Autostolz Asian One Step Polishing Kit

Designed specifically for softer paint systems, this kit includes four genuine German-made Autostolz Asian One Step Pads, with the option to add a matching 500ml bottle of Autostolz One Step Polish & Compound.

Rather than buying a large range of pads you may never use, this kit gives you more of the pad you actually need. Most polishing jobs require multiple pads as they become loaded with removed clearcoat and heat up during use. Having enough fresh pads available helps achieve better correction, a better finish and longer pad life.

Why Four Pads?

One of the most common polishing mistakes is trying to polish an entire vehicle with a single pad.

As you polish, the pad gradually becomes clogged with removed clearcoat and spent polish while also building heat. Eventually the pad becomes less effective, works slower and can produce a poorer finish.

As a rule of thumb, we recommend using approximately one pad per quarter of the vehicle, then swapping to a fresh cool pad. This helps maintain consistent correction and gloss while reducing heat buildup.

Professional polishers often use even more pads than this, but for most enthusiasts and weekend detailers, four pads is an excellent balance between performance, results and value.

About The Autostolz Asian One Step Pad

The Autostolz Asian Pad is designed for softer paint and clearcoat systems commonly found on many Japanese and Korean vehicles.

The softer foam helps produce a higher quality finish on delicate paint while still providing enough correction ability when paired with the right polish. It is also an excellent choice for hologram removal, refining paintwork, and applying products such as glazes, sealants and waxes.

The open-cell foam construction maximises airflow through the pad to help reduce heat buildup during polishing. The specialised crosshatched face design retains polish within the pad while increasing effective surface area as the foam opens during use. This helps improve performance while maintaining excellent finishing ability.

The channels also allow removed clearcoat and spent polish to move away from the paint surface, helping produce a cleaner finish and extending working time.

Looking After Your Pads

Polish residue can soak deep into the foam during use. If left inside the pad it can dry, create hard spots and reduce performance.

Clean pads as soon as possible after use using warm water and a dedicated pad cleaner. Use a stiff pad cleaning brush to work residue from the foam and rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear.

Allow pads to dry fully before storage. Stand them upright or place them polishing-face down so water can drain away. Avoid leaving pads sitting on their Velcro backing while wet.

Properly maintained pads will perform better, last longer and save money over time.
