7" Rotary Yellow Foam Cutting Pad

Yellow Dome Foam Cutting Pad for Hard Clears

The Buff & Shine 7-inch yellow foam cutting pad is a heavy-cut dome pad made for the first stage of paint correction, where you level deep scratches, oxidation, and other defects. Yellow is the aggressive grade in the Buff & Shine foam line, and the brand rates it as its best rotary foam for hard clear coats that fight back. A thick, coated open-cell foam structure holds firm under pressure to keep cutting power high, while the open cells shed heat through long compounding sets. The domed face concentrates that cut where you steer it, which makes it a strong first-step pad for professional detailers, dealership detail departments, and serious enthusiasts on a rotary.

It fits standard 7-inch rotary backing plates and changes out fast with a hook-and-loop backing. Mount it on a hook-and-loop backing plate, load it with a cutting compound, and run your first correction pass, then step down to a polishing and finishing pad to bring up the gloss.
