Lake Country SDO Blue Heavy Polishing Pad 6.5" x 7/8"

Why you'll want it

• Made for heavy correction work. Blue is the heavy polishing color in this line. It is used for heavy defects, harder paint and deep etching, with medium to heavy cutting compounds.
• Center hole helps keep heat down. The hole in the center lets heat leave the foam. Lower surface temperature makes paint damage less likely.
• Tapered edge for curves and tight spots. The tapered edge keeps the pad from rolling and lets it turn well on curved panels. It also helps you polish tight areas.
• Fall is the time to polish before storage. October is haul-out and winter storage season. This single-layer pad is made for everyday paint correction, so you can do that work before the boat goes under cover.

What it is

The Lake Country SDO Blue Heavy Polishing Pad is a foam pad for buffing and polishing. SDO means standard duty orbital, which is a single-layer foam pad. It measures 6.5 inches across and 7/8 inch thick, and it is made for random orbital DA polishers.

How to use it

1. Attach the pad to a random orbital DA polisher that has a center ventilated backing plate.
2. Line up the pad's center hole with the plate so heat can escape from the foam while you work.

What else the job needs

Good to have on hand: Lake Country low lint wool heavy cutting pads made of knitted prewashed lambswool, which the product description says pair with this SDO system. Pairs well with medium to heavy cutting compounds.
