Sonax Red Polishing Pad – 143 mm, 160 mm & 165 mm.

The Sonax Red Polishing Pad is a hard, finely-pored pad designed for aggressive paint correction. It is ideal for polishing scratched, weathered, or heavily oxidized vehicle paintwork. Available in three sizes—5.75 inches (143 mm), 6.25 inches (160 mm), and 6.5 inches (165 mm)—this pad is perfect for both small touch-ups and larger surfaces, giving professional detailers and car enthusiasts the tools needed for effective compounding.

This pad is excellent for use with dual-action polishers. Its beveled edge allows for precise control during buffing, ensuring consistent results without creating additional imperfections. The center hole prevents heat buildup and makes it easier to center the pad on the machine, which improves safety and efficiency during polishing. With the Velcro fastening system, changing pads is quick and simple, helping maintain workflow and save time.

The Sonax Red Polishing Pad is best suited for the compounding step, tackling severe to moderate paint defects such as deep scratches, oxidation, or sanding marks. It is excellent to make even the most challenging paint correction tasks faster and more manageable while delivering a smooth, even finish.

For optimal performance, use only one polishing product per pad. Avoid tilting or applying excessive downward pressure. Proper handling can significantly extend the sponge’s lifespan. After polishing, rinse the pad carefully with warm water and allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid cleaning with high-pressure equipment. As a result, this can damage the pad’s structure and reduce durability.

Whether you are restoring an older vehicle, correcting deep paint imperfections, or preparing a car for a high-gloss finish, the Sonax Red Polishing Pad is an essential tool. Its hardness, precision design, and durability make it a must-have for professional-grade compounding.
