Best Pads to Use with a One‑Step Polish Like Picture Perfect Polish
A one‑step polish is only as good as the pad it’s used with. Use the wrong pad, and you’ll lose cut or sacrifice finish quality. Here’s the breakdown of the best pad types to pair with Picture Perfect Polish—and why.
Whether you’re going for maximum correction, balanced results, or a finish-down gloss, the right pad makes all the difference.
1. Burgundy Cut & Finish Pad (Foam Hybrid)
This pad offers balanced correction with a soft finish. It’s perfect for one‑step jobs where you want cut and clarity in a single pass.
2. Black Final Polish Pad (Soft Foam)
Use this pad to finish glossy finishes on soft or dark paint. It refines while preserving clarity—with zero haze.
3. Microfiber Cutting Pad
When hard paint or surface etching needs more aggression, pairing Picture Perfect Polish with a microfiber pad delivers compound-level cut without switching products.
4. Wool or Hybrid Pads
For maximum correction speed—especially with rotary polishers—wool pads excel. Just check your finish and follow with a refining pad if needed.
