SPTA Polishing Pad Kit 5pc 6.5" Face (Fits 6" Backing) — Colour‑Coded Heavy‑to‑Finish Foam, Washable

This kit groups five color-coded foam pads—T120 heavy-cut, T80 high-cut, T60 moderate-cut, T40 medium-cut, and T10 ultra-fine—so you can progress from aggressive defect removal through final swirl-free gloss without switching brands or fighting fitment issues. Each pad features a 6.5" front face and a 6" back design so the pad edge clears the backing plate, reducing accidental contact with trim, improving heat dissipation, and helping the compound stay locked into the foam during high-speed polishing.

How do these pads remove sanding marks and scratches?

Each pad in the set is formulated for a specific level of cut so you can match pad aggressiveness to the defect. Start with the green T120 for deep sanding marks and heavy oxidation, then step down through T80 and T60 to refine the surface, finishing with the red T10 to erase fine swirls and restore gloss.

• T120 green: heavy cut for 1200/1500 grit sanding marks and heavy oxidation.
• T80 yellow: high cut for 1500/2000 grit marks and pronounced swirl removal.
• T60 blue: moderate cut for medium oxidation and refinement.
• T40 orange: light cutting for 2000 grit and fine scratch removal.
• T10 red: ultra-fine finishing for swirl-free gloss and wash scratches.

Will these pads work with my polisher and compounds?

Yes—the pads are compatible with rotary, dual-action (DA), random orbital (RO) polishers and most pneumatic tools. They accept common heavy, medium, and finishing compounds and the hook-and-loop backing makes pad changes quick and secure.

• Front face diameter: 6.5" (165mm); back side fits 6" (150mm) backing plates.
• Open-cell foam construction improves airflow and heat dissipation.
• Works well with SPTA heavy/medium/finish compounds and most aftermarket polishes.
• Hook-and-loop attachment for fast swapping during multi-stage detailing.

How durable and maintainable are these polishing pads?

The foam is designed to be washable, flexible, and reusable, with construction that resists tearing under the shear forces of high-speed polishers. Proper cleaning and drying after each use extends pad life and preserves cutting and finishing performance.

• Washable open-cell foam — rinse with water and air-dry naturally.
• Durable bonding prevents pad separation even with rotary polishers.
• Expected to handle several cars per pad depending on compound and technique.
• Remains pliable to conform to curved panels for consistent contact.

What design features reduce surface damage and improve results?

The slightly larger face diameter combined with a slightly smaller back helps shield paint edges and trim from accidental scuffing while the foam profile retains compound and disperses heat. This balance reduces abrasion on both the paint and backing plate compared with aggressively textured pad shapes.

• 6.5" face with 6" backing compatibility minimizes edge scoring.
• Open-cell structure locks polishing compound to reduce sling.
• Smooth foam surface favors even gloss and eliminates patchy finishes.
• Lightweight, bendable pads conform to panel contours for uniform results.

Who is this kit for: detailers, hobbyists, and professional technicians who perform multi-stage paint correction and finishing. If you need a single-brand progression of pads from heavy compounding to final polishing that fits common 6" backing plates and works with rotary and dual-action tools, this SPTA set is built to streamline the process and reduce pad swapping while protecting paint and trim.
