6.5" Green Heavy Polishing Pad - 

This pad is is used by Mecedes Benz at OEM level and is designed to be used with a random orbital polisher (like the Porter Cable) It produces less spot heating and has a unique compression/load/deflection ratio which means it conforms quickly to contours. It is a high strength foam with 60 pores per sq. inch yet is softer and more forgiving than our regular foams which have 80 pores per sq. inch.

This pad is tough enough to remove swirls and scuffs whilst at the same time producing a high gloss swirl free finish. THis foam is also ideal for applying one-step cleaner waxes. It is a balance of polishing and finishing that is perfect for all-in-one product application.

Why CCS Technology™?

CCS (Collapsed Cell Structure) pads were developed after more than two years of development with automakers and polishing companies (specifically Menzerna of Germany).  The result of this development was the patanted Collapsed Cell Structure technology. The basis of this technology is a pattern of strategically placed pockets on the surface of the pad. In these areas the cells of the pad have been closed. As a result polish does not soak into the pad like conventional pads, meaning the polish is able to work for longer.

This therefore helps solve the problem of premature "drying". Conventional foam pads absorb water-based formulas, instantly. This reduces polish and pad performance because most of the polish is trapped below the working surface of the pad. CCS technology™ solves this problem with partially closed foam cells, which slow the absorption of liquid, keeping it on the working surface.

This not only extends the workability of water and solvent-based polishes, levelers and compounds, it reduces product usage, saves time and makes the polishing process a lot easier.

The pockets also reduce skipping due to less surface tension and heat build up as a smaller contact area is given to the surface of the paint.

OEM tests confirm CCS pads out-perform convoluted pad designs.
