Thanks to these changes our new polishing pads now also work really well with DA polishers. That makes them a real innovation for the detailing market. More longevity at the same handling delivers a whole new experience with our polishing pads — not something to miss. For maximum process reliability we're sticking with the colour coding on the pads, so you can match pad to polish at a glance. That saves time and is a real help in the everyday grind of detailing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Micro Cut Soft Foam Pad \"Violett\" (Soft) — Polishing Pad (2024)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKoch-Chemie Micro Cut Soft Foam Pad \"Violett\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is built for gently working sensitive and tricky paints, like Sticky Paint.

A barely damp pad takes up polish more evenly and stops dry foam from drinking the polish straight away, before it can work on the paint. Always start the polisher on the paint — never in the air — to keep polish spatter off the bodywork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSoft foam for paint finishing — how the fine-pored pad technology works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot all polyurethane foam is the same. What hard and soft actually mean on a polishing pad comes down to pore size, cell structure and the Shore hardness of the foam. The \u003cstrong\u003eSchaumPad soft\u003c\/strong\u003e uses an open-cell foam structure with small, evenly spread pores — noticeably finer than the SchaumPad hard, which runs coarser cells and so generates more shear. That finer structure feeds straight into the result: polish isn't dumped in patches, it's laid down evenly across the whole working area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother plus is the cushioning. When you machine-polish, the pad acts as a buffer between the backing plate and the paint. Soft foam absorbs the orbits of the dual-action movement more — the pad doesn't sit rigid on the surface, it \"follows\" gentle contours, edges and curves better than a hard counterpart. On bumpers, door edges or mirrors that means even pressure without over-working the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt connects to the backing plate through a hook-and-loop-compatible back that fits common SONAX PROFILINE backing plates and support plates. The 75 mm diameter suits smaller backing plates and is a great match for precision work on small areas like A-pillars, fuel-cap surrounds or door shuts. The 160 mm version is the standard reach for big body panels like the bonnet, roof and doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn often underrated angle is heat behaviour. Soft foam has more internal surface area and can spread heat through the pad volume better than compact materials. In fast passes with a high orbit frequency, friction heat builds at the contact patch between paint and pad. A soft pad releases that heat more evenly instead of concentrating it. That's why on sensitive solid colours, or when you're working in summer, soft foam is often the safer call over a medium pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the SchaumPad soft right — the workflow from first touch to a hologram-free finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe key step before the actual polishing is priming. Put a hazelnut-sized dab of finish polish on the SchaumPad soft sitting centred on the backing plate and spread it roughly by hand over an area about A4 size. Then start the polisher on speed 1 and work the polish over the panel with no pressure, before you raise speed and contact pressure. That first pass \"saturates\" the pad and makes sure it no longer soaks polish into its pores — from then on it releases it evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor finish polishes like the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ex-04-06-hochglanz-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE EX \"04-06\" high-gloss polish\u003c\/a\u003e or the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-np-03-06-hochglanz-politur-finish\"\u003eNP \"03-06\" high-gloss polish\u003c\/a\u003e, a speed range of 3–4 on the typical dual-action polisher works well. Higher speeds do bring more heat and a touch more cut, but they also raise the risk of holograms on darker-tinted paint. Rule of thumb: slow and several times beats fast and once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SchaumPad soft also earns its place as the last step after a multi-stage correction. If you've worked earlier with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-schaumpad-hart-polierpad\"\u003eSchaumPad hard\u003c\/a\u003e or the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-lammwollpad-wollpad\"\u003eLammwollPad\u003c\/a\u003e, the final pass with the soft pad and a pure finish polish clears every last sanding mark from the previous stage. That \"finishing run\" is standard in professional detailing outfits and is often the difference between a middling and a flawless result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter polishing, clean the pad straight away. Polish residue dries hard in the foam and permanently changes the pad structure. Wash it in warm water with a mild specialist pad cleaner and you'll keep the soft foam's pores intact for the long run. Best to clean it in hand-warm water with a light squeeze — no wringing, that damages the open-cell structure. Dry the pad flat on a clean towel, never in the sun or on a radiator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHologram-free finish polishing — where the SchaumPad soft fits and where it doesn't\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SchaumPad soft's strong suit is clearly the finish stage. On paint in near-new condition with only light transport scratches or surface wash marks, you can run it straight with a finish polish, no prior cut stage. That saves time, is kinder to the paint and is plenty for most cars that get detailed at regular intervals and carry no deep paint damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SchaumPad soft is especially convincing on metallics and pearl-effect paint. These paint types, with their embedded metallic or mica flakes, are more prone to the stray-light effects that too-aggressive polishing can cause. The low shear of the soft pad keeps the effect flakes aligned, so the look after polishing matches the original state. Anyone who's ever lost a metallic to a grey haze after too aggressive a pass knows why this trait matters so much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the same time there are honest limits: deeper ingrained scratches, oxidation damage or wet-sanding marks from P1500 grit and coarser won't fully come out with the SchaumPad soft. Here you need a cut stage first — either with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-schaumpad-medium-polierpad\"\u003eSchaumPad medium\u003c\/a\u003e and a cutting polish, or with the SchaumPad hard or LammwollPad on heavy oxidation. The SchaumPad soft then takes over as the last stage and clears the micro-marks left by the earlier work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother use a lot of people underrate: prep for ceramic coatings. Before a coating goes on, the paint has to be absolutely mark-free — no hologram, no swirl. With the SchaumPad soft and an IPA-compatible finish polish you can hit a final surface where the ceramic layer bonds exactly and can deliver its full protection. This prep finishing pass is standard in pro coating outfits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn fresh respray work, take extra care. Fresh paint hasn't fully cured in the first few weeks and reacts more sensitively to heat and mechanical pressure. The SchaumPad soft is the safest choice here because it puts in the least energy — even so, on resprays under 30 days old skip machine polishing altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe SchaumPad soft compared — when each pad is the right call\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX PROFILINE pad system is graded consistently by cut and works hand in hand with the matching polishes. The SchaumPad soft sits at the bottom of the cut curve — combined with the SchaumPad medium and the SchaumPad hard you get a full correction system that has a fitting combo for just about any paint condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-schaumpad-medium-polierpad\"\u003eSchaumPad medium\u003c\/a\u003e is the all-rounder for mid-level correction: it reliably clears wash marks, light swirls and old polishing marks, but on dark paint it still leaves the odd fine mark that the soft pad then cleans up. Medium followed by soft is the most efficient route for the bulk of professional details — two steps instead of three, and still a perfect result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SchaumPad hard is built for heavy-cut work — oxidation, deep wet-sanding, badly weathered paint. It runs higher pressure on a smaller effective contact patch and so puts down markedly more cut. On fresh or sensitive paint it's the wrong tool. Once you've worked with the SchaumPad hard, you usually step down through the SchaumPad medium as an in-between stage to the SchaumPad soft to reach a fully hologram-free result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-lammwollpad-wollpad\"\u003eLammwollPad\u003c\/a\u003e is its own category: lambswool fibres, by their natural structure, generate very high cut that differs from a hard foam pad's. They work more aggressively but also hotter — and typically leave more polishing marks that then have to be polished out with the SchaumPad soft. The LammwollPad is ideal for extreme correction and for pros who want to save time; the SchaumPad soft is its perfect finishing partner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-exzenterpad-weich-125-polierpad\"\u003eExzenterPad soft 125\u003c\/a\u003e — another soft pad in the PROFILINE system — there's one relevant difference: the ExzenterPad soft is laid out for the 125 mm diameter and optimised for specific dual-action machine plates. The SchaumPad soft comes in 75 mm and 160 mm, covering both extremes of the pad spectrum: precision work on small areas and fast work on big body panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying the SchaumPad soft — who it pays off for and in which workflows\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SchaumPad soft pays off for anyone who wants to machine-polish at a professional quality level — whether you work commercially or as a committed hobby detailer. Beginners gain from the fact that the soft pad minimises the risk of mistakes: if you work with too much pressure or too high a speed, you'll cause damage far less often with the SchaumPad soft than with a more aggressive pad. That also makes it the first pad for anyone just starting to learn machine polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional detailers value the SchaumPad soft as the last step in every multi-stage workflow. Whether after a heavy-cut pass with the SchaumPad hard, after a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-perfectfinish-finish-politur\"\u003ePerfectFinish polish\u003c\/a\u003e on a mid setting, or as the final quality check before sealing — the soft pad is the one that defines the finished result. No other pad in the SONAX PROFILINE system produces such an evenly smooth, hologram-free surface in a single step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePick the size to match the polisher you own. The 75 mm version is ideal for spot correction and tight areas — it fits smaller backing plates and lets you work precisely where a 160 mm pad can't be guided under control. The 160 mm version is the panel worker: bonnet, roof, sides — this is where it plays its productivity card. A well-kitted setup has both sizes on hand and reaches for each depending on the task.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a direct add-on, the high-grade finish polishes from the SONAX PROFILINE range make sense. The EX \"04-06\" high-gloss polish is the classic pairing pick: little to no cut, maximum gloss and gloss obsession. For paint that still carries light fine marks after a hard-cut pass, the NP \"03-06\" high-gloss polish is the sharper choice — it brings a touch more cut and works the leftover marks from the earlier stage out more surely. Both polishes are built for the SchaumPad soft and deliver the best result as a team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLook after your SchaumPad soft and it'll look after you for a long time. A carefully cleaned and air-dried pad keeps its pore structure over many uses — and with it its signature ability to release polish evenly and pull heat away in a controlled way. Pros clean their pads right after each car, store them flat in a closed container and keep used pads apart from new ones to avoid cross-contamination with polish residue. These simple habits double the effective lifespan and lock in consistent polishing results the whole way through.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"Ø75 mm","offer_id":57345170178383,"sku":"D1-SNX-4926000","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø160 mm","offer_id":57345170211151,"sku":"D1-SNX-4932410","price":10.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-schaumpad-weich_160-mm.png?v=1774736676"},{"product_id":"zvizzer-thermo-trapez-pad-soft-gelb-thermo-schaumpad","title":"Thermo Trapez Pad \"Soft\" thermo foam pad (Yellow)","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eRemove holograms and build high gloss instead of heavy cutting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the ZviZZer Thermo Trapez Pad Soft?

A soft pad under a coarse compound costs you correction; a hard pad under a finishing polish puts new holograms in. The colour is the system: yellow Soft pad with the yellow Fine Cut polish.

Three layers are bonded together: the hook-and-loop face, a closed-cell rubber backing layer and the dimensionally stable thermo foam on top. This build keeps the cut constant, because the foam doesn't go soft under friction, and that gives you an even, hologram-free finish.

Otherwise factory residue in the fresh foam spreads through the first layer and leaves a fine haze on exactly the dark paint the Ultra Soft pad is meant to make shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"ZviZZer","offers":[{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867589648719,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00005020UC","price":5.83,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867589681487,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00007020UC","price":6.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867589714255,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00009020UC","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867589747023,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00014020UC","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 1 piece","offer_id":57867589779791,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00016520UC","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57881920667983,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00009020UC_10","price":59.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57881920700751,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00009020UC_50","price":299.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57881932923215,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00005020UC_10","price":58.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57881932955983,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00005020UC_50","price":291.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57881932988751,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00007020UC_10","price":66.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57881933021519,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00007020UC_50","price":334.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57881933054287,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00014020UC_10","price":129.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57881933087055,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00014020UC_50","price":649.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 10 pieces","offer_id":57881933119823,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00016520UC_10","price":169.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 50 pieces","offer_id":57881933152591,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00016520UC_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-ultra-soft-gruen-thermo-schaumpad_50-20-35-mm.png?v=1780779681"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.nl\/en\/collections\/kleine-pads-finishing-pads-aus-schaumstoff.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
