A polishing pad is a tool used in various polishing and buffing applications to enhance the shine and finish of surfaces. Typically made from materials like foam, microfiber, or wool, these pads are attached to polishing machines or tools. They help remove scratches, swirls, and oxidation from surfaces such as paint, metal, or wood. Polishing pads come in different grades, ranging from coarse to fine, allowing users to choose the right pad for their specific needs. They are commonly used in automotive detailing, woodworking, and even in the care of household items. Proper maintenance and replacement of polishing pads are essential for achieving optimal results.
