This pad offers the correction of a typical compounding pad while at the same time allowing the polishing ability of a light cut foam pad. When used with heavier compounds it will remove moderate swirls and scratches with little or no haze. It is an all around pad that will work on most light to moderate imperfections. This pad features PUR+ (Poly-Urethane-Reactive Bonding). This pad has the most durable and resistant backing plate, it is soft and gentle to paint. The PUR+ backing plates can be washed hundreds of times guaranteeing a perfect grip with every use that is PUR+ technology. This pad also features Hexagon technology, also known as Hex-Logic. Hex-Logic pads are designed to hold product and distribute it evenly over the surface of the pad delivering a superior even finish that is hard to achieve with any other pad. The unique construction of the pads makes them extremely easy to maneuver while distributing the product evenly on the surface. The Hex-Logic pads keep the product in the groves while you start and as the pad is spun and rubbed against the surface, the polish will travel through the hex-groves into the pad, evenly delivering a superior accurate finish. The surface is constantly lubricated which reduces friction and marring. The unique hex laser cut surface of the pad enables Hex-Logic pads to conform to the shape of the surface delivering maximum surface contact. The Hexagon construction forms perfectly to a vehicle's many curves while the unique pad construction reduces unnecessary heat. The self-centered pads are uniquely sized to 5.5 inches making them perfect for big or small jobs.

What do you recommend (2011 with swirls from washing/drying and a new 2015 that I will polish and wax upon arrival)?** A: He the same problems with a black car. Real heavy swirl marks. Used VSS from Chemical Guys with a orange pad sealed it with Jet seal and a black pad came back over with a microfiber applicator and BlackLight glaze. **Q: is this a velcro/hook and loop pad. is this the pad i would buy to remove light swirl marks on a new clear coat finish? thank you** A: The orange pad is for swirl removal generally with something like m 105. The white pad is for polishing to bring out the shine with something like m 205 but it does have a light cut for fine swirl marks. **Q: Do these pads stick to a orbital sander?** A: They have a Velcro backing. The pads are the "furry/loop" part. You need the backing plate (most are yellow) that attaches to the orbital sander. **Q: how do you clean them** A: This all depends on if you just want to clean them, or clean and rejuvenate them. If you just want to clean them and aren't worried about the foam pads tearing or wearing out then a good (mild) dish soap like Dawn will clean them. However a good Polishing and Buffing Pad Conditioner will do so much more. By using a Polishing and Buffing Pad Conditioner you will reduce friction so the pad will be less susceptible to tearing. Lubricated pads cut and polish with less wear and tear on the pad. The light conditioning lubricants inside add extra surface protection by reducing dry friction while polishing. A good Polishing and Buffing Pad Conditioner works with lubricants in the products you are using, providing extra needed lubrication to protect against micro-marring and the possibility of burning paint through friction. I use the Chemical Guys BUF_301_16 Polishing and Buffing Pad Conditioner ( https://www.amazon.com/Chemical-Guys-BUF_301_16-Polishing-Conditioner/dp/B0040MGUKI/ref=pd_cp_263_3?pd_rd_w=9EAYa&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=9AY1HK00EBJ7VGF63EXQ&pd_rd_r=e1e9d9e0-2ea5-4850-a9f7-a88ed6374fad&pd_rd_wg=Z4aLG&pd_rd_i=B0040MGUKI&psc=1&refRID=9AY1HK00EBJ7VGF63EXQ ) and it works great. Cost about the same as the Dawn soap alone does but works so much better and the pads last longer with it too. Cleans microfiber cloths and wool pads as well (do not use regular soaps on microfiber cloths because they will get gummed up). Once the pads have been cleaned shake them a few times to purge any water left inside the pad, and then let them dry in the sun for a few hours (velcro side facing down). Once dry you can then put them back into the plastic bag they came in, but do NOT put them in the bag wet or mold will form and ruin the pads. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice pad *by M***N on March 10, 2026* Primarily purchased for restoring badly hazed lenses using their Torqx polisher.

I just did a full paint correction on a 13 year old car and these worked so well. Used in conjunction with Chemical guys C4 and P4 with their pad lube and the car paint is like glass. The pads help up great and they are cleaned and on deck for the next detail. Highly recommend these. ## Frequently Bought Together - Chemical Guys BUFX_102_HEX5 Hex-Logic Medium-Heavy Cutting Pad, Orange, 5.5" Pad made for 5" backing plates, 1 Pad Included - Chemical Guys BUFX114HEX5 Hex-Logic Quantum Light-Medium Polishing Pad, White (5.5 Inch Fits 5 Inch Backing Plate) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/3908395-hex-logic-medium-heavy-cutting-pad-orange](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/3908395-hex-logic-medium-heavy-cutting-pad-orange) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
