Achieve Professional Paint Correction with Dual Action Polishing Pads

ValetPRO Dual Action Polishing Pads are engineered for use with dual action (DA) polishers. The 5.5-inch Velcro-backed foam pads deliver controlled cutting power and excellent finishing ability across all stages of paintwork correction.

Whether you’re removing light swirls and holograms, tackling moderate scratches and oxidation, or correcting heavy defects and deep scratches, there is a pad for the job. All pads work exceptionally well with ValetPRO Advanced Compound, but they can also be used with other compounds and polishes.

Choose the Right Dual Action Pads for the Paint Correction Job.

Light-Medium Polishing Pad This is the gentlest pad in the range, ideal for light defect removal and final finishing. Its soft foam construction provides excellent gloss and clarity while safely removing fine swirls, light holograms, and minor oxidation.

Use it for the final polishing stage after heavier correction, or as a one-step solution on well-maintained paint that only needs a light refresh. It delivers a high-shine finish with minimal risk of introducing new marks. Perfect for enhancing gloss before applying wax, sealant or ceramic coating.

Medium-Heavy Polishing Pad A versatile all-rounder that offers a good balance between cutting power and finishing ability. This pad effectively removes moderate scratches, swirl marks, water spots and light etching while still leaving a very good level of gloss.

It is the go-to pad for most everyday paint correction jobs on daily drivers and show cars. Use it when you need more correction than the Light-Medium pad can provide, but don’t want the aggression of the Maximum Cut pad. Excellent for one- or two-step correction processes.

Maximum Cut Polishing Pad This is the most aggressive pad in the range, designed for heavy defect removal and serious paint correction. The firmer foam and optimised cutting action quickly tackles deep scratches, heavy oxidation, severe swirls and sanding marks.

Use it as the first step on neglected or heavily contaminated paint. While it cuts fast, it still finishes reasonably well for a heavy-cut pad. Follow up with the Medium-Heavy or Light-Medium pad to refine the surface and restore maximum gloss.

3. Spread the compound on a low speed over a 50x50cm section.
4. Work the pad at medium speed (approx. 4,000–5,000 OPM) with light to moderate pressure.
5. Wipe off residue with a clean microfibre cloth and inspect the results.
6. For heavier defects, start with the Maximum Cut pad, then refine with Medium-Heavy or Light-Medium.

Pro Tip: Always work on cool paint in the shade. Clean or replace pads regularly to avoid clogging and ensure consistent performance.
