Full Description

The ShineMate Red Foam Light Finishing Pads have a very light cleaning action for removal of ultra-fine swirl marks, car wash scratches, and hazing.

They leave a swirl-free gloss finish when used in conjunction with finishing polishes.

These pads are also perfect for the application of fine waxes, sealants, and glazes

These are replacement pads for the ShineMate 1.2 inch Rotary Backing Plate. The actual pad size is 1.6 inch to allow a slight overlap for the 1.2 inch Backing Plate to ensure safe polishing. These will also fit onto other mini or micro polishers.
