Expert Notes

The Chemical Guys Hex-Logic Quantum Heavy Polishing Pad in green is a 6.5in foam pad for one-step machine polishing. It cuts like a cutting pad to remove light to moderate swirls, scratches and oxidation, then finishes like a polishing pad, and Chemical Guys recommends it for softer or newer paint finishes. Pair it with a one-step polish, such as an all in one polish and sealant, plus a pad conditioner and a pad brush. Chemical Guys builds Quantum pads for dual action and rotary polishers, and the Race Face tapered profile and Precision Port vent help with stability and heat. It suits enthusiasts who want to cut and polish in a single pass. One pad is included.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted car panels
  • Softer paint finishes
  • Newer paintwork
  • Lightly swirled paint
  • Oxidised paintwork
  • Contoured body panels
  • Bonnets, roofs and doors

Caution: Machine polishing with an abrasive polish removes a little paint. Test a small section first and avoid edges, trim, badges and panel gaps.

How To Use

Using it

  1. Centre the pad on a hook-and-loop backing plate before switching on.
  2. Apply five small dots of one-step polish to prime the pad face.
  3. Mist a little pad conditioner onto the face, as Chemical Guys advises.
  4. Spread the polish at a low speed, then raise the speed to work it in.
  5. Work one small section at a time with slow, overlapping passes.
  6. Wipe away residue with a clean microfibre towel and check the gloss.

Cleaning and storage

  1. Brush out spent polish between sections to keep the face working evenly.
  2. Hand wash the pad in warm water with a dedicated pad cleaner after use.
  3. Press water out gently rather than wringing or twisting the foam.
  4. Leave it to dry face down on a clean surface.
  5. Store it in a clean, dust-free bag once fully dry.

Top Tip: On softer paint, try this pad with a one-step polish before reaching for a cutting pad.

  • Clears light to moderate paint defects
