Medium cut or polishing pads for your car sit between your heavy cutting pads and your final finishing or glazing pads. Made from either foam, microfibre or wool, they offer a middle grade cut to machine polish your car, removing light swirls or scratches.

Why do I need a medium pad?

With the variety of car paint finishes on the market, harder paint lacquer will require a slightly firmer pad to refine for final gloss. Heavy cut pads, even though fantastic on harder European paint, may be overly aggressive for softer Asian paintwork. Medium pads' step in as your first cut/polish stage to remove those unsightly swirls.

What pad material should I use?
