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.

Application route

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.

Foam Polishing Pad – Hard FAQs

When should I use the Lunaris Hard Cut Foam Pad?

This pad is best for removing deep scratches, oxidation, and heavy swirl marks. It works well as the first step in a multi-stage polishing process before refining with a medium or soft pad.

Can I use this pad on all types of paint finishes?

Yes, but it is recommended for harder surfaces and heavily damaged paint. Always test on an inconspicuous area before full application to ensure optimal results.

Should I use this pad by hand or with a machine polisher?

This pad is designed for use with rotary or dual-action polishers. Manual application may not provide the same level of correction.

How do I clean and maintain this pad?

Clean with a pad brush after each use and wash with mild soap and warm water. Allow it to air dry completely before storing.
