Flexipads

Choose the pad's stated job first. The Flexipads range includes very firm cutting foam, polishing foam, softer finishing pads, and dedicated microfiber or wool cutting options. Match the pad to your polish and paint condition, then test a small area. A more aggressive pad is not automatically the best choice, and pad colors should not be treated as a universal grading system.

No. Check the pad diameter, backing attachment, recommended support pad, and machine type before ordering. Flexipads lists specific matching backers and speed limits for different products. A small spot pad, a DA microfiber disc, and a larger foam pad are not interchangeable simply because they share the same brand.

Flexipads recommends rinsing its microfiber discs in hand-warm water and allowing them to air dry. Remove polish residue from the fibers and let the pad dry fully before storage. Follow the instructions for your exact pad rather than assuming the same cleaning method applies to every foam, wool, or microfiber product.

No. The Merino and lambskin wash mitts are contact-wash tools, while the polishing pads are designed for correction or refinement. Use a wash mitt with suitable shampoo, rinse out trapped dirt frequently, and keep wash media separate from pads carrying compound or polish residue.
