Find professional-grade abrasive hand pads, ideal for effective cleaning, scuffing, and surface preparation on all car surfaces. Our heavy-duty pads provide consistent finishing results - excellent for paint correction, detailing, and refinishing.

Why Use Our Hand Pads?

  • Trade-quality build - made with materials such as aluminium oxide and silicon carbide for long-lasting performance.
  • Flexible for all uses - ideal for blocking, feather-edging, detailing, and readying surfaces for paintwork.
  • Flexible & conformable - pads follow curves and contours while maintaining flat contact for smoother finish.
  • Multi-grade range available - from coarse for aggressive prep to ultra-fine for polishing, guaranteeing precise results throughout paint stages.
  • Effective for bodyshops & DIY - allows rapid and uniform sanding, avoiding potential finger marks or uneven pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 

Q1. What grit should I use?
Coarser pads (e.g., ~P150–P320) are used for severe scuffing or paint stripping. Finer grades (e.g., P600 and higher) are best used for finishing, smoothing clearcoats, or polishing preparation.

Q2. Are the pads wet or dry usable?
Yes - our hand pads work both wet and dry for versatility in various detailing workflows.

Q3.  Why use hand pads in addition to sandpaper?
Hand pads provide better grip, contour flexibility, and even pressure distribution - providing smoother, more even results with less strain.

Q4. What is the best way to prevent finger or patch marks?
Apply even pressure using a flat, clean hand motion. Lightweight, flexible pads distribute force evenly to minimize unnaturally marked spots.

Quick Tips for Best Results

  • Begin with a test area - particularly with new paint or coat types, a small test guarantees desired finish.
  • Utilize even strokes - keep sanding strokes even and overlap areas minimally to prevent noticeable lines.
  • Trim and keep up - if pads are perforated, remove fresh sections when edges are loaded to continue effectively.
