Full Description

The white HEX-Logic pad is made from a lower density foam with a very slight cut. Chemical Guys uses it for pre-wax cleaners and finishing polishes, where it refines the paint and leaves a high gloss.

At 4 inches it is a spot and detail pad for areas a larger pad cannot reach, such as bumpers, mirror caps and sills. The laser cut hexagon pattern gives about 25 percent more working surface than a flat pad, and it suits both rotary and dual-action machine polishers. It can be machine washed at 30 degrees.

Key Features

  • Lower density foam with a very slight cut
  • For pre-wax cleaners, fine polishes, glazes, sealants and waxes
  • 4 inch size for small and curved areas
  • Rotary and dual-action polishers
  • Machine washable at 30 degrees

Expert Notes

The Chemical Guys 4in HEX-Logic White Light Polishing Pad is a fine cut, medium-soft pad built for light defect removal and the final polishing stage, once heavier correction has already been done with an Orange or Yellow pad. Its lower density foam and laser-cut Acu-Pore hexagonal pattern spread product evenly, give around 25% more working surface area than a flat pad, and help the pad flex to follow curved panels. A Precision Port vent hole helps dissipate heat from the centre during use, and the pad is machine washable at 30 degrees for reuse. This 4in pad suits rotary and dual action polishers with a matching backing plate, and works well for refining buffer trails and haze before sealant or wax protection is applied.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted body panels after compounding
  • Fine polishes
  • Glazes
  • Sealants
  • Waxes
  • Buffer trails
  • All paint types

Caution: Use a heavier cutting pad first if the panel still has swirls or scratches, since this pad gives only a very slight cut.
