The clearly better compression hardness and cell structure give you more durability, which in turn means more economy for the user. At 25 mm tall with a reshaped bead, the rounded edge boosts longevity while the pads still flex naturally to the surface. Thanks to these upgrades, our new pads now also work very well on dual-action polishers. That makes them a genuine innovation for the detailing trade. More durability with the same handling gives you a whole new feel when you polish. Don't miss out on it. For maximum process reliability we're sticking with the colour coding on the pads, so matching pad to polish stays simple.

Too hard a pad scratches with a finishing polish, too soft a pad builds no cut, and both heat up the paint. Always match the pad to the polish: the orange Medium goes with a one-step polish like the MC 3000. Knock out the polish dust after two or three sections, otherwise a clogged pad just smears. That's how we got a clean result in a single pass on a swirled bonnet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePolish on the pad, pad to suit the polish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Medium pad takes a pea-sized amount of polish, spreads it at low speed and then works it in under medium pressure until the polish film turns clear.

That's exactly what the medium hardness is made for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor deep scratches you can clearly feel with a fingernail, or heavy holograms, a medium foam won't cut it. Then the route is a harder red Hard pad or a wool pad with a compound, followed by a finer pad to finish. Medium foam doesn't replace a hard cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the other end is that last per cent of finish: if a flawless show-car mirror is the goal, you follow the one-step stage with a softer pad.

Orange is the starting point; you only go harder or softer when you need to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less suited to two specialist jobs: heavy correction on neglected paint, where a wool pad does the initial cutting, and the no-compromise concours finish, where an Ultra Soft pad runs last. If you regularly work at both extremes, add the graded ZviZZer system from blue to green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one thing most people underestimate: a thermo foam pad is a consumable, but a well-looked-after one lasts many times longer. Wash it out by hand in lukewarm water or with pad cleaner after use and let it air-dry — never on the radiator or with a heat gun, or the reticulated foam hardens. That way the quoted 5 to 6 times lifespan actually turns into a long-lasting pad in real life, not a throwaway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"ZviZZer","offers":[{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867580539215,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00005020MC","price":4.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867580571983,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00007020MC","price":5.46,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867580604751,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00009020MC","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867580637519,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00014020MC","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867580670287,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00016520MC","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882134937935,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00005020MC_10","price":48.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882134970703,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00005020MC_50","price":244.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882135003471,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00007020MC_10","price":54.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882135036239,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00007020MC_50","price":273.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882135069007,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00009020MC_10","price":59.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882135101775,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00009020MC_50","price":299.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882135134543,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00014020MC_10","price":119.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882135167311,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00014020MC_50","price":599.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882135200079,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00016520MC_10","price":159.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882135232847,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00016520MC_50","price":799.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/zvizzer-thermo-trapez-pad-medium-orange-thermo-schaumpad_50-20-35-mm.png?v=1780776714"},{"product_id":"zvizzer-thermo-allrounder-pad-medium-orange-thermo-schaumpad","title":"Thermo Allrounder Pad \"Medium\" Thermo Foam Pad (Orange)","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eA pad that runs on both DA and rotary\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the ZviZZer Thermo Allrounder Pad Medium?

The orange pad is colour-matched to the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/zvizzer-mc-3000-medium-cut-orange-one-step-politur\"\u003eMC 3000 Medium Cut\u003c\/a\u003e, which it's meant to pair with as a one-step combo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrime a new pad once: work a thin coat of polish in so the foam takes it up evenly. Keep the pad clean and tap the residue out regularly. Below 15 degrees paint temperature the foam gets stubborn — go a touch higher on speed rather than adding more polish, or material backs up in the pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMedium defects yes, heavy correction no\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Medium pad handles light-to-medium swirls, holograms and dull paint reliably — but on deep scratches you can clearly catch with a fingernail, the foam pad hasn't got the aggressive first cut for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts home turf is the one-step reconditioning of wear on a well-kept daily driver. The rubber backing layer keeps the cut even, so you can cover ground with no hologram risk as long as the defect stays in the medium range. On a weathered plastic bumper the effect stays small — there's no hard clear coat to work on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limits are clear.

If you constantly need both ends, you're better off with the graduated ZviZZer system from blue to green than with a single hardness. For a standard that covers 90 percent of jobs, go orange; for an extreme, reach for the matching special pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the workflow, the Medium pad is the starting point of almost every job. The one thing most people miss: they buy five sizes in one hardness but only one in each of the others. It's exactly the other way round — you want the full size range of the orange Allrounder, because it runs on mirrors, edges and the bonnet alike, while the extreme hardnesses only come into play for special cases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZviZZer","offers":[{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867589321039,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00005020MC","price":5.83,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867589353807,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00007020MC","price":6.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867589386575,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00009020MC","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867589419343,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00014020MC","price":13.92,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867589452111,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00016520MC","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882114982223,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00005020MC_10","price":58.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882115014991,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00005020MC_50","price":291.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882115047759,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00007020MC_10","price":66.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882115080527,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00007020MC_50","price":334.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882115113295,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00009020MC_10","price":59.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882115146063,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00009020MC_50","price":299.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882115178831,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00014020MC_10","price":139.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882115211599,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00014020MC_50","price":696.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57882115244367,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00016520MC_10","price":169.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57882115277135,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00016520MC_50","price":849.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/zvizzer-thermo-allrounder-pad-medium-orange-thermo-schaumpad_50-20-35-mm.png?v=1780779370"},{"product_id":"zvizzer-thermo-cone-pad-medium-orange-thermo-schaumpad","title":"Thermo Cone Pad \"Medium\" Thermo Foam Pad (Orange)","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003ePolish corners and contours where the flat pad can't reach\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the ZviZZer Thermo Cone Pad Medium? A cone-shaped polishing pad made of open-cell thermo foam with hook-and-loop backing, whose tapered tip gets into tight spots, corners, swage lines and contours.

The cone tip drives into corners, swage lines and tight radii a flat pad can't get near, while the open-cell thermo foam pulls the friction heat away and keeps the cut under control. It runs on a rotary machine and its colour is matched to the mid-range one-step polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe tip reaches the problem zones.\u003c\/strong\u003e At Ø 30 mm at the base and 40 mm long, this cone-shaped polishing pad gets to mirror mounts, air intakes, door handle recesses and badges, where a 50 mm flat pad rides up on the edge.

A red pad gives more cut on tough edges, a yellow one more finish on delicate contours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most common mistake with the Cone Pad is too much pressure on the tip. Lean on it fully and the small cone face builds heat in one spot, the thermo foam overheats and the polish dries on. Set the tip lightly into the contour and lay down less polish than you would on a flat pad. On a fiddly bumper with air intakes, that got us 2 calm passes instead of one flat-out pass that would have glazed the foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTip lightly into the contour on the rotary machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou run the Cone Pad on the rotary machine and set the tip lightly into corners, swage lines and tight radii, while the speed delivers the controlled cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe starting point is a clean, taped-off surface. A drop-sized amount of the matching \u003ca href=\"\/products\/zvizzer-mc-3000-medium-cut-orange-one-step-politur\"\u003eone-step polish in orange\u003c\/a\u003e is enough for the small area, because the cone-shaped polishing pad needs far less product than a flat pad. Work contour by contour, not across big areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the pad clean: knock the polish dust out after a few contours, otherwise the clogged foam just smears. After the job, hand-wash it in lukewarm water and let it air-dry — never on a radiator or with a heat gun, because the thermo foam hardens under that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYes for tight spots, no for the bonnet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cone Pad is a detail pad for corners, contours and spot repair, not for big panels. Polishing a bonnet with Ø 30 mm takes forever and comes out uneven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts strength is the geometry: the tapered tip reaches recesses and edges a flat pad skips. The R6c answer from our knowledge base puts it well — a narrow, rounded contact patch stops you from accidentally burning through the paint on swage lines or body edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limits are clear. When big areas like bonnets, doors or roofs are on the list, you grab a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/polierpads-schleifschwamme\"\u003eflat pad from the polishing pad category\u003c\/a\u003e from Ø 50 mm up. If you work only with a dual-action or DA machine, the Cone Pad won't fit, because it's built for the rotary alone. And if a deep scratch sits on an edge, you need a harder red cone plus a cutting polish, because medium foam on its own won't do the first cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the one who polishes edges clean, not the panel worker\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cone Pad pays off when you want the last ten percent out of a polish and don't want to leave corners, contours and tight spots dull. It's the add-on pad to your flat-pad set, not a replacement for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less suited to anyone who just wants to buff up a panel quickly, or to the pure DA user without a rotary machine. If you regularly detail whole cars, you pair the cone-shaped polishing pad with a trapezoid or all-rounder pad for the panels and a one-step polish — then the car is even from the bonnet to the mirror mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one trick no maker writes down: at the contours, change the pad hardness sooner than the polish. A delicate, already thin paint edge on a ten-year-old bumper takes the yellow soft cone better than the orange, and you save yourself the burn-through that happens fastest at exactly those edges.
