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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Four Pads?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most common polishing mistakes is trying to polish an entire vehicle with a single pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout The Autostolz Asian One Step Pad\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Autostolz Asian Pad is designed for softer paint and clearcoat systems commonly found on many Japanese and Korean vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe channels also allow removed clearcoat and spent polish to move away from the paint surface, helping produce a cleaner finish and extending working time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Designed for softer paint and clearcoat systems\u003cbr\u003e• Excellent finishing ability and gloss enhancement\u003cbr\u003e• Open-cell construction for improved cooling\u003cbr\u003e• Crosshatched face design for longer working time and improved performance\u003cbr\u003e• Ideal for one-step polishing, finishing and hologram removal\u003cbr\u003e• Suitable for applying glazes, sealants and waxes\u003cbr\u003e• 90° stepped edge helps reduce pad roll\u003cbr\u003e• Made in Germany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePad Size: 145mm x 25mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable For: 125mm (5\") backing plates\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOptional: Autostolz One Step Polish \u0026amp; Compound (500ml)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd a bottle of Autostolz One Step Polish \u0026amp; Compound to create a complete one-step polishing solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured in Germany, this advanced polish uses diamond-hard abrasive technology to remove defects quickly while producing impressive gloss and clarity in a single step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike traditional compound and polish combinations, Autostolz One Step is designed to cut and finish at the same time, reducing polishing time without sacrificing results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Removes sanding marks up to 2,000 grit\u003cbr\u003e• High cut with excellent finishing ability\u003cbr\u003e• Fast working formula for increased efficiency\u003cbr\u003e• No fillers, silicones, waxes or toxic solvents\u003cbr\u003e• Body shop safe\u003cbr\u003e• Suitable for hard, medium and soft paint systems\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen paired with the Autostolz Asian Pad, this combination is our preferred one-step solution for softer paint systems where achieving maximum gloss and clarity is important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLooking After Your Pads\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolish residue can soak deep into the foam during use. If left inside the pad it can dry, create hard spots and reduce performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProperly maintained pads will perform better, last longer and save money over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Autostolz","offers":[{"title":"Pads + 500ml One Step Polish \u0026 Compound","offer_id":48921706299640,"sku":"ZK4ASIANBOTTLE","price":159.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pads Only","offer_id":48921706135800,"sku":"ZK4ASIAN","price":109.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2946\/8408\/files\/autostolz-asian-polishing-kit-4-german-made-1-step-polishing-pads-autostolz-polishing-pads-zk4asianbottle-lovecars-3741561.jpg?v=1781439188","url":"https:\/\/lovecars.co.nz\/products\/autostolz-asian-polishing-pad-pack-4-pads","provider":"Lovecars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
