The ShineMate Flat pad, is the same foam found in the fantastic ShineMate 'Black Diamond' Red Finishing Pad but with a flat surface making it absolutely perfect for dual action polishers. The flat pad allows more surface contact, giving even faster correction with a dual action polisher. Just like the original Black Diamond series of pads, these are the most durable pads we've ever tested and offer outstanding performance on the longer throw machines that have the tendancy to quickly destroy some inferior pads.
The ShineMate 'Black Diamond' Red T10 foam has very light cleaning action for removal of ultra-fine swirl marks, car wash scratches, and hazing, leaving a swirl-free gloss finish when used in conjunction with finishing polishes. This pad is perfect for the application of glazes to leave a very gloss deep shine finish.
Why ShineMate Black Diamond Pads?
The ShineMate Black Diamond pads are a revolutionary new patent pending series of polishing pads developed for use with both a rotary and DA polisher. The ShineMate Black Diamond Series pads offer a number of unique features to create possibly the perfect polishing pads. The most notable feature is the diamond face, designed to reduce heat build and polish splatter. The diamond face reduces the surface friction keeping the surface cooler and more controlable.
The Black Diamond pads also have a angled edge design, so it's possible to polish extremely accurately to the edges of panels. The other benefit of this design is it creates edge to edge backing of the velcro, which aids in centering the pad and on dual action polishers reduces the chance of pad failiure. The pads also feature a centre hole designed to reduce heat build up which can lead to premature failure of the pad. In summary, these pads were developed from the ground up to be the most effective on the market.
