Full Description

These are the wool cutting pads in ShineMate's 1.6 inch spot repair range, made for paint in poor condition. ShineMate lists them for deep scratches, overspray, 1200 and 1500 grit sanding marks and heavy oxidation, used with a heavy polishing compound.

They are replacement pads for ShineMate's 1.2 inch rotary backing plate. Each pad is 1.6 inches (40mm) across, so it overlaps the plate slightly for safe polishing. Use them on a mini or micro polisher fitted with a 1.2 inch backing plate, such as the ShineMate EP803 rotary kit on its 1.2 inch plate. Refine the cut area afterwards with a softer pad from the same range, such as the orange light polishing or red finishing pads. Ten pads in the pack.

How To Use

Cutting

  1. Fix it centrally to the backing plate or adapter the pack gives.
  2. Prime the wool with a little compound.
  3. Work at the speed the compound gives, keeping the pad flat.
  4. Brush out the wool between panels.

Afterwards

  1. Refine the paint with a finishing polish on a foam pad.
  2. Wash the pad after use and let it dry.
  3. Store it clean and dry.
  4. Replace it when the wool mats or sheds.

Top Tip: Brushing the wool between panels keeps the fibres open so the pad cuts evenly.

ShineMate Black Diamond pads

Black Diamond is ShineMate's range of diamond-patterned foam pads, covering every stage from compounding to finishing. The diamond face reduces polish splash and heat build-up, withstands heat and washing, and gives steady control, on both rotary and dual action polishers. Choose by colour:

  • Green, heavy cutting: the most aggressive pad in the range, for deep scratches, overspray, 1200/1500 sanding marks and heavy oxidation. Green.
  • Yellow, cutting: an intensive cutting pad for deep scratches, overspray, severe swirl marks, 1500 sanding marks and heavy oxidation. Yellow.
  • Orange, light cutting: removes minor scratches and swirl marks and leaves a level, smooth surface. Orange.
  • Blue, polishing: removes 1500 and 2000 grit sanding marks, overspray and other surface defects. Blue.
  • Red, finishing: the softest step; with a finishing polish it removes ultra-fine swirls, car wash scratches and hazing, and it is the pad for glazes. Red.
  • Grey, wax: for applying waxes and sealants by machine. Grey.

The pads come in 4in, 6in and 7in to fit your backing plate. Start with the least aggressive pad that removes the defects, use a separate pad for each polish, and clean pads between panels. For heavier cutting there is also the blue microfibre cutting pad.
