Here the black Hex-Logic finishing pad comes in the small 4in size. It has no cut at all: its job is to spread wax, sealant or glaze thinly and evenly once the paint is corrected. The picture shows it from the back, a black foam pad with a white hook-and-loop face printed with the Chemical Guys and Hex-Logic logos. The larger one is the 5.5in size.

  • Zero cut finishing foam
  • Spreads wax, sealant and glaze evenly
  • Ultra-soft foam for final step protection
  • 4in size for smaller panels
  • V-cut channels draw in cooling air
  • Bevelled edge guards paint from the backing plate
  • Rounded profile follows curves and body lines
  • Breathable hook and loop backing

Expert Notes

The Chemical Guys Black Hex-Logic pad is a 4in zero cut finishing pad for applying waxes, sealants and glazes after the paint has been corrected. Its ultra-soft foam removes no paint, so it is the last pad used in a machine routine, laying down an even coat of protection without introducing swirls. The 4in face works well on mirrors, pillars and bumper sections, while the rounded profile, bevelled edge and V-cut channels help it follow body lines, keep the backing plate off the panel and draw in cooling air. Pair it with a wax or sealant, a hook and loop backing plate sized for a 4in pad, a pad cleaner and plush microfibre towels for buffing.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Freshly polished paintwork
  • Door mirror caps
  • Pillars and narrow panels
  • Bumpers and valances
  • Spoilers and lips
  • Curves and body lines
  • Motorcycle painted panels

Caution: This pad has zero cut and will not remove swirls or scratches. Use it only to apply wax, sealant or glaze after the paint has been corrected.

How To Use

Using it

  1. Make sure the paint is clean, dry and polished to the finish you want.
  2. Centre the pad on a hook and loop backing plate that suits a 4in pad.
  3. Apply a few small dots of wax, sealant or glaze to the pad face.
  4. Spread the product at low speed with light pressure in overlapping passes.
  5. Leave the product to cure as its maker directs, then buff with clean microfibre.

Cleaning and storage

  1. Brush out the pad between panels to stop product building up.
  2. Wash it in warm water with a dedicated pad cleaner after each session.
  3. Rinse well and squeeze out the water without wringing or twisting the foam.
  4. Dry it face down so water drains away from the hook and loop backing.
  5. Store it in a sealed bag, separate from cutting and polishing pads.

Top Tip: Keep separate Black pads for wax and for sealant so different products never mix in the foam.

  • Lays an even coat of protection
  • Adds no new swirls or marks
  • Covers contoured panels evenly
  • Deep, wet-look finish with little product
  • Reduces heat build-up during machine use

What does the bevelled edge do?

HQ Suggests Tips & Insights

  1. Only use this pad on paint that has already been corrected.
  2. Apply thin coats, as excess wax or sealant makes buffing harder.
  3. Keep machine speed low when spreading protection products.
  4. Use the 4in size for mirrors, pillars and bumper sections.
  5. Dedicate one pad to each wax or sealant you use.
  6. Clean the pad promptly before product dries in the foam.
  7. Store finishing pads away from compounds and cutting pads.
  8. Order online with UK-wide delivery from The Drivers HQ.
