Griot's Garage BOSS 5.5" Microfibre Cutting Pads Set of 2 — 9mm Plush Pile & 1/4" High-Rebound Foam

Built for detailers who need aggressive correction without sacrificing control, these 5.5" microfiber cutting pads combine a plush 9mm pile with a 1/4" high-rebound euro-foam interface. The result is a pad that maintains fast, stable rotation on orbital polishers, conforms to body lines, and resists matting during long polishing sessions. Pairing these pads with BOSS Creams delivers maximum cutting power for deep scratches, oxidation, and swirl marks.

How do these pads deliver strong correction on stubborn paint defects?

The dense 9mm microfiber surface provides multiple cutting fibers that abrade and lift heavy imperfections when used with an appropriate compound. Underneath, the euro-foam Innerflex layer adds rebound and responsiveness so the pad stays engaged with the paint without bogging down.

• 9mm plush microfiber face for aggressive but controlled cutting
• 1/4" high-rebound foam improves pad rotation and correction speed
• Designed specifically to work with BOSS Creams for optimal results

Will these pads follow body curves and tight panel shapes?

Yes — the integrated Innerflex foam interface increases flexibility and helps the pad conform to acute curves and recessed areas. That flexibility supports consistent contact across complex panels so you get even correction without overworking one spot.

• Innerflex foam adapts to edges and contours for uniform results
• Flexible construction reduces lift-off and inconsistent buffing
• 5.5" diameter balances surface coverage with access to tighter zones

How do I maintain pad performance and extend pad life?

Regular cleaning prevents fiber clogging and keeps cutting action consistent. These pads can be washed by hand or machine using a specialized Microfiber and Foam Pad Cleaner, then air-dried to preserve structure and longevity.

• Rinse debris and residue promptly after use
• Use recommended pad cleaner to remove oils and polish build-up
• Allow full air-dry before storage to prevent matting or odor

What polishing tools and compounds pair best with these pads?

They are optimized for orbital polishers and formulated to perform with Griot's BOSS Creams, but will also work with similar high-cut compounds. The pads’ rebound and texture make them suitable for heavy paint correction stages where speed and control matter.

• Ideal for dual-action/orbital polishers that favor pad rebound
• Best results when used with Griot's BOSS Cutting Creams
• Suitable for multi-stage correction workflows: cut, refine, finish

Who this is for: These 5.5" BOSS microfiber pads are intended for automotive enthusiasts, professional detailers, and anyone tackling moderate to severe paint defects who wants fast, predictable correction. If you need pads that hold up during extended sessions, conform to complex panels, and pair cleanly with cutting compounds, this two-pack is a practical addition to a serious detailing kit.
