7" Rotary Green Foam Cutting Pad

Light Cutting Pad for First-Step Correction

The Buff & Shine 7-inch green foam light cutting pad is a light cutting pad for removing scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation as a first or second correction step. Green is the lighter cutting grade in the Buff & Shine standard foam line, so it clears moderate defects while leaving a cleaner surface than an aggressive pad. The high-density foam holds its shape under pressure to keep the cut consistent, and the dense construction helps reduce micro-marring while limiting heat and friction on the paint. It is a flexible correction 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 fits a standard 7-inch rotary backing plate with a hook-and-loop face. Mount it on a hook-and-loop backing plate, pair it with a light-cut compound or polish, and follow with a finishing pad to bring up the gloss.
