Hi-Gloss Pads for Circular Polishers ]
New, 8.5 inch CCS Technology | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CCS Technology solves this problem using strategic patterns of partially closed foam cells. These cells slow the rate of polish absorption, gradually releasing polish as needed by the operator. CCS Pockets reduce surface tension, prevent pad skipping and allow the operator to run the pad flat on the working surface. |

Professional results, even if you're a beginner! |
|
CCS Pads feature two, additional, design innovations. First, they continue
to incorporate the latest, Constant Pressure™ technology.
Constant pressure may not be good for people but it's great for polishing pads where you want a uniform and constant pressure on the surface being polished. Professionals have learned through experience to keep their machines parallel to the surface being polished. Tilting the machine in any direction can result in an uneven and excessive pressure being transferred to the painted surface. |

|
Blue "Constant
Pressure" foam backing |
|
| This new Constant Pressure technology uses a layer of engineered, instant rebound foam between the pad and the backing plate to absorb off-axis movements while keeping the pressure of the pad on the surface constant. It allows even beginners to achieve professional-like results. | |
|
These advanced pads also feature a curved "mushroom cap" design. This curvature allows easy transitions over seams and inclines. |

These pads do not have a traditional "polish pocket" because the CCS Cells regulate polish release, reduce splatter and eliminate paint "squiggles." Whether you're a novice or a seasoned professional, these pads will yield consistently excellent results. |
|
These 8-1/2 inch, advanced pads feature a
patented, recessed area for the backing plate. This recess
lessens the possibility of the backing plate accidentally coming into contact
with the surface being polished.
This hook and loop pocket is the same diameter as our 7 inch Flexible Backing Plates which perfectly self-centers the pad to eliminate wobble. In addition, the VELCRO® brand backing is attached differently. It is not glued to the back of the pad but thermally bonded to the foam. This greatly reduces the likelihood of delaminating (the backing coming off). |

Hook and Loop Back-Up Plates - All of our 8-1/2 pads have a VELCRO® brand loop backing that require your machine be fitted with a 7 inch, "hooked" Backing Plate. This plate may or may not have come with your polisher. If you require a backing plate, this 7 Inch Flexible Backing Plates is our favorite. The 5/8-11 inserts fits professional circular polishers allowing quick and easy pad exchanges. |

Note: We also
offer a specially priced, 8-1/2 inch, CCS Technology, Pad
Kit. featuring the most often used
pads.
|
8.5 inch, White, CCS, Polishing Pad - The most often used pad. This pad has a mild cutting (cleaning) action and should be used to apply light compounds, polishes and one-step, cleaner/waxes. Use this Hi-Gloss White Polishing Pad with BLACKFIRE Gloss Enhancing Polish to maximize surface gloss. |
|
|
|
|
8.5 inch, Yellow, CCS, Compounding Pad - More aggressive cutting action than the white pad. Use this pad to compound older vehicles with a dull, chalky or neglected finish. Always start with a low speed setting especially if you’re using an abrasive polish. Use this pad with Menzerna Intensive Polish to remove minor swirls and paint defects that do not come out with the white pad. Safe for clear coat finishes. |
|
|
Note: After compounding, (Yellow Pad with Menzerna Intensive Polish) follow with Menzerna Final Polish using the White Polishing Pad . This will restore surface gloss and prepare the paint for waxing. |
|
|
8.5 inch Black, CCS, Glazing/Finessing Pad - This pad has
no cutting or cleaning action. It should be used to apply a glaze or a finessing
polish.
Use this Hi-Gloss Black Glazing Pad to apply 3M Imperial Hand Glaze . This pad can also be used to apply liquid waxes and sealants that can be applied with a circular polisher. |

Polishing Tip: Season foam pads before "flat" polishing. Seasoning refers to breaking in a pad. If you were to apply polish to a body panel, place an Advanced, Hi-Gloss Pad on the surface and turn the machine on, it would be very squirrelly or difficult to control. This is due to most of the pad being "dry". To season a pad, lightly mist it with pad lubricant or water, slightly raise the back of the machine so you are working with the top 1/3 of the pad. After polishing for a minute or two the pad will become more evenly saturated with product and actually become softer from heat build-up. At this point, you can safely transition from a tilted up to a flat polishing position. Every time you put a fresh, Advanced, Hi-Gloss Pad on your machine you should season it for a minute or two before "flat" polishing. Proper Cleaning - Wash foam pads in a bucket of soapy water (or use Snappy Clean Pad Cleaner), rinse thoroughly, hand squeeze out excess water and allow to air dry. Do not machine wash or machine dry. |
