Black Optics Cutting Pad 4 inch

The Chemical Guys Black Optics Cutting Pad 4 inch uses advanced microfiber technology to cut heavy swirls, scratches and oxidation out of the paint. The pad works on both rotary and DA polishers and delivers a consistent result, even for beginners, because the microfiber structure largely removes human error. The hook-and-loop backing fits a 4 inch backing plate. Pair the pad with a cutting compound or heavy-cut polish for the best result on badly damaged paint. This pad is built for beginners and professionals alike and restores clear, glossy paint, even where deep swirl marks remain. Thanks to its advanced microfiber surface, it outperforms a traditional foam or wool pad.
