Lake Country SDO Blue Heavy Polishing Pad 5.5" x 7/8"

Why you'll want it

• Runs cooler on your paint. The center hole works as a channel that carries heat out of the foam. A cooler pad lowers the chance of heat damage to the paint.
• Built for heavy defects. The blue foam is for heavy defects, harder paint and deep etching. Pair it with medium to heavy cutting compounds.
• Tapered edge reaches tight spots. The tapered edge helps keep the pad from rolling. It suits curves and contoured panels, and it helps with work in tight areas.
• Fix defects before haul-out. Heavy defects and deep etching are what this blue pad is for. Working on them this fall, before haul-out and winter storage, gets the boat ready for spring.
