There’s a lot of chemistry and physics that go into the design of a quality foam pad. 3D’s quality foam buffing pads use the latest in foam chemistry to create pads that simply outperform the competition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoam Chemistry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDifferent chemicals can be added to a foam formula to make foam react differently under time, heat, and pressure and exposure to liquids or chemicals. Simple, non-descript foam pads cost less and that’s because they do less. Cheap pads also don’t last as long.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnique foam structure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRun your hand over the face of a clean, dry \u003cstrong\u003e3D 5.5” light purple spider-cut medium polishing pad\u003c\/strong\u003e and you will feel the mild but crisp texture of the foam. This pad starts out a tick on the firm side but as soon as you start to use it the foam texture softens just a little for the perfect balance of light cutting, polishing, and even finishing depending upon the product you’re using and the hardness or softness of the paint you’re polishing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePad design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe slotted spider-cuts across the face of our foam polishing pad flex when spinning against the surface, this increases their surface area, which increases their polishing ability for faster refining of the surface and finishing swirl-free and show car quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct trapping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe spider-cut structure flexes to open up when buffing allowing the polish powders or abrasives to migrate in-between the spider-cuts trapping them in the pad for extended work time and more efficient polishing and refining of the surface. As you’re buffing, the abrasives have greater contact against the surface for a more efficient polishing-effect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLonger lasting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe open-cell design also offers great tensile strength as compared to closed-cell foam pads and this means they are more tear-resistant and thus last longer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCooler buffing temperatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe slotted spider-cuts across the face of the pad flex as you buff allowing better air movement over and through the pad for improved heat transfer from the pad to the air. This helps keep surface temperatures lower and helps to prevent the face of the pad from bowling-in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExcellent polishing range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3D’s 5.5” light purple spider-cut medium polishing pads\u003c\/strong\u003e are versatile because they offer light cutting, medium polishing and even fine finishing simply by changing the product.
