Detailing Accessories
Professional detailing accessories: foam cutting, polishing and finishing pads for machine polishers, and scrub brushes for carpets and mats.
Detailing accessories by job
- Cutting and polishing pads — orange for cutting, green for polishing, red for finishing and applying wax, matched to the compound in use.
- Detailing brushes — a stiff scrub brush for carpets and floor mats.
- Microfiber cloths and towels — for drying, buffing compound residue and glass.
Pads and compounds work as a pair
A paint correction result depends on the combination of pad and compound as much as on either one. A firm cutting pad with a heavy compound removes deeper defects; a soft finishing pad with a fine polish refines the gloss. Clean pads often during the job — a pad loaded with spent compound and paint residue cuts unevenly and runs hot.
See the rubbing and cutting compounds, finishing polishes and the paint correction kit that bundles both, and our car polishing guide for technique.
How do I clean a polishing pad?
Brush or blow out the residue during the job, and wash pads in warm water with a mild cleaner afterwards. Let them air-dry face down; do not tumble-dry foam.
