Each pad features an adhesive backing for fast, secure attachment to RO\/DA\/GA and other 6-inch polishers, and the waffle surface helps dissipate heat and reduce swirl marks while improving product distribution. All pads are washable and reusable, saving time and money compared with single-use options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do the different colored foam pads perform on paint defects?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach foam color represents a different firmness and cutting ability so you can match the pad to the job: harder pads cut more aggressively while softer pads finish and spread waxes.
