The Mushroom Polish Pad is the ideal tool for polishing grooves and other hard to reach areas. The cotton threads are so fine, it can be spun as low as 1,500 RPM.
The yellow polishing pad should be used first to gently but effectively cut through the oxidation and haze--to be followed up with the white finishing pad to refine and elevate your finish.
*Prior to starting your drill or machine, it is important to insert the loaded bit into the wheel/project surface as shown below. this will help to minimize slinging and the deformation of the bit at high speeds that may cause it to blow apart.*
Pro Tips:
- Lower RPM for polishing — prevents heat buildup, swirl marks, or burning softer metals like aluminum.
- Higher RPM for cutting — works well for initial scratch removal or blending.
- Always check the manufacturer’s max RPM rating — exceeding it can cause the pad to tear apart.
- If you’re using compounds, slower speeds often give better results for final shine.
