Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: What's the maximum safe rotary speed for the hard foam pad before heat damage risk
A: Keep below 2000 RPM for sustained use; above this, the hard foam pad generates significant heat that can burn paint edges and damage the pad's structure. Use CutMax or Ultimate Cut with the hard pad at 1500–2000 RPM for maximum cutting efficiency. Maintain pad movement at all times; stopping on a panel at speed causes immediate burn marks.
Q: When is it needed?
A: Maximum rotary correction on heavily defected paint; hard foam + rotary provides the highest cutting force from foam pads.
Q: What is its key differentiator?
A: Hardest foam in the rotary pad range; provides maximum pad-side cutting support when paired with cutting compounds.
Q: What compounds pair with it?
A: CutMax, ExCut, and Ultimate Cut, where maximum rotary force and compound aggressiveness are both required.
Q: Should softer pad stages follow?
A: Yes, hard foam cutting leaves marks requiring medium pad then finishing compound to achieve hologram-free gloss.
