Materials & Construction
This is an open-cell foam orbital polishing pad with a center-vented hole design; the vent channel releases heat from the foam during use, keeping surface temperatures lower and reducing the risk of paint damage while polishing.
Product Description
Why you'll want it
- Vent draws heat away from paint. The center hole works as a tunnel, so heat leaves the foam. The record says this lowers surface temperatures and makes paint damage less likely.
- Works with center-vented DA polishers. The record says it suits all random orbital DA polishers with a center-ventilated backing plate. It fits a 5 inch backing plate.
- Shaped for curves and tight spots. Its tapered edge works against pad rolling and gives good pad rotation. The record says it suits curved and contoured panels and allows precision work in tight areas.
- Get polishing done this fall. Fall is when many boats go into winter storage. Polishing before then means the finish is ready when spring comes.
What it is
Made by Lake Country, this orange foam pad is an SDO model, meaning Standard Duty Orbital. It has one layer and uses the same foam as the HDO line. It runs on random orbital DA polishers.
How to use it
- Fit the pad onto a random orbital DA polisher that has a center-ventilated backing plate.
- Set the center hole over the plate's ventilation channel, so heat can leave the foam while you work.
- Use the orange pad with a medium cut compound or polish for fine scratches and light swirls.
What else the job needs
Good to have on hand: Lake Country's wool cutting pads, which the record says are designed to pair with this SDO pad. Use it with a random orbital DA polisher that has a center-ventilated backing plate.
