7" Rotary Yellow Waffle Foam Cutting Pad

Waffle Foam Cutting Pad for Heavy Correction

The Buff & Shine 7-inch yellow waffle foam cutting pad is a heavy-cut pad built for the first stage of paint correction, where you remove deep scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation. Yellow is the aggressive grade in the Buff & Shine foam line, so it carries the most cutting power and is the brand's pick for hard clear coats that resist correction. The open-cell waffle face pulls air through the foam to dissipate heat during heavy compounding, which keeps the pad and panel cooler over long sets and extends pad life. It is a first-step cutting pad for professional detailers, dealership detail departments, and serious enthusiasts on a rotary. Browse the full range of waffle pads to build out your cut and finish stages.

It fits standard 7-inch rotary backing plates and attaches with a hook-and-loop face for fast, secure pad changes. Mount it on a hook-and-loop backing plate, pair it with a cutting compound, and make your first correction pass, then follow with a polishing and finishing pad to refine the gloss.
