Product-specific selection notes

Where the medium pad is most relevant

Choose this pad when a balanced polishing stage is required, then inspect the test area before deciding whether a harder correction pad or softer finishing pad is more appropriate.

Positioned between the hard correction pad and the soft finishing pad.
Useful when the objective is balanced polishing, refinement after a stronger correction stage or a controlled one-step trial.
The correct result depends on the compound, machine, paint condition and operator technique, not the pad alone.

Application route

Pad selection and controlled-use sequence

Confirm the intended polishing stage
Decide whether the task is a balanced one-step trial, refinement after correction or maintenance polishing.
Match the compound to the remaining defects
Use a compatible product and begin on a test area rather than assuming one combination suits every paint system.
Polish with consistent overlap
Keep section size, machine movement and residue under control so the result can be evaluated accurately.
Compare the finish under suitable light
Move to a harder pad only if more correction is genuinely needed, or to a soft pad when final refinement remains.

Foam Polishing Pad – Medium FAQs

How does the Medium Cut pad differ from Hard and Soft Cut pads?

The Medium Cut pad provides a balance between cutting power and finishing ability. It’s more aggressive than the Soft Cut pad but less so than the Hard Cut, which suits refining surfaces after heavy defect removal.

What compounds work best with the Medium Cut pad?

It pairs well with Lunaris Liquid PSXN Matting Compound for surface refinement and sheen adjustment.

Can I achieve a high-gloss finish with this pad?

While it improves clarity and shine, for a true high-gloss finish, follow up with the Soft Cut Pad and a finishing compound.

Will this pad work on marine surfaces?

Yes. It’s great for polishing marine gel coats and removing light oxidation or weathering.
