SPTA 6-Inch Polishing Pad Set — 5 Foam Pads + Microfiber Finish, 6"/150mm Hook-and-Loop, Durable Washable

SPTA's 6-inch polishing pad set is a complete kit of five foam cutting/polishing pads plus a microfiber finishing disc designed for DA and rotary polishers to compound, polish and wax automotive and furniture surfaces.

This compact kit supplies multiple foam densities and a microfiber finish pad so you can move from heavy compounding to final waxing without changing product families. The pads are hook-and-loop backed for fast attachment to any 6"/150mm backing plate and are machine-washable for repeated use. Constructed from high-resiliency German-style foam, the set balances cutting power, swirl removal and finishing finesse for hobbyists and detailers who want utility and longevity in one affordable pack.

Which pads in this set handle deep scratches and heavy oxidation?

The firmer green and yellow foam discs are intended for the most aggressive work: cutting through oxidation, moderate scratches and old coatings. Use these with a suitable compound at moderate speed and light pressure to avoid overheating the paint.

• Green: highest firmness for heavy compounding and oxidation removal
• Yellow: strong cutting with slightly softer feel for blended correction
• Hook-and-loop backing ensures secure fit during aggressive use

How do I transition from correction to a glossy finish?

After addressing defects with the heavier pads, switch to the orange or blue polishing pads for refining surface texture and removing residual haze. Finish with the red foam or the included microfiber buffing pad to lay down wax or sealant and enhance gloss.

• Orange/blue: mid-grade polishing to remove light swirls and refine clarity
• Red foam or microfiber: final finishing and product application without marring
• Use progressively finer pads and compatible polish/wax for best results

Will these pads fit my machine and survive repeated use?

The pads are sized for any 6"/150mm backing plate with an industry-standard hook-and-loop attachment. They are washable, designed to tolerate the shear forces of dual-action and rotary polishers, and engineered to remain intact through multiple vehicles when used and cleaned properly.

• Standard 6" (150mm) diameter fits most backing plates
• Durable foam resists tearing and delamination during normal polishing
• Machine-washable for extended service life and cost savings

How should I care for and clean the pads between uses?

Rinse pads under warm water to flush out abrasive residue, use a pad brush with mild detergent if needed, and allow to air dry fully before storage. Proper cleaning preserves foam structure and prevents cross-contamination of compounds.

• Flush debris immediately after use to avoid compound buildup
• Use a pad cleaning brush and gentle cleaner for deeper cleaning
• Dry fully flat or hanging to retain shape and hook-and-loop adhesion

Who this is for: Detailers, DIY car enthusiasts and furniture restorers who need an economical but versatile pad selection for a range of tasks — from cutting and polishing to final waxing. If you work with 6" backing plates and want pads that are reusable, compatible with multiple polishers, and cover the entire correction-to-finish workflow, this SPTA kit provides a practical, all-in-one solution.
