Hi-Tech Industries Hi-Buff Red Heavy Cut Foam Pad (HB-1)

The Hi-Tech Industries Hi-Buff Red Heavy Cut Foam Pad (HB-1) is a professional-grade foam pad meticulously engineered for aggressive paint correction. This pad is specifically designed to address and remove the most stubborn paint defects, including heavy oxidation, deep scratches, and severe acid rain damage. Its high-density foam composition and unique design allow for efficient material removal, making it an essential tool for restoring heavily flawed vehicle surfaces to a much smoother and more refined state. Ideal for use with cutting compounds, the HB-1 pad helps detailers achieve significant improvements on neglected or damaged paint, setting the foundation for subsequent polishing steps to maximize gloss.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Aggressive Cutting Ability: Specifically designed for heavy cutting and compounding to effectively remove severe paint defects such as heavy oxidation, pitted paint, wet sand scratches, and severe acid rain damage.
• High-Density Foam Construction: Made from premium, high-density foam that ensures minimal product absorption. This allows the cutting compound to work on the surface more effectively, reducing product waste and enhancing workability.
• Reduced Risk of Paint Damage: Features a deep-dish bowl design and rounded edge that significantly lowers the risk of burning painted surfaces, even during high-speed buffing operations.
• Enhanced Control and Durability: The pad's defined, rigid construction provides increased durability and better control. It also ensures easy self-centering on the backing plate for consistent performance.
• Versatile Compatibility: Fully compatible with most rotary and dual-action polishers, making it a flexible addition to any professional detailing setup.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Type: Heavy Cut Foam Pad
• Color: Red
• Diameter: 9 inches

HOW TO USE:

• Prepare the Surface: Ensure the vehicle's paint surface is thoroughly clean, dry, and free from any loose dirt or debris. This prevents scratching during the polishing process.
• Attach Pad: Securely attach the Hi-Buff Red Heavy Cut Foam Pad (HB-1) to your polisher's backing plate, ensuring it is centered for balanced rotation.
• Apply Compound: Apply a small, pea-sized amount of your chosen heavy-cut compound directly onto the foam pad. Distribute it evenly before making contact with the paint.
• Initial Spreading: Place the pad flat on the paint surface and, with the polisher off, spread the compound over a small working area (e.g., 2x2 feet).
• Begin Polishing: Turn on the polisher at a low speed to spread the compound further, then gradually increase the speed to your desired working RPM.
• Work the Area: Use consistent, overlapping passes with moderate pressure over the working area. Work the compound until it becomes clear or breaks down as per the product's instructions.
• Wipe and Inspect: Turn off the polisher, lift the pad, and use a clean, soft microfiber towel to wipe away any compound residue. Inspect the treated area for defect removal.
• Clean Pad: Regularly clean the pad during your detailing session to remove accumulated compound and paint residue. This maintains the pad's cutting efficiency and extends its lifespan.
