Uni-X Cut & Finish Grey Microfiber Pad - 5''

X-TRA — Cutting Grey Microfiber Pad

The X-TRA Cutting Grey Microfiber Pad delivers aggressive, fast-cut correction on modern clear coats. Its densely packed cutting fibers level heavy swirls, oxidation, and sanding haze quickly while maintaining stable panel control—ideal before refining with a foam polishing pad.

Available Sizes: 1.2" (pack of 5), 2" (pack of 5), 3", 5", 6"

Why You'll Love It

• High-rate defect removal — microfiber nap bites fast to erase RIDS, swirls, and heavy haze.
• Stable, low-hop feel with balanced interface for consistent cut across contours.
• Efficient heat management when used with proper technique and pad cleaning.
• Predictable finishing path that sets up a quick follow-up with a medium/finishing foam pad.

Ideal Surfaces

• Automotive clear coat with moderate to severe defects.
• Not for matte/satin finishes (always spot test specialty paints).

Machine Compatibility

• Dual Action (random orbital) and Forced Rotation
• Rotary (experienced users only; manage heat and arm speed)

How To Use

1. Prep: Wash/decontaminate. If coating later, wipe panels with REVEAL Pre-Coat Surface Prep.
2. Prime & load: Thoroughly prime the microfiber face with compound, then add 3–4 pea-sized drops.
3. Cut a small section: Work ~2' × 2' (60 × 60 cm) with slow, overlapping passes and moderate pressure; lighten pressure for the last 1–2 passes.
4. Wipe & inspect: Remove residue with a clean microfiber; inspect under strong, focused lighting.
5. Keep fibers open: Clean on the fly frequently (pad brush or compressed air). Switch pads if saturated or matted.

Pairs Well With

• Heavy cut: BRUT Hypercut Correction Compound
• Refinement: CORSA Advanced Correction, Gran FINALE Jeweling Paste
• Panel prep: REVEAL Pre-Coat Surface Prep

Notes: Always perform a test spot and use the least aggressive combo that achieves your goal. Avoid dry buffing; keep the microfiber fluffed and cool for consistent performance.
