FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the T-Cut 5" Medium Polishing Pad?

The primary purpose is to remove light scratches, holograms, and surface defects, providing a deep and even polish when used with T-Cut Perfect Compound or T-Cut Headlight Polishing Compound on dual action machines.

Can I use this pad with any polishing compound?

While it is optimized for T-Cut Perfect Compound and T-Cut Headlight Polishing Compound, it may be used with other compounds, but results may vary, and longevity could be affected. It is specifically designed to work best with T-Cut products.

What type of polishing machine should I use with this pad?

This pad is specially crafted for use with dual action (DA) polishing machines.

How do I clean the polishing pad after use?

After each use, clean the pad with a stiff brush or compressed air. For a deeper clean, hand wash with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and allow to air dry completely before storing.

Is this pad suitable for heavy scratch removal?

No, this is a medium cut pad designed for light scratches and surface defects. For heavier correction, a more aggressive pad and compound combination would be necessary.

What paint finishes can I use this pad on?

The pad is suitable for a wide variety of paint finishes.

Where are T-Cut products manufactured?

T-Cut products are proudly owned and manufactured in Britain.

Troubleshooting

Pad is not attaching securely to the polisher.

Ensure the hook-and-loop backing on both the pad and the polisher's backing plate are clean and free of debris. Make sure the pad is centered and pressed firmly onto the plate.

Uneven polishing results.

Check that the compound is being applied evenly and that the polisher speed is consistent across the working area. Ensure the pad is clean and not saturated with product residue.

Pad seems to be wearing out quickly.

Avoid excessive pressure during polishing. Clean the pad frequently during use to prevent compound buildup, which can stress the foam. Ensure you are using the correct speed settings for your DA polisher.

Pad is leaving behind excessive foam dust.

This can occur with new pads or with over-agitation. Clean the pad thoroughly and try a slightly lower speed setting on your polisher. If it persists, consider if the pad is appropriate for the task or compound being used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your dual action polishing machine is clean and in good working order.
  2. Attach the T-Cut 5” Medium Polishing Pad securely to the machine's backing plate. Most DA polishers use a hook-and-loop system for easy pad attachment.
  3. Apply the recommended T-Cut compound (T-Cut Perfect Compound or T-Cut Headlight Polishing Compound) in a thin, even layer onto the pad or directly onto the paint surface.

Compatibility:

  • Machines: Exclusively designed for use with Dual Action (DA) polishing machines.
  • Compounds: Optimized for T-Cut Perfect Compound and T-Cut Headlight Polishing Compound. Using other compounds may yield different results or affect pad longevity.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, carefully remove the pad from the backing plate. Clean the pad using a stiff brush or compressed air to remove excess compound and paint residue. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. Allow the pad to air dry completely before storing.
  • Storage: Store the pads in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and chemicals. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them to maintain their shape.
