Orange Hex Foam Pad

Hex Foam Polishing Pad for Bigger Panels

The Buff & Shine Orange Hex foam polishing pad is a 6-inch medium-firmness pad built for the polishing stage, where you refine paint after cutting and pull out gloss. Orange is the polishing grade in the Buff & Shine Hex line, firm enough to handle heavy polishing and light correction yet controlled enough to finish smooth. The hexagonal face vents heat as the pad spins for cooler, safer operation, and the larger 6-inch diameter covers panels, trucks, and boats faster than a small pad. It is a versatile cut-and-polish pad for professional detailers, dealership detail departments, and enthusiasts on a rotary. Browse the full range of foam pads to set your cut and finish steps.

It uses a hook-and-loop back that mounts to a 6-inch rotary backing plate. Mount it on a 658Y hook-and-loop backing plate sized for a 6-inch pad, pair it with a polish, and run it after your cutting step to refine the finish. ONLY FITS 6" 658Y BACKING PLATES.
