The clearly better compression hardness and cell structure give you longer life, which in turn means more value for the person doing the work. The now 25 mm tall pads with a reshaped bead last longer thanks to the rounded edge, and still hug the surface as flexibly as ever. With these improvements our new 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 when you work with our pads. You don't want to miss out on that. For maximum process reliability we're sticking with the colour coding on the pads, so it stays easy to match pad to polish. That saves time and is a real help in the day-to-day grind of a busy detailing job.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Micro Cut Soft Foam Pad \"Violett\" (Soft) — Polishing Pad (2024)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Micro Cut Soft Foam Pad \"Violett\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is built for gently working delicate and tricky paint, like sticky paint.

A hard polishing pad like the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Foam Pad hard\u003c\/strong\u003e maxes out the cut of whatever polish you run on it — it takes off more clear coat than softer pads, which makes it the right tool for deeply weathered clear coat, heavy holograms and oxidised surfaces.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn paint correction the pairing of polish and pad drives the result more than anything else: the same cutting polish gives you far less bite on a soft pad than on a hard one. If you want to pull heavy defects — deeply baked-in holograms, oxidation, deep scratches down into the clear coat — out of the paint efficiently, you need the right pad setup. That's exactly what the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Foam Pad hard\u003c\/strong\u003e was built for: a high-density, open-cell foam polishing pad that lets cutting polishes like PROFILINE CutMax work at full strength.

At the same time the open-cell structure lets the polish spread and release evenly across the whole working face. The result is a controllable, even cut — no local hot spots, no uneven removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong service life thanks to centre cooling and good airflow.\u003c\/strong\u003e Hard cutting builds heat — a problem for cheap pads that warp or fall apart when things get hot. The Foam Pad hard has a dedicated centre-cooling core and an open airflow structure that stops heat from building up. That stretches the pad's service life a lot and lets you polish across several cars without wrecking the pad or burning sanding marks into the paint through overheating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast swaps and precise handling thanks to hook-and-loop backing and a bevelled edge.\u003c\/strong\u003e In day-to-day work every minute counts: the hook-and-loop backing on the Foam Pad hard lets you swap pads in seconds, no tools and no break in the flow. The bevelled foam edge improves handling on edges, corners and tight spots — a detail that, when you're working fenders, door edges and spoilers, makes the difference between a clean result and an unpolished strip along the edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e With the Foam Pad hard, work panel by panel: only ever do one panel (bonnet, roof, a side) per pass, never the whole body at once. The pad releases the polish more evenly when it doesn't sit too long between wetting and wipe-off. After 2–3 panels, clean the pad with a soft pad brush or a quick blast of compressed air — that keeps caked-on polish residue off, which can drag micro-scratches back in as you keep going. When you're done: soak it for 30 minutes in warm water with PROFILINE Microfibre Wash, wring it out and lay it flat to air-dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFoam Pad hard technology — foam density, open cells and cutting behaviour\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cutting power of a pad system comes from three factors working together: the hardness of the pad, the open-cell nature of the foam and the abrasive strength of the polish you run. The \u003cstrong\u003eFoam Pad hard\u003c\/strong\u003e is built for maximum pad intensity — it's the hardest foam pad in the PROFILINE range, which makes it the right pad for heavy-cut polishes like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-cutmax-schleif-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CutMax \"6\/4\" cutting polish\u003c\/a\u003e or the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ultimatecut-schleif-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut \"6+\/3\"\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe open-cell foam of the Foam Pad hard does two jobs: first, the open structure holds larger amounts of polish and releases it evenly and continuously across the working face — no flooding the paint, no dry patches. Second, open cells shed heat better than closed foams: heat generated while you polish is carried out through the pores instead of stored in the pad. Together with the dedicated cooling zone in the centre of the pad, you get a system that stays controllable even on longer polishing sessions and doesn't put the paint at risk through local overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing that matters day-to-day: a hard pad ups the cut, but there are limits too. On freshly polished, thin clear coat, or on cars with a single-stage base coat and no clear, run the Foam Pad hard only with dialled-back machine settings. The pad itself gives you no feedback on how much clear coat is left — measuring paint thickness before you polish is a must, not an option, when you're cutting hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the Foam Pad hard — polish combo, machine and technique\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Foam Pad hard suits all common polishers: rotary polishers (rotaries), dual-action polishers and DA machines. The best machine choice depends on the job: for maximum cut on heavily weathered paint, go with a rotary and the Foam Pad hard, since rotaries remove more at the same rpm than dual-action machines. For steadier, safer work on the everyday holograms you see on new cars, a dual-action machine with the Foam Pad hard is a good compromise between cutting power and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow you spread the polish on the pad is decisive for the result. The go-to is the \"five-point pattern\": four small dabs of polish at the corners of the working face and one in the middle. Then, with the machine off, spread it briefly across the paint before you start it up — that stops the polish flinging off when you switch on. Machine speed for the Foam Pad hard should sit between 1,200 and 1,800 rpm depending on polish and paint hardness; very hard paints (Japanese cars) need higher speeds, softer paints (French and British makes) respond better to lower ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter polishing: clean the polish residue off the pad straight away with a soft pad brush. Caked polish in the pad gives you an uneven cut next time and can leave grooves in the paint. If you work several pads at once, you can swap between panels and clean the resting pad in peace — your pace goes up, pad quality stays constant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the Foam Pad hard fits — weathered paint, oxidation and GRP surfaces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Foam Pad hard covers three main areas: heavily weathered car paint, oxidised surfaces and GRP (glass-reinforced plastic). Heavily weathered paint — typical on cars left exposed for years with no protection — shows dull, rough surfaces with deep holograms and UV damage in the clear coat. Here you need serious cutting volume to take off the damaged clear-coat layer and expose the intact material underneath. The Foam Pad hard is built for exactly this kind of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOxidised paint — especially common on older cars or on plastic parts like bumpers — has lost the molecular structure of its surface to UV exposure. That dull, sometimes chalky surface only comes back with an aggressive pad and a cutting polish. The Foam Pad hard paired with PROFILINE CutMax is the recommended system for this job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGRP surfaces — boat hulls, motorbikes, caravans, sports vehicles — bring their own demands: GRP forgives overheating less than car paint but reacts much the same to mechanical abrasion. The Foam Pad hard is approved for GRP and gives good results on these surfaces as long as you keep the machine settings conservative (medium speed, light pressure).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Foam Pad hard compared — pad hardness grades in the PROFILINE system\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the PROFILINE pad range the Foam Pad hard sits at the top for cutting power. By comparison: the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-schaumpad-medium-polierpad\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Foam Pad medium\u003c\/a\u003e is less hard and pairs medium cut with more gloss potential — it suits one-step polishes or mid-level defects. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-schaumpad-weich-polierpad\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Foam Pad soft\u003c\/a\u003e is the pure finishing pad: very little cut, maximum gloss — only for finish polishes like PROFILINE NP \"03-06\" with no defects to remove first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing between the hardness grades follows one simple rule: the heavier the defects, the harder the pad and the more aggressive the polish. If you run a three-stage process (step 1: remove deep scratches with hard + CutMax; step 2: remove holograms with medium + Cut+Finish; step 3: finalise with soft + NP), you get the best result. For simpler cases a two-stage process, or even a one-step pass with the medium pad, does the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside the Foam Pads, the PROFILINE system also has the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-exzenterpad-hart-polierpad\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Eccentric Pad hard\u003c\/a\u003e — a similarly hard pad, but specially matched to the motion of dual-action machines. If you work exclusively with dual-action machines, take a look at the Eccentric Pad hard; if you work with a rotary or several machine types, the Foam Pad hard keeps you flexible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy the SONAX PROFILINE Foam Pad hard — sizes, system combo and recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PROFILINE Foam Pad hard comes in two sizes: Ø75 mm for smaller backing plates and precise work on small panels, corners and bumper details — and Ø150 mm for large-area work on the bonnet, roof and sides. For a complete polishing station, go for a set of several pads in both sizes: that way you can swap between panels without waiting on a clean pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideal system combo for heavy defects: Foam Pad hard Ø150 mm + PROFILINE CutMax \"6\/4\" on a rotary or dual-action polisher for the first cutting pass. Then Foam Pad medium + PROFILINE Cut+Finish \"5\/5\" for the mid-level polish, and finally Foam Pad soft + PROFILINE NP \"03-06\" for the high-gloss finish. This three-stage product chain is fully covered in the PROFILINE range — every component is matched to the next and gives you repeatable results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailing businesses it's worth keeping at least 4–6 Foam Pads hard per size on hand: that way you can always start with a fresh pad while used ones get freshened up during the overnight clean.

If you lean on the machine, heat builds up, and the pad itself creates fine holograms that you will then have to polish out again. Work with the weight of the machine and light pressure, moving in passes rather than focusing on a single spot, and brush out the pad every two to three sections. On weathered Audi A4 paint, a clogged pad only caused smears for us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApply Pre-Cut polish and work in passes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ultra-Hard pad works with the most powerful sanding stage: apply a pea-sized amount of polish to the pad, distribute it at a low speed, and then work it in with light pressure in overlapping passes until the defects disappear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA prerequisite is clean, masked paint—washed and decontaminated so that no particles become embedded in the pad and create new scratches. The blue pad is color-coordinated with the powerful \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-pc-5000-pre-cut-blau-schleifpolitur\"\u003ePC 5000 Pre Cut sanding polish\u003c\/a\u003e. Work in sections of about 40 by 40 centimeters and check after each area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the pad clean: brush out the polishing dust after two to three sections or switch to a second pad; a clogged pad will only smear. After polishing, wash out with lukewarm water and a bit of pad cleaner, then air-dry lying flat—never on a heater—to keep the thermo-foam dimensionally stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeavy correction yes, finishing no\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ultra-Hard pad is made for heavy correction: deep scratches, severe holograms, and weathered clear coat are its core specialty; it is not for the final high-gloss finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts strength is maximum removal. Where a medium or soft pad needs multiple passes or fails to get through entirely, the hard blue pad with Pre-Cut polish removes the defects in one step. The rubber support layer keeps the pressure even across a large hood, rather than cutting only under the edge of the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limits are clear: such a hard pad usually leaves behind a light sanding pattern after heavy correction, which a second step with a softer pad and finer polish will remove. On soft, sensitive clear coats—such as many Japanese paints—the Ultra Hard is quickly too aggressive and causes its own holograms. In that case, the one-grade-softer \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-thermo-allrounder-pad-hard-rot-thermo-schaumpad\"\u003eHard Pad in red\u003c\/a\u003e is the safer choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis leads to the if-then logic of hardness selection. If there are deep defects and hard paint, then choose Ultra Hard in blue with Pre-Cut. If there are medium defects or softer paint, choose one step softer and a finer polish. Harder means more cut, softer means better finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor heavy correction, not a quick freshen-up\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pad is the right choice when real defects need to be removed: neglected paint with deep scratches, holograms from incorrect previous preparation, or years of weathering where raw cutting power counts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it works on both random orbital and rotary polishers, it fits everyone from the ambitious dual-action beginner to the professional using a rotary. Ultra Hard is the starting point of a multi-step setup, not a pad for occasional use.

For light swirls, a medium pad is sufficient; for pure high-gloss, a soft one—the ultra-hard pad would unnecessarily remove material, and clear coat is thin and finite at about 40 to 50 micrometers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one point many underestimate: during heavy correction, the pad determines the result more than the polish. The same Pre-Cut polish cuts noticeably more aggressively on the ultra-hard blue pad than on a soft one.

A hard red polishing pad made of open-cell thermo foam with a built-in rubber support layer, made for serious cut on DA and rotary.

Between the hook-and-loop backing and the foam sits a rubber support layer that spreads the pressure evenly across the working face, damps vibration and stops polish wicking into the hook-and-loop. The open-cell thermo foam holds its shape better than standard foam under friction heat and keeps the cut consistent across the whole pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRubber support layer for even pressure.\u003c\/strong\u003e The layer between hook-and-loop and foam spreads the pressing force across the face instead of in spots and damps the machine's vibration.

Lean the pad into the paint and you get friction heat instead of cut — on 2026 paint we had a dull haze instead of correction within seconds. Let the abrasives in the polish do the work: a pea-sized amount on the pad, spread at about 1,000 rpm, then work it in with medium pressure at up to 1,800 rpm. The hard pad delivers its cut through the abrasives, not through your elbow grease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpread first, then work it in with medium pressure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpread a pea-sized amount of polish at about 1,000 rpm, then work it in with light to medium pressure at up to 1,800 rpm until the polish film turns clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt runs on DA and rotary alike. The paint has to be clean, washed and decontaminated, or a speck of dirt in the pad drags fine scratches. Work in sections of about 40 by 40 centimetres and pair the hard red pad with a strong \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-hc-4000-heavy-cut-rot-schleifpolitur\"\u003eHC 4000 compound\u003c\/a\u003e, whose colour is matched to the red grade in the ZviZZer system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the pad clean: after two or three sections, knock out the polish dust or switch to a fresh pad. A clogged pad just smears and stops cutting. Prime new pads with a little polish before first use so the open-cell foam takes it up evenly instead of grabbing dry in patches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTough defects yes, show-car finish no\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hard red pad is made for serious cut: with the right compound it pulls out scratches, holograms and weathered clear coat, but it's too coarse for that last per cent of high gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts home turf is the correction step before finishing. With a highly abrasive compound it works out defects a soft pad would only polish over. The open-pore structure keeps the cutting performance at the same level the whole time instead of fading as you polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limits, honestly: a hard pad won't finish hologram-free. After correction comes a softer step. If you're building out holograms and final gloss, go for the softer \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-thermo-allrounder-pad-medium-orange-thermo-schaumpad\"\u003eThermo Allrounder Pad Medium\u003c\/a\u003e with a one-step or finishing polish. If you're taking out even deeper damage on tough paint, go one grade up to the blue Ultra Hard pad. On very soft Japanese clear coats a hard pad can quickly leave holograms or overheat the paint locally — there you're better off working a grade softer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the correction polisher, not the gloss lover\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hard Thermo Allrounder Pad is the right call if you're taking out real defects and want a pad that doesn't collapse under heat and holds its cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it runs on DA and rotary, it fits almost any polishing workflow, from keen beginners to seasoned detailers. It's the correction building block of the graded ZviZZer pad system and part of our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/polierpads-schleifschwamme\"\u003epolishing pads and sanding sponges\u003c\/a\u003e. The five sizes from Ø 50 to 165 millimetres cover everything from a mirror edge to a big bonnet: the small 50 for tight spots, the 140 and 165 for large panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less suited to pure gloss lovers who only want a refresh without removing defects, and to show-car finishers who run a dedicated finishing step at the end anyway. If you need both on a regular basis, you're better off with several grades from the Allrounder system than with a single pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one thing most people underestimate: pad hardness and polish abrasives work together, not against each other. A hard pad with a fine polish gives less cut than you'd expect; a soft one with a coarse polish gives more than you'd think. Match the grade to the polish instead of just cranking up the pressure, and you'll get more correction and less heat out of every pass — which is exactly what the red grade is built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"ZviZZer","offers":[{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867589157199,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00005020HC","price":5.83,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867589189967,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00007020HC","price":6.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867589222735,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00009020HC","price":7.15,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867589255503,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00014020HC","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867589288271,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00016520HC","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882107838799,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00005020HC_10","price":58.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882107871567,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00005020HC_50","price":291.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882107904335,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00007020HC_10","price":66.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882107937103,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00007020HC_50","price":334.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882107969871,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00009020HC_10","price":71.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882108002639,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00009020HC_50","price":357.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882108035407,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00014020HC_10","price":129.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882108068175,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00014020HC_50","price":649.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882108100943,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00016520HC_10","price":169.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882108133711,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00016520HC_50","price":849.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/zvizzer-thermo-allrounder-pad-hard-rot-thermo-schaumpad_50-20-35-mm.png?v=1780779089"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.de\/en\/collections\/kleine-pads-cutting-pads-aus-schaumstoff.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
