Heavy Cut Pads

Heavy Cut Pads

Heavy Cut Pads are designed to remove severe paint defects, heavy swirl marks, and deep scratches with maximum efficiency. Built for aggressive correction, these pads provide the cutting power needed to restore neglected or weathered paintwork. When paired with heavy cut compounds, they deliver fast, consistent, and professional-level results. Perfect for detailers and enthusiasts tackling the toughest correction jobs.

When to use?

• When the paint is heavily damaged with deep scratches, swirling, or severe oxidation
• As the first step in a multi-stage paint correction process to correct the most significant damage

How do I use a heavy cutting pad?

1. Prep the vehicle: Thoroughly wash and dry the vehicle
2. Prime the pad: Apply 3–4 pea-sized drops of a heavy-cut compound to the pad. Add a few extra drops the first time to help lubricate a new pad
3. Polish: Start the machine at a low speed to spread the product, then increase the speed and apply firm pressure, using a cross-hatch or overlapping pattern.
4. Refine: As the polish becomes transparent, decrease pressure and speed
5. Clean up: Remove the residue with a clean microfiber cloth. You must always follow a heavy-cut step with a polishing or finishing step to refine the surface and achieve a high-gloss finish
