About product

The Number Five polishing pad

An aid for the closing phase of painting, when the model is already sprayed and the only thing left is the quality of the surface. The pad itself removes nothing; it is a carrier onto which polishing paste is applied, and at the same time a springy backing that keeps the pressure spread evenly across the whole contact area.

Why a cloth is not enough

When polishing with a finger through a cloth, the entire force gathers at a single point. The result tends to be hollows in the places of greatest pressure and polished-through edges, where the paint has thinned down to the plastic. A flat springy pad evens out this unevenness: the edges stay untouched and the surface becomes uniform, because the paste reaches everywhere in the same way.

Recommended procedure

  • Work only on a fully cured coat, otherwise the pad will shift the paint.
  • Apply the paste to the pad and not directly to the model, as it goes further that way.
  • Keep a separate piece for each grade of coarseness so that the abrasives do not mix.
  • Wash the pad after you are done and let it dry lying flat rather than crumpled.

Who it suits

For builders of automobiles, motorcycles and anything that is meant to have a body smooth enough for a display case. It is useful as well where an unsuccessful spray coat is being put right and the point is to return the surface to its original state without respraying the whole part. It will do a smaller but noticeable service on clear parts too, where polishing removes the traces of the mold and the glazing is returned to a clear state.

The polishing paste is not supplied with the pad and is bought separately according to the grade required.

FAQ

It is not. The pad is a separate aid and you obtain the polishing preparation for it separately, according to how coarse a grade you need.

Yes, after washing and drying. Dried remains of abrasive do change the result, which is why the grades are not mixed on a single piece.

A flat surface is its domain. For narrow corners a wooden stick with a piece of cloth or a thin sponge is more suitable.
