3D 3.5” Spider-Cut Foam Pad – High-Performance Cutting & Polishing.

The 3D 3.5” Spider-Cut Foam Pad is a professional-grade foam pad designed for aggressive paint correction. With its spider-cut technology, this pad effectively removes scratches, swirls, oxidation, sanding marks, and water spots. Its slotted, flexible design increases surface area and distributes compounds evenly across the paint, allowing for faster correction and extended work time. Furthermore, the open-cell foam construction ensures cooler buffing temperatures, reduces pad tearing, and extends the pad’s lifespan. Ideal for rotary, long-stroke DA, short-stroke DA, gear-driven, or free-spinning polishers, it delivers controlled, professional results on every panel.

This 3.5” pad is engineered for first-step compounding and detailed touch-ups in tight areas. Its sharp, coarse-textured foam cuts through paint defects efficiently while softening slightly during use for maximum coverage. Consequently, the pad maintains balanced contact, ensuring compounds perform at their full potential without overworking the paint. Additionally, the spider-cut slots trap abrasives within the pad, which prolongs working time and improves finishing consistency. This combination of durability, efficiency, and versatility makes it an essential tool for both professional detailers and DIY enthusiasts.

Advanced Spider-Cut Design

The 3D 3.5” Spider-Cut Foam Pad flexes under pressure, allowing air to flow through its open-cell structure. As a result, the pad maintains cooler buffing temperatures while holding compounds where they are needed most. Moreover, its high-tensile foam resists tearing, prevents collapsing, and outperforms standard closed-cell foam pads.

Features of 3.5” Foam Pad:

• High-Performance Cutting: Quickly removes scratches, sanding marks, oxidation, and swirls.

• Durable Foam: Lasts 2–4 times longer than typical pads due to its high-tensile, open-cell design.

• Versatile Use: Works with a 3” backing plate, small panels, headlights, and also tight areas.

• Aggressive Yet Controlled: Provides maximum defect removal while maintaining balanced contact.

• Compound Retention: Spider-cut design traps abrasives for extended work time.

• Enhanced Cooling: Airflow reduces pad temperature and prevents overheating.

• Pro-Level Results: Suitable for rotary and DA polishers, delivering precise, controlled finishes.

How to Use:

1. Attach the 3.5” Spider-Cut Foam Pad to the polisher securely.

2. Apply the appropriate compound or polish to the pad.

3. Use overlapping passes on the paint surface, allowing the pad to flex naturally.

4. Monitor surface temperature to prevent overheating.

5. Wipe off residue with a clean microfiber cloth.

6. Repeat on small or difficult areas for consistent results.

The 3D 3.5” Spider-Cut Foam Pad delivers aggressive cutting power, superior durability, and professional-quality results, making it a must-have tool for any detailing kit.
