Product-specific selection notes

How the hard foam pad differs

Use the least aggressive combination that reaches the required correction. A hard pad should be evaluated on a test area with the selected compound and machine before wider use.

  • Positioned for higher-cut foam correction rather than final finishing.
  • Compare it with the medium pad when the defect level is lower or a more balanced step is required.
  • Compare it with the soft pad when the objective is final refinement rather than defect removal.

Pad selection and controlled-use sequence

  1. Assess whether foam correction is sufficient

    Inspect the defect and compare the hard foam route with a wool-pad route only after a controlled test.

  2. Prime and centre the pad

    Use the current compound instructions and ensure the pad is correctly fitted to the backing plate.

  3. Correct a small section

    Use controlled machine movement, pressure and section size while monitoring heat and residue.

  4. Inspect before refinement

    Clean the area and decide whether another correction pass or a medium/soft refinement stage is required.
