Designed for machine use, the pads are sized to fit 3\", 5\" and 6\" backing plates and include adapters to work with most dual action (DA) and random orbital (RO) polishers. The set mixes cutting, polishing and finishing pads so you can progress through compounding to gloss enhancement with fewer product changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these microfiber pads handle paint correction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPTA microfiber pads use superfine synthetic fibers that provide cutting power without aggressive shredding. The construction removes moderate defects—light swirls, oxidation and polishing haze—while preserving finish clarity when used with the correct compound and speed. The thick foam core controls pressure and prevents pad collapse under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuperfine microfiber face for controlled cutting and finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThickened resilient sponge core imported from Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for OEM single-stage and clear-coated paints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces polishing-induced swirl when paired with proper technique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich pad sizes and accessories are included, and how do I use them?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes a mix of three colors\/sizes to guide use: three pads in three colors across the 3\", 5\" and 6\" diameters, plus matching 5\/8-11 threaded backing plates.
