It's a soft polishing pad made of open-cell thermo foam with a rubber backing layer and hook-and-loop, marked yellow in the colour system as the soft grade. It's built for finish polishing, cuts very little and builds gloss. Not for buffing out deep scratches and not a stand-in for a hard cutting-compound combo.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZviZZer Allrounder Pad Soft\u003c\/strong\u003e is a soft polishing pad from ZviZZer made of open-cell thermo foam, marked yellow in the five-step colour system and therefore the soft grade. 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. It runs on both dual-action and rotary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstant cut thanks to thermo foam.\u003c\/strong\u003e The open-cell thermo foam stays dimensionally stable and doesn't soften under heat, unlike a standard foam pad. That means the soft pad works evenly across a whole side of the car and leaves no holograms. According to ZviZZer, the tear-resistant foam lasts up to 6 times longer than a conventional pad.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRubber backing layer for a smooth run.\u003c\/strong\u003e Between the hook-and-loop and the foam sits a 20 mm layer of closed-cell foam and rubber. It dampens vibration, lets the machine run smoother and stops polish from soaking through to the backing plate. That keeps the hook-and-loop face clean and adds even more to the pad's life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive sizes from Ø 50 to 165 mm.\u003c\/strong\u003e The pad comes in five diameters for every backing plate and every spot. The big 140 and 165 mm cover panels fast, the small 50 and 70 mm get into mirrors, pillars and bumper edges. So you polish a whole car with one type of pad in one hardness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most common mistake with a soft finishing pad is the wrong polish to go with it. Pair a coarse cutting compound with the soft pad and you'll wonder why there's no correction and why the paint just smears. Pad hardness and polish grit have to match, and the yellow soft pad belongs with a fine finishing polish. Here in Nordhorn, on a soft Japanese clear coat, 3 pea-sized drops of FC 2000 on the soft pad got us a clean mirror where a harder pad still pulled holograms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePad hardness and polish have to match each other\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soft pad only gives up its cut with the right polish: soft pad plus a fine finishing polish gives you gloss, soft pad plus a coarse polish just gives you smear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDay-to-day, the yellow ZviZZer Allrounder Pad Soft is the partner to the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-fc-2000-fine-cut-gelb-finish-politur\"\u003eFC 2000 finishing polish\u003c\/a\u003e in the same yellow grade. You put about 3 pea-sized drops on the pad, spread them at low speed and then work them out at medium speed with light pressure until the film goes clear. Work in sections of about 40 by 40 centimetres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the pad clean: after two or three sections, knock out the polishing dust and swap the pad if you need to. A clogged pad smears and stops building gloss. Pick the right diameter to suit your backing plate and the spot — a second \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/polierpads-schleifschwamme\"\u003epolishing pad\u003c\/a\u003e in a small size is well worth it for tight edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFinish and gloss yes, heavy correction no\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soft pad is the soft grade for finishing and building gloss: it cuts very little and refines the surface rather than removing material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts home turf is the last step: pulling holograms and fine halos after a correction, working out depth and a mirror, smoothing a base for wax or coating. On soft paints like Japanese clear coats, which marr quickly under harder pads, it plays to its strength because it stays gentle and still builds gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limits are clear: when deep scratches or heavy swirls need to go, the soft pad is too soft — that's when a harder orange or red pad with a cutting compound belongs on the machine. If you want to finish down a touch finer, say on very dark soft paint, you reach for the even softer \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-thermo-allrounder-pad-ultra-soft-gruen-thermo-schaumpad\"\u003eUltra-Soft pad in green\u003c\/a\u003e. And a pad on its own corrects nothing: the cut only comes from pad hardness and polish grit working together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the finishing step, not the first cut\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ZviZZer Allrounder Pad Soft is the right call when you want to grab that last percent of gloss and depth after correction, without risking fresh marring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less suited to the first heavy pass on neglected paint, where you need to cut. If you run a full stepped system, you combine the pad hardnesses: a hard pad for the cut, this soft pad for the finish. Pick the sizes to suit the car and the spot, from the 165 mm for doors and bonnets down to the 50 mm for mirrors and swage lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne detail that decides the pad's life and that hardly anyone bothers with: wash the pad out after polishing, before the polish cures inside it. Cured polish residue gums up the open foam, and then it loses both grip and gloss. Let it air-dry, not in the sun. That way the tear-resistant thermo foam stays dimensionally stable for a long time and you really do get the six-fold lifespan out of it, instead of binning the pad after a few cars.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZviZZer","offers":[{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867589484879,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00005020FC","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867589517647,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00007020FC","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867589550415,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00009020FC","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867589583183,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00014020FC","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867589615951,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00016520FC","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882118029647,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00005020FC_10","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882118062415,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00005020FC_50","price":436.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882118095183,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00007020FC_10","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882118127951,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00007020FC_50","price":436.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882118160719,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00009020FC_10","price":102.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882118193487,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00009020FC_50","price":509.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882118226255,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00014020FC_10","price":191.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882118259023,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00014020FC_50","price":952.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882118291791,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00016520FC_10","price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882118324559,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00016520FC_50","price":1321.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/zvizzer-thermo-allrounder-pad-soft-gelb-thermo-schaumpad_50-20-35-mm.png?v=1780779407","url":"https:\/\/detailing1depot.com\/en\/products\/zvizzer-thermo-allrounder-pad-soft-gelb-thermo-schaumpad","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
