Thanks to these upgrades, our new polishing pads now work really well with dual-action polishers too. That makes our new polishing pads a genuine innovation for the detailing trade. More durability with the same handling gives you a whole new experience with our polishing pads. You don't want to miss out on that.

Too hard a pad scratches with a finishing polish, too soft a pad builds no cut, and both heat up the paint. Always match the pad to the polish: the orange Medium goes with a one-step polish like the MC 3000. Knock out the polish dust after two or three sections, otherwise a clogged pad just smears. That's how we got a clean result in a single pass on a swirled bonnet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePolish on the pad, pad to suit the polish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Medium pad takes a pea-sized amount of polish, spreads it at low speed and then works it in under medium pressure until the polish film turns clear.

In colour and function, the orange Medium pairs with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-mc-3000-medium-cut-orange-one-step-politur\"\u003eMC 3000 one-step polish\u003c\/a\u003e — same grade, same colour.

After two or three sections, knock out the polish dust or switch to a fresh pad, because a saturated pad won't build gloss any more.

That's exactly what the medium hardness is made for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor deep scratches you can clearly feel with a fingernail, or heavy holograms, a medium foam won't cut it. Then the route is a harder red Hard pad or a wool pad with a compound, followed by a finer pad to finish. Medium foam doesn't replace a hard cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the other end is that last per cent of finish: if a flawless show-car mirror is the goal, you follow the one-step stage with a softer pad.

Orange is the starting point; you only go harder or softer when you need to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less suited to two specialist jobs: heavy correction on neglected paint, where a wool pad does the initial cutting, and the no-compromise concours finish, where an Ultra Soft pad runs last. If you regularly work at both extremes, add the graded ZviZZer system from blue to green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one thing most people underestimate: a thermo foam pad is a consumable, but a well-looked-after one lasts many times longer. Wash it out by hand in lukewarm water or with pad cleaner after use and let it air-dry — never on the radiator or with a heat gun, or the reticulated foam hardens. That way the quoted 5 to 6 times lifespan actually turns into a long-lasting pad in real life, not a throwaway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"ZviZZer","offers":[{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867580539215,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00005020MC","price":4.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867580571983,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00007020MC","price":5.46,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867580604751,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00009020MC","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867580637519,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00014020MC","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867580670287,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00016520MC","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882134937935,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00005020MC_10","price":48.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882134970703,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00005020MC_50","price":244.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882135003471,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00007020MC_10","price":54.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882135036239,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00007020MC_50","price":273.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882135069007,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00009020MC_10","price":59.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882135101775,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00009020MC_50","price":299.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882135134543,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00014020MC_10","price":119.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882135167311,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00014020MC_50","price":599.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882135200079,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00016520MC_10","price":159.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882135232847,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00016520MC_50","price":799.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/zvizzer-thermo-trapez-pad-medium-orange-thermo-schaumpad_50-20-35-mm.png?v=1780776714"},{"product_id":"zvizzer-thermo-allrounder-pad-medium-orange-thermo-schaumpad","title":"Thermo Allrounder Pad \"Medium\" Thermo Foam Pad (Orange)","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eA pad that runs on both DA and rotary\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the ZviZZer Thermo Allrounder Pad Medium?

A small spot-polishing pad made of open-cell thermo foam in Ø 15 and 25 millimetres, rated Orange in the five-colour system and therefore Medium.

Its open-cell foam soaks up the polish and pulls the friction heat away, so it keeps its shape and won't overheat even on longer jobs. As a \u003cstrong\u003emini polishing pad\u003c\/strong\u003e with a hook-and-loop backing, it's built for the spot polisher and tight radii, and comes in a 10-pack.

A pea-sized blob that belongs on a 140-millimetre pad drowns a 15-millimetre pad and flings off the moment it spins up. The mini wants a lentil-sized drop, spread at around 1,000 rpm and then worked out at a moderate speed. On a spot correction at a door-handle recess, one pad per side did the job for us, where too much product clogged three pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLay on a lentil-sized drop and work it at a moderate speed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mini pad takes a lentil-sized drop of polish, which you spread on the spot at around 1,000 rpm and then work out at a moderate speed until the film goes clear and the gloss stands up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe prerequisite is a clean surface: washed, decontaminated, the spot exposed. Set the pad on a mini backing plate that's smaller than the pad diameter, otherwise the edge tips up and overheats. The matching \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-mc-3000-medium-cut-orange-one-step-politur\"\u003eOrange one-step polish\u003c\/a\u003e is colour-matched to the Medium pad. Go for Ø 15 millimetres on very tight radii, Ø 25 millimetres for slightly bigger spots like a fuel-filler flap or a single scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall pads build heat faster than big ones, so the rule is: moderate speed and keep the pad moving. Knock the polishing dust out after every spot or swap the pad — that's why there are ten in the pack. A clogged mini just smears and won't build gloss any more. You'll find more small pads in the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/polierpads-schleifschwamme\"\u003epolishing pad category\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmall defects yes whole panels no\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mini pad corrects light to medium swirls and scratches in individual spots — for the whole bonnet it's the wrong tool, since a 15-millimetre pad would take hours and finish unevenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts home turf is the spots where a big pad fails: tight radii, sharp edges, swage lines, recesses and gap areas. Here the medium mini pulls a result out of a single spot pass that you'd otherwise have to chase by hand with uncontrolled pressure. On a weathered bumper edge one pass isn't always enough — then we follow up with a second spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limits are clear: with deep scratches your fingernail clearly catches in, Medium hits its ceiling — then go to a harder red mini in the same build with a cutting polish first, and a finish after. For full panels a big trapezoid or all-rounder pad belongs on the job anyway. And on very soft Japanese clearcoats even Medium can lay down light holograms, so you drop a step softer with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-thermo-mini-pad-soft-gelb-thermo-schaumpad\"\u003eyellow Soft mini pad\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the spot detailer not the panel polisher\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mini pad is the right call when you want to get clean the spots left behind by panel polishing, and don't want to push around by hand with uncontrolled pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less suited to two cases: polishing whole body panels, where a big pad does in minutes what the mini does in hours, and heavy correction of deeply scratched spots, where the harder cut of a wool pad is missing. If you regularly recondition complete cars, you're better off with the graded mini set in several hardnesses plus big pads than with a single Medium pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the workflow the mini is the last touch: once the big panels are done with a trapezoid or all-rounder, you go back over the edges and radii the big pads skipped with the mini. These are exactly the spots most people skip over — and that's why a freshly polished car stays dull at the mirror triangles and door edges while the panels shine. Put a mini polishing pad on those, and you make the difference between almost done and actually done.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZviZZer","offers":[{"title":"Ø 15 × 10 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57867589943631,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TMINI0000015MC","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 25 × 10 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57867589976399,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TMINI0000025MC","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 15 × 10 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882223411535,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TMINI0000015MC_50","price":64.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 25 × 10 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882223444303,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TMINI0000025MC_50","price":74.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/zvizzer-thermo-mini-pad-medium-orange-thermo-schaumpad_25-x-10-mm.png?v=1780776540"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.fr\/en\/collections\/mini-pads-polishing-pads-aus-schaumstoff.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
