7" Rotary Black Foam Polishing Pad

Soft Foam Polishing Pad for High Gloss

The Buff & Shine 7-inch black foam polishing pad is a soft foam polishing pad made for the final finishing step, where a light polish, glaze, or finishing wax brings out a deep high-gloss shine. Black is the soft grade in the Buff & Shine foam line, so it applies minimal cut and refines the surface as a second or third step after your cutting and polishing passes. The domed face concentrates contact and follows panel curves, which helps you lay product down evenly across the body. It is a reliable finishing pad for professional detailers, dealership detail departments, and enthusiasts running a rotary. See the rest of our foam polishing pads to build out each stage of the job.

Because the black foam is the soft finishing grade, it works well on soft or sensitive clear coats where a firmer pad would risk adding haze. Mount it on a hook-and-loop backing plate sized for your machine, pair it with a finishing polish, and run it at a moderate speed for the last refinement pass before you wipe down and inspect.

Features:

✨ High-Gloss Finishing Foam: The soft black foam applies finishing polishes, glazes, and waxes with minimal cut, so you get a clear, high-gloss finish without hazing the paint.

🌀 Domed Foam Face: The convex face concentrates contact and follows panel curves, spreading product evenly through the final refinement pass.

🚗 Safe on Soft Clear Coats: As the soft grade in the Buff & Shine line, it suits soft or sensitive clears as a second or third step after correction.

🔄 Secure Hook-and-Loop Backing: The hook-and-loop face locks onto a matching backing plate and stays centered for stable, vibration-free rotary buffing.
