Constructed from high-density polyurethane and featuring a grooved face, the pads combine aggressive removal with controlled airflow so you can tackle 1500\/2000 grit sanding marks, medium oxidation and swirl correction, then follow up with finishing steps or wax application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these pads remove sanding marks and swirls effectively?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe T80 high-cut foam uses a denser cell structure and a slightly firmer face to generate more abrasion with a polishing compound, helping lift heavy and medium defects faster than soft finishing pads. The grooved surface channels abrasives and paste evenly so contact stays consistent across the paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-density polyurethane for stronger cutting action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrooves store excess compound and spread abrasives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpecifically suited to 1500\/2000 grit sand mark correction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill these pads work with my polisher and compounds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the pads are sized at 6.5 inches overall diameter and fit 6-inch (150 mm) backing plates commonly used on RO, DA and rotary machines.
