Chemical Guys BUFX_102_HEX5 Hex-Logic Medium-Heavy Cutting Pad, Orange, 5.5" Pad Made for 5" Backing Plates, 1 Pad Included

The Chemical Guys Medium-Heavy Cutting Pad has proven to be a valuable addition to my detailing arsenal. Its design strikes an excellent balance, providing the cutting power needed for moderate to heavy defects without compromising on versatility. The pad's construction is commendable, exhibiting durability during extended use. The engineered foam structure effectively removes imperfections, swirls, and scratches with precision. I appreciate the consistent results it achieves, making paint correction tasks more efficient and achieving a smoother finish. What stands out is its compatibility with a variety of polishes and compounds, offering flexibility in my detailing processes. The hook and loop backing securely attaches to the polishing machine, ensuring stability during operation. For anyone engaged in automotive detailing, the Chemical Guys Medium-Heavy Cutting Pad is a reliable choice. It's a well-crafted tool that enhances the efficiency of paint correction tasks, making it easier to achieve professional-level results.

These are great pads. I just did a full paint correction on a 13 year old car and these worked so well. Used in conjunction with Chemical guys C4 and P4 with their pad lube and the car paint is like glass. The pads help up great and they are cleaned and on deck for the next detail. Highly recommend these.

I have used this polishing pad for several hours in poor conditions such as direct sunlight with outstanding results. This polishing pad cuts well on both an orbital polisher and a rotary polisher used by most professionals. This pad also finishes down very well with a medium compound such as a 1500 grit All-In-1 Polish . I have been using the Pro Polish 3n with a rotary polisher to remove 2000 grit sand scratches, I had to use a heavier compound with a PORTER-CABLE 7424XP Polisher because the machine is less aggressive. For best results, wash your polishing pads often to remove spent polish and debris from the polishing process. Use Polishing Pad Conditioner or an equivalent of some type, plain water may work but does not do a good job compared to a detail spray. I have been using Adam's Detail Spray as a polishing pad conditioner with good results. Note: You may also consider using a Gray Pad for finish polishing with a product such as P40 final polish to get a bright shine from your paint. Follow up with a sealant wax to protect your freshly polished paint, the Carnauba Wax + X-Seal Seal is awesome. I don't want you to think I am promoting products, but most these products are available from the same vendor and are often used together for optimum results.

So far so good. I thought two came with the order, but I realize it’s jusy showing the back side in the photo and that’s what I get for ordering it at 3:30 am. My bad. I’ve gotten through about 60% of my car. The pad isn’t as stiff as it was and there’s a little bit of foam missing which is probably from my cars weird pointy door jam spot. I know having more than one pad is ideal, but I did the worst parts of the car first and the rest is basically just a sweep to revive the paint...since my car has been kept pretty decent for the last 3 years, there weren’t that many swirls to remove. As for scratches ... The combination I chose removed about 80% of the light scratches. I can tell the pad is starting to break down though by looking at it sideways it seems to be losing its density, which I was hoping it would last for more than one car, but it is what it is. First time using a DA (myself) on my car and it’s going smoothly with this pad and after testing it, I got it down and I’m not so afraid as I once was thinking I would rip the paint off the car... especially with black paint. This pad seems to be forgiving and on a safer side just in case, so, no complaints for deciding to try this after my research. I’m happy it hasn’t exploded or anything like others have shown and I believe it will make it to finish off the roof. After the prep process, I used a harbor frieght DA, Meguiars 5” backing plate, chemical guys swirl and scratch remover and 5.5” orange cutting pad. Speed setting 5. So far, chemical guys brand is working well for my learning process and I feel it was a safe choice to experiment with.

I've used the Hex-Logic Orange Pad several times now with a dual-action polisher, and the results are consistently impressive. It provides just the right level of cutting power to remove moderate swirls, scratches, and oxidation without being overly aggressive on the paint. The build quality is solid, and the hex pattern helps distribute the polish evenly while reducing heat. Works perfectly with a 5" backing plate and is easy to clean afterward. Great value for anyone doing paint correction at home or professionally. Highly recommended!

Very good very easy made paint vibrant good way to remove scratch.

Work perfectly

These are good quality and very durable. They last a long time and with the proper compound or polish, give great results with a good quality rotary polisher.

Good

I used it on a Truepower DA with Meguiars Ultimate compound and astonishingly, it gave extremely satisfying result on just a test spot. My car had never been detailed before and had major swirls just because it was never washed correctly. It did most of the major work by cutting through the annoying swirls and scratches and restored it by 90%. By the end, I couldn't make out if the car was in used condition. The pad just needs to be taken care of as it heats up and gets dirty easily. Wash it dish washer soap, dry it and it becomes brand new again. Highly recommended for detailing enthusiasts.

Este pad funciono super bien para desaparecer los "swirl marks" de mi camioneta, use un compuesto de chemical guys para lograr el resultado. Usando el mismo compuesto, este pad mejoro 50% a 60% el resultado en comparación con usar un pad mas barato de los que típicamente vienen en kits. Altamente recomendable, de hecho existe una linea de pads hex logic que vienen con la marca de chemical guys, si chemical guys les pone su marca, para mi esto representa una garantía que hex logic es una marca de alta calidad y lo comprobé con el resultado.

Schönes Pad habe es schon paar mal benutz und gibt einen schönen Glanz! Versand ging zügig und es waren keine Knicke im Produkt.

This worked with scratch remover good
