Autolock 7" Buffing Polishing Pads Kit — 6-Piece 7in (180mm) Foam & Wool Set for 6.7" Backing Plate, Cutting to Finishing

Autolock 7" Buffing Polishing Pads kit is a six-piece set of 180mm sponge and wool polishing pads designed to fit 6.7" backing plates for cutting, polishing and waxing automotive paint.

This kit supplies a range of foam densities plus a wool cutting pad so you can move from aggressive compound removal to fine finishing without swapping brands. Each pad features a 7-inch front face with a slightly smaller 6.7-inch hook-and-loop back to reduce edge contact, help retain compound at high speed, and improve heat dissipation during heavy-duty polishing. The pads are washable, reusable and engineered to work on dual-action, rotary and orbital polishers for paint correction, glazing, and protection steps.

How do these pads perform on scratched or oxidized paint?

The included wool and heavy-cut foam are intended for removing oxidation, moderate scratches and surface defects before refining. Use the orange heavy-cut pad with a suitable compound to break down oxidation and restore flatter paint quickly; follow with finer foam pads to blend and refine gloss. Avoid excessive pressure—let the polisher and pad do the work for even correction.

• Orange wool/foam for heavy compounding and oxidation removal.
• Yellow/blue foam pads for moderate defect removal and swirl reduction.
• White/black finishing pads for refining and applying sealants or wax.
• Hook-and-loop backing reduces pad overhang and edge marring.

Will these pads fit my polisher and stay secure at high speed?

Each pad is designed with a 6.7" (170mm) hook-and-loop backing that matches common backing plates used on 5.5–7" polishers, so compatibility is broad across dual-action, rotary and random orbital machines. The backing and pad bond securely under load, and the pad construction helps lock polishing compounds in place to prevent fling-off at higher RPMs. For best results, match pad size to your polisher's backing plate and test RPM on a small area first.

• 7" face with 6.7" hook-and-loop back for wide compatibility.
• Works with DA, RO, rotary and air polishers.
• Designed to hold compound and resist fling at speed.
• Washable and reusable for multiple uses per pad.

How should I clean and maintain these polishing pads?

After each session rinse pads under warm water and gently work out residue by hand or with a pad-cleaning brush, then let them air-dry completely before storage. Avoid high-heat drying which can degrade foam and hook-and-loop backing; proper cleaning preserves pad life and performance. If heavily soiled, use a mild detergent or a pad-cleaning solution to break down oils and waxes.

• Rinse and hand-squeeze to remove compound and debris.
• Use pad-cleaning brush or mild detergent for deep cleaning.
• Air-dry completely to protect foam and backing hook life.
• Rotate pads across jobs to extend overall kit lifespan.

What results can I expect when polishing and waxing with this kit?

When used correctly—compounding with the heavy pads and refining with the finer foams—you can expect clearer reflections, reduced swirls and a smoother finish ready for wax or sealant. The finishing pads are optimized for even product spread and glossy results without adding micro-marring. Performance will depend on paint condition, compound choice and technique, but this kit gives the progressive steps needed for professional-looking outcomes.

• Progressive step kit for compounding, polishing and finishing.
• Improves gloss and reduces visible defects when used properly.
• Finishing pads ideal for applying waxes and glazes evenly.
• Open-cell foam promotes airflow and heat dissipation.

If you perform paint correction, regular maintenance polishing, or apply sealants and waxes, this washable, reusable set gives a cost-effective way to move from heavy compounding to final finishing using a single trusted brand.
