It is designed to refine the paint, remove light swirls and holograms, and increase gloss and clarity to achieve a professional-quality finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather 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 polish residue and heat up during use. Having enough fresh pads available helps maintain a consistent finish and maximise gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Four Pads?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany detailers focus on compounds and polish selection but overlook the importance of pad condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you polish, residue builds up inside the foam and the pad gradually heats up. A hot, loaded finishing pad can reduce gloss and make it harder to achieve a consistent finish across the vehicle.\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 finishing performance and allows the polish to work as intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional detailers often use even more pads than this, but four pads is an excellent balance between performance, results and value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout The Autostolz Orange Finishing Pad\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Autostolz Orange Pad is a staple of the Autostolz polishing range and is our most commonly recommended finishing pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as the second step in a two-stage polishing process, it is ideal for refining paint after compounding, removing light swirls and holograms, and increasing gloss and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike softer specialist finishing pads, the Orange Pad uses a dense closed-cell foam construction that remains stable during polishing. This creates consistent pad pressure across the paint surface and allows defects to be refined efficiently while still producing an exceptional finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts versatility makes it suitable for virtually all paint and clearcoat systems, from soft Japanese paint through to harder European clearcoats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Designed as the finishing stage in a two-step polishing process\u003cbr\u003e• Dense closed-cell foam for stability and consistent performance\u003cbr\u003e• Removes light swirls, haze and holograms\u003cbr\u003e• Suitable for all paint and clearcoat systems\u003cbr\u003e• Excellent gloss and clarity enhancement\u003cbr\u003e• Ideal 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 Final Finish Polish (500ml)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd a bottle of Autostolz Final Finish Polish to create a complete finishing system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered in Germany for professional detailers, Final Finish Polish is designed to maximise gloss while removing light swirls, holograms and polishing marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be used as a standalone finishing polish for light paint correction or as the final step after compounding to further increase gloss and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEspecially effective on dark coloured vehicles, it produces an exceptional finish while remaining easy to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Removes light swirls and holograms up to 3,000 grit\u003cbr\u003e• Designed to maximise gloss and clarity\u003cbr\u003e• Excellent on all paint systems\u003cbr\u003e• Particularly effective on dark coloured vehicles\u003cbr\u003e• Low dusting formula\u003cbr\u003e• Long working time\u003cbr\u003e• Easy wipe-off\u003cbr\u003e• VOC free and body shop safe\u003cbr\u003e• No fillers, silicones, waxes or toxic solvents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen paired with the Autostolz Orange Pad, this combination delivers the ideal balance of finishing ability, gloss enhancement and efficiency, making it our preferred final polishing step for most vehicles.\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.
