POLISHING & GLOSSING PAD.
The HEX-LOGIC White Medium Light Polishing Pad is made from a lower density foam to give a fine polishing action with a very slight cut. The softness of the foam makes it ideal for the application of light polishes, waxes and sealants and is guaranteed to leave a brilliant gloss finish.

About HEX-LOGIC pads:

HEX-LOGIC pads are constructed using durable, Acu-Pore technology and feature a laser-cut hexagonal pattern. The depth of cut is computer-regulated, dictating how aggressive the finished pad will be. HEX-LOGIC pads are colour coded in reference to the depth of pattern on the pad surface. The unique compression/load/deflection ratio allows the pad to flex easily to follow the contours of a vehicle for more uniform results. The hexagonal pattern allows compounds to travel along the grooves for even distribution of the product as well as air flow, helping to prevent spot-heating issues which may over-cut paint, and allowing for longer working times.

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.

The Brand

Chemical Guys

Chemical Guys is a car care brand with its mailing address in Torrance, California, and it describes itself as more than a brand: "a lifestyle with a worldwide following". Its story says the company began by wiping the slate clean and starting fresh, and over the years grew into a huge library of detailing knowledge as well as a product range. That range runs from waxes to hybrid coatings, nano-polishes and ceramic sealants, alongside buffing pads, wash and interior care, air fresheners and odour eliminators.

The Drivers HQ stocks a Chemical Guys range led by machine polishing pads. There are Hex-Logic and Hex-Logic Quantum pads in medium cut, heavy cut and finishing grades, in 4 inch, 5.5 inch and 6.5 inch sizes, from the orange Hex-Logic Quantum Cutting Pad to the black Quantum Finishing Pad. Alongside the pads we carry odour and smoke eliminators such as the Stay Fresh Baby Powder Scented Air Freshener, hanging air fresheners, car shampoos, car waxes, wash mitts and pads, and After Wash.

Chemical Guys suits anyone moving from hand polishing to machine polishing, as well as detailers who already use a machine and want pads matched to each stage. The brand designs its Quantum pads for dual action and high-speed rotary polishers, attached by hook and loop. A typical correction runs from a cutting pad with a compound, through a polishing pad with a finer polish, to a finishing pad for a glaze, wax or sealant. Shampoos and wash mitts then cover the regular maintenance wash, with waxes to top up protection between corrections.

Buy Chemical Guys from The Drivers HQ with UK-wide delivery by tracked Royal Mail, or call in at our walk-in store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, where Click & Collect is free. Whether you are replacing a worn polishing pad, building a set of pads for a full correction or adding a new scent to your car, you can combine Chemical Guys products with the rest of your detailing and car care essentials in a single order.

Its story describes the team as passion-filled car enthusiasts who work every day to make the things they love shine their brightest.

Teaching is a large part of that approach.

Hex-Logic Pads and Odour Control

Chemical Guys says its Hex-Logic pads use "laser-cut hexagons to evenly spread product across flat or angled surfaces", with honeycomb-like grooves that hold product in the pad for smoother application and reduce friction during use. On the Quantum pads, a Precision Port vent hole in the centre disperses more heat, which the brand says means less wear and tear on both pad and machine. The Drivers HQ stocks both Hex-Logic and Hex-Logic Quantum pads across cutting, polishing and finishing grades.

Each colour is matched to a job. The brand describes the orange Quantum pad as a medium cutting pad that removes light to moderate defects such as swirls, scratches, oxidation and water spots, and the black Quantum Finishing Pad as a no-cut pad for spreading final sealants and wax coatings evenly on freshly polished paint. Our range includes 4 inch, 5.5 inch and 6.5 inch pads to suit different machines and backing plates.

For the interior, Chemical Guys says the formula in its odour eliminating sprays uses active enzymes that neutralise the germs and bacteria causing odours, then leaves behind only the fresh scent of the product. We stock the Stay Fresh Baby Powder Scented Air Freshener among a wider selection of odour and smoke eliminators, plus hanging air fresheners, so you can tackle stubborn smells such as smoke and keep the cabin smelling fresh.
