Expert Notes

The Chemical Guys HEX-Logic Quantum Buffing Pad in Blue is a zero cut, light-duty pad built to spread a final glaze, sealant or wax coat over paintwork that has already been polished. It is designed to enhance clarity and reflection without cutting into the surface, and Chemical Guys pairs it with glazes such as Black Light, White Light, GlossWorkz or EZ Creme Glaze. The Hex-Logic surface pattern helps the pad conform to curved panels while spreading product evenly and using less of it than a flat pad would. This 6.5in pad suits dual action and rotary polishers with a matching backing plate, and sits at the very end of a detailing routine, after any cutting or polishing stages are finished.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Fully polished paintwork
  • Show car finishes
  • Glaze application
  • Sealant application
  • Wax application
  • Panels ready for a final finishing coat

Caution: This pad has zero cutting ability, so use it only for finishing coats once polishing and correction work are already complete.
