These Chemical Guys buffing pads use the Hex-Logic pad color system to make choosing the right pad for each correction scenario straightforward. Gray sits between the orange pad and the white polishing pad, making it the right choice for light defect removal on car paint. These 6 inch polishing pads are the car detailing pads you reach for when the paint has fine swirls, minor water spot etching, or early oxidation that needs addressing without full correction work.The Hex-Logic geometric cell pattern separates this detailing pad line from standard flat foam options. The structured hex cells increase the working surface area in contact with car paint, distribute compound more evenly across the face during each polishing pass, and prevent product from packing into compressed foam cells under machine heat. The result is light-to-medium correction across the full panel.Sized at 6.5 inches for 6 inch backing plates, these car polishing pads are compatible with dual-action and rotary machines and work effectively with V36 Optical Grade Cutting Polish or V38 Final Polish for light correction and finishing polish sequences. Wash after each auto care session and air dry completely.
