SPTA 7.5-inch Buffing & Polishing Pads Kit, 5-Piece Color-Coded Foam — Cut to Finish

This kit combines five color-coded foam pads engineered to remove sanding marks, oxidation and swirls, then deliver a gloss finish. Each pad pairs with compounds for stepwise correction: heavy-cut for deep defects, medium and high-cut for refining, and ultra-fine for final finishing. The pads feature a two-size face design (7.5 inch front, 7 inch back) for safer edge contact and better compatibility with most 180mm backing plates.

How do these pads tackle heavy scratches and sanding marks?

The T120 green heavy-cut pad is formulated to restore heavily sanded or oxidized panels when used with a cutting compound on a rotary or forced-action polisher. Its open-cell foam and aggressive profile help lift deep defects while shedding heat for safer correction.

• T120 Green: removes 1200–1500 grit sanding marks and heavy oxidation
• Designed for rotary or high-speed polishing
• Locks compound into the pad to reduce sling and waste

Which pads are best for swirl removal and mid-level correction?

Use the T80 yellow high-cut and T60 blue moderate-cut pads to address swirl marks, 1500–2000 grit marks, and medium oxidation. They refine the finish after heavy cutting and prepare the paint for finer polishing steps.

• T80 Yellow: intensive cutting to eliminate swirls and heavier marks
• T60 Blue: moderate cutting for mid-level scratches and oxidation
• Both work well on DA, RO and rotary polishers with appropriate compounds

What delivers a showroom gloss without adding micro-marring?

The T40 orange medium-cut pad and T10 red ultra-fine finishing pad provide light correction and final gloss. The orange pad evens out 2000-grit marks and fine scratches; the red pad refines the surface for swirl-free shine when paired with a finishing polish.

• T40 Orange: light cutting for fine scratches and paint leveling
• T10 Red: ultra-fine finishing for high gloss and minimal micro-marring
• Ideal sequence: heavy → medium → light → finish for best results

How durable and easy to maintain are these SPTA pads?

Manufactured from open-cell, washable foam, the pads are bendable, reusable and resist tearing under DA and rotary shear. The hook-and-loop backing makes changes fast; rinse with water or use a pad cleaning brush to extend service life.

• Washable and reusable—lasts multiple full-car sessions
• Dual-size face reduces edge abrasion and improves plate compatibility
• Good heat dissipation and compound retention to minimize sling

Who is this for: Detailers, body-shop technicians and car enthusiasts who want a complete foam pad progression for compounding, polishing and finishing. The kit suits owners of rotary, dual-action (DA/RO) and pneumatic polishers seeking a single, graded pad set that covers aggressive correction through final gloss while being easy to use, clean and reuse.
