## Description

The Orange Self-Centered Hex-Logic Medium/Heavy Cut Scratch and Swirl Remover is a firm, high density foam pad that is ideal for scratch and defect removal. This pad offers the correction of a typical compounding pad while at the same time allowing the polishing ability of a light cut foam pad. When used with heavier compounds it will remove moderate swirls and scratches with little or no haze. It is an all around pad that will work on most light to moderate imperfections. This pad features PUR+ (Poly-Urethane-Reactive Bonding). This pad has the most durable and resistant backing plate, it is soft and gentle to paint. The PUR+ backing plates can be washed hundreds of times guaranteeing a perfect grip with every use that is PUR+ technology. This pad also features Hexagon technology, also known as Hex-Logic. Hex-Logic pads are designed to hold product and distribute it evenly over the surface of the pad delivering a superior even finish that is hard to achieve with any other pad. The unique construction of the pads makes them extremely easy to maneuver while distributing the product evenly on the surface. The Hex-Logic pads keep the product in the groves while you start and as the pad is spun and rubbed against the surface, the polish will travel through the hex-groves into the pad, evenly delivering a superior accurate finish. The surface is constantly lubricated which reduces friction and marring. The unique hex laser cut surface of the pad enables Hex-Logic pads to conform to the shape of the surface delivering maximum surface contact. The Hexagon construction forms perfectly to a vehicle's many curves while the unique pad construction reduces unnecessary heat. The self-centered pads are uniquely sized to 5.5 inches making them perfect for big or small jobs.

Review: Great pads! - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which pad do you guys prefer?  What do you recommend (2011 with swirls from washing/drying and a new 2015 that I will polish and wax upon arrival)?**
A: He the same problems with a black car. Real heavy swirl marks. Used VSS from Chemical Guys with a orange pad sealed it with Jet seal and a black pad came back over with a microfiber applicator and BlackLight glaze.

**Q: is this a velcro/hook and loop pad. is this the pad i would buy to remove light swirl marks on a new clear coat finish? thank you**
A: The orange pad is for swirl removal generally with something like m 105. The white pad is for polishing to bring out the shine with something like m 205 but it does have a light cut for fine swirl marks.

**Q: Do these pads stick to a orbital sander?**
A: They have a Velcro backing. The pads are the "furry/loop" part. You need the backing plate (most are yellow) that attaches to the orbital sander.

**Q: how do you clean them**
A: This all depends on if you just want to clean them, or clean and rejuvenate them. If you just want to clean them and aren't worried about the foam pads tearing or wearing out then a good (mild) dish soap like Dawn will clean them. However a good Polishing and Buffing Pad Conditioner will do so much more. By using a Polishing and Buffing Pad Conditioner you will reduce friction so the pad will be less susceptible to tearing. Lubricated pads cut and polish with less wear and tear on the pad. The light conditioning lubricants inside add extra surface protection by reducing dry friction while polishing. A good Polishing and Buffing Pad Conditioner works with lubricants in the products you are using, providing extra needed lubrication to protect against micro-marring and the possibility of burning paint through friction. I use the Chemical Guys BUF_301_16 Polishing and Buffing Pad Conditioner ( https://www.amazon.com/Chemical-Guys-BUF_301_16-Polishing-Conditioner/dp/B0040MGUKI/ref=pd_cp_263_3?pd_rd_w=9EAYa&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=9AY1HK00EBJ7VGF63EXQ&pd_rd_r=e1e9d9e0-2ea5-4850-a9f7-a88ed6374fad&pd_rd_wg=Z4aLG&pd_rd_i=B0040MGUKI&psc=1&refRID=9AY1HK00EBJ7VGF63EXQ ) and it works great. Cost about the same as the Dawn soap alone does but works so much better and the pads last longer with it too. 

Cleans microfiber cloths and wool pads as well (do not use regular soaps on microfiber cloths because they will get gummed up). Once the pads have been cleaned shake them a few times to purge any water left inside the pad, and then let them dry in the sun for a few hours (velcro side facing down). Once dry you can then put them back into the plastic bag they came in, but do NOT put them in the bag wet or mold will form and ruin the pads.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pads!
*by K***D on February 5, 2025*

Highly recommend these.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Polishing Pads are Amazing
*by P***R on July 12, 2013*

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.
