Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: What compound works best paired with the hard foam DA pad for moderate defect
A: ExCut 05-05 or Cut + Finish 05-05 on the hard foam DA pad at speed 4–5 covers most moderate correction work including P1500–P2000 sanding marks and heavy swirl removal. For more aggressive work use the hybrid wool pad; for finishing after correction switch to a medium or soft foam pad with EX 04-06 or Perfect Finish.
Q: When is hard foam needed?
A: Hard paint systems (German and Japanese OEM) require harder foam to prevent the pad compressing and losing cut.
Q: What is its key differentiator?
A: Hard foam density for cut efficiency on hard paint; more cut support from pad hardness, not just abrasive chemistry.
Q: What compounds pair with it?
A: Medium-cut to high-cut. Cut + Finish, ExCut, or CutMax on a DA polisher.
Q: What is the difference between DA and Rotary pads?
A: DA pads (143mm) are for orbital motion; Rotary pads (160mm) are for rotational force. Wrong pad type reduces results.
