. The hard foam construction ensures controlled cut and consistent contact with flat and mildly contoured panels.

Advantages

This hard white foam pad offers stable performance during demanding correction tasks and retains its shape under pressure, enabling even material removal across the work surface. The M14 threaded mount provides secure and simple installation on compatible polishers without additional adapters. The foam’s density balances cutting ability and heat dissipation, helping to reduce pad glazing and extend working life under typical workshop conditions.

Suitable for

• Aggressive paint correction on automotive body panels
• Removing oxidation and compound residues
• Preparing surfaces before finer polishing stages
• Polishing flat and slightly curved painted surfaces

Key specifications

• Diameter: 180 mm
• Attachment: M14 threaded mount for rotary polishers
• Foam density: hard (white foam)
• Primary use: aggressive cutting and paint correction
• Compatible with polishers that accept M14 backing accessories

How to use

Attach the pad to a compatible polisher using the M14 thread and ensure it is tightened securely before operation. Start with a low rotational speed to seat the pad and the polish compound, then adjust speed according to paint hardness and defect severity. Work in overlapping passes with moderate pressure, checking progress frequently to avoid overworking a single area. Clean the pad regularly during use to remove build-up and maintain cutting performance. After finishing the aggressive stage, switch to progressively softer pads and finer compounds for finishing and gloss enhancement.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, control machine speed to prevent heat build-up, and test on an inconspicuous area before full application. Store the pad flat and away from direct sunlight and solvents to preserve foam properties.
