6.5" Orange Light Cutting Pad

This firm, high density foam is ideal for scratch and defect removal. The orange foam offers the correction of a typical compounding pad whilst at the same time allowing the polishing ability of light cut foam pad. When used with heavier compounds it will remove moderate swirls and scratches with little or no haze.

It’s an all around pad that will work on most light to moderate imperfections.

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.
