Pro Pads: Renegade Pro Red-Infused Polishing Pads
Renegade Pro Pads were developed with the input of polishing professionals looking for a more aggressive cut than Renegade Red Liquid Metal Polish while also offering a more convenient user experience for our everyday customers.
Our Pro Pads consolidate and combine a few of those steps by offering you 10 Prep Pads that come pre-saturated in Pro Red Liquid Metal Polish. These pads are effective for both application and agitation purposes. Once you have attained a satisfactory polish, simply remove the excess polish and buff the work piece appropriately with a clean microfiber towel, and that's it--a tub and towel are all you really need.
Traditionally, Pro Red Liquid Metal Polish would be stored in its bottle, applied onto a terry cloth towel or applicator pad, applied to the work surface with the applicator of choice, and cleaned off with a microfiber towel. What Pro Pads aim to do is to combine and consolidate a few of those steps in a convenient package.
Polished metal features tend to take a beating from the elements, road debris, and other outside factors. Without proper care, you can end up with hazy, oxidized metal that may rust or weaken over time. With Renegade Pro Pads, it's very easy to achieve that care, as it helps to neutralize oxidation and mineral buildup on your aluminum and stainless steel surfaces. It will give great results that can only be beat with a buffing wheel and polishing compound.
How to use Renegade Pro Pads:
To maximize results, make sure that the surface to be polished has been properly and thoroughly cleaned and dried. If there are stains or build up of any kind, use our Renegade Savage APC (All-Purpose Cleaner) to prepare the surface.
Step 1
Remove the Pro Pad and apply the saturated pad to your work surface.
Proper usage dictates that you should first apply in a circular motion to more effectively break up the oxidation and impurities until the polish and work surface begin to darken, then "finish" in linear motions for a more consistent finish.
Let dry for about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Use a clean microfiber towel to remove the excess polish and to buff the surface to a brilliant shine. This should be done in the same linear direction used when polishing.
Pro tip:
Pro Pads can be re-used and stored in their original container. Pro Pads can be used until the pad material begins to break down, at which point it should be discarded.

HEAVY CUT WITHOUT THE BOTTLE
Open the tub and start correcting the metal
Traditional liquid polishing means carrying a bottle, loading an applicator and managing excess product. Pro Pads consolidate those steps with 10 pads pre-saturated in Pro Red Heavy Cut Metal Polish—ready for application and agitation straight from the tub.

Questions about Pro Red-Infused Pro Pads
Quick answers about cut, reuse, storage and application.
What are Renegade Pro Pads?
Pro Pads are reusable polishing pads pre-saturated with Renegade Pro Red Heavy Cut Metal Polish. They combine the polish applicator and agitation step in a portable tub.
How many Pro Pads come in one tub?
Each tub contains 10 pre-saturated Pro Pads. The product is also available in multipacks and bundles with other Renegade infused polishing pads.
What metals can I use Pro Pads on?
Use Pro Pads on aluminum and stainless steel surfaces such as wheels, fuel tanks, diamond plate and exterior trim. Test an inconspicuous area first if the metal, coating or finish is uncertain.
Do Pro Pads remove oxidation?
Pro Pads deliver the aggressive cut of Pro Red and help neutralize oxidation and mineral buildup. Severely damaged metal may still require a buffing wheel and polishing compound.
How do I use a Pro Pad?
Clean and dry the metal, then work the saturated pad in circular motions until the polish and surface darken. Finish with linear motions, allow about three minutes of drying time, and buff off the residue with a clean microfiber towel.
