It's a polishing pad with a short-pile microfibre face on an open-cell thermo foam core with hook-and-loop backing, which cuts faster than a foam pad of the same aggressiveness while finishing finer at the same time. In the ZviZZer colour system it's the Orange. It's not meant for heavy correction of deep scratches, and not for show-car high gloss as a final step.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe ZviZZer Thermo Microfibre Polishing Pad (Orange)\u003c\/strong\u003e is a \u003cstrong\u003emicrofibre polishing pad\u003c\/strong\u003e from ZviZZer for one-step polishing. Thousands of short microfibres sit on an open-cell thermo foam core: the fibre tips bite abrasively and cut fast, while the thermo foam pulls the friction heat away and keeps the pad stable on the panel. So the microfibre cuts quickly and still finishes finer than foam of the same hardness, which is what makes the one-step process efficient. The hook-and-loop backing fits common backing plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrofibre cut and finish in one pass.\u003c\/strong\u003e The fibre tips cut faster than a foam pad of the same aggressiveness and leave a finer finish at the same time, so light to medium swirls and gloss build-up come together in 1 pass instead of 2. On hard clear coats this is the fastest way from hazy to clear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive sizes from 40 to 160 mm.\u003c\/strong\u003e With Ø 40 and 60 mm you work mirror caps, bumper edges and tight radii, and with Ø 130 and 160 mm you run the bonnet and doors through quickly. The microfibre working layer is 15 mm thick and sits flat on the thermo foam core.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLonger-lasting than a foam pad.\u003c\/strong\u003e The tough microfibre on the heat-resistant thermo foam holds up far longer on average than a comparable foam pad — dealers put it at 5 to 6 times. The trade-off: microfibre clogs faster and wants knocking out and washing more often.\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 microfibre-pad mistake is letting the pad clog up or run dry. Microfibre picks up spent product faster than foam, and a clogged pad just smears, stops building gloss and traps heat that puts the paint at risk. So knock the residue out on the spinning machine after every section, and never work dry. Day-to-day we keep two microfibre pads on the go and swap between them, rather than running one until it smears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrime the pad spread polish thin at low speed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet the microfibre polishing pad centred on the hook-and-loop backing plate, prime a fresh pad once with polish worked in thin, then spread a pea-sized amount at low speed before you work it out under medium pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt all assumes clean, washed and decontaminated paint. Work in sections of roughly 40 by 40 centimetres and keep the pad flat on the surface. By colour it's matched to the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-mc-3000-medium-cut-orange-one-step-politur\"\u003eMC 3000 one-step polish\u003c\/a\u003e, which it's designed to pair with as a one-step combo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnock the residue out after every section, because microfibre clogs faster than foam. Below 15 degrees paint temperature the thermo foam runs stiffer — in that case go a touch higher on speed rather than adding more polish, otherwise material backs up in the fibres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne-step on hard clear coat yes heavy correction no\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe microfibre pad is strongest in one-step work on hard clear coats — say on a German premium car — where it ties cut and finish into a single pass. On deep scratches you can clearly feel with a fingernail, it lacks the aggressive first bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts home turf is light to medium swirls and holograms on a well-kept daily driver, the kind a plain foam pad would need two steps for. Because the fibre finishes finer than foam of the same cutting power, on hard paint you often save yourself the separate finish pass. On very soft Japanese clear coats, though, the microfibre can lay down light holograms — drop a step softer there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limits are clear. If one-step efficiency is the goal, then microfibre. If you need maximum cut on heavy weathering, then a wool pad with a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/polierpads-schleifschwamme\"\u003ecutting compound\u003c\/a\u003e first. If a pure, flawless finish as the last step is what counts, then a soft foam-velour pad with a finishing polish. The microfibre pad is the fast all-rounder in between, not the extreme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the one-step detailer not the foam-pad purist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Thermo Microfibre Polishing Pad is the right call when you want a visibly better result on hard paint in sensible time and you'd rather get the job done in one step than two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less suited to two extremes: heavy correction of neglected paint, where a hard pad and a cutting compound are needed, and no-compromise concours work, where a soft finishing pad runs at the end. If you want to stay purely in the foam system, the colour-matched \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-thermo-allrounder-pad-medium-orange-thermo-schaumpad\"\u003eAllrounder foam pad in Orange\u003c\/a\u003e is the more forgiving standard — it cuts slower but doesn't clog as fast. If maximum one-step efficiency is what counts, then microfibre; if you want a forgiving foam, then the Allrounder pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the workflow the microfibre pad is the accelerator of one-step polishing. The one thing most people miss: they treat the microfibre pad like a foam sponge and then wonder why the gloss drops off halfway across the bonnet. Microfibre is a wash item — rinse it lukewarm after use, let it dry lying flat, and never rip a stuck pad off the backing dry. Keep it clean and you'll get more out of one pad than out of three you let clog up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZviZZer","offers":[{"title":"Ø 40\/15\/40 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867605475663,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-MF00004015HC","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 60\/15\/60 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867605508431,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-MF00006015HC","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 80\/15\/80 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867605541199,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-MF00008015HC","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 130\/15\/130 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867605573967,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-MF00013015HC","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 160\/15\/160 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867605606735,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-MF00016015HC","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 40\/15\/40 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882166362447,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-MF00004015HC_10","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 40\/15\/40 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882166395215,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-MF00004015HC_50","price":288.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 60\/15\/60 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882166427983,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-MF00006015HC_10","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 60\/15\/60 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882166460751,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-MF00006015HC_50","price":288.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 80\/15\/80 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882166493519,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-MF00008015HC_10","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 80\/15\/80 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882166526287,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-MF00008015HC_50","price":362.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 130\/15\/130 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882166559055,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-MF00013015HC_10","price":147.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 130\/15\/130 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882166591823,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-MF00013015HC_50","price":731.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 160\/15\/160 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882166624591,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-MF00016015HC_10","price":206.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 160\/15\/160 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882166657359,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-MF00016015HC_50","price":1026.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/zvizzer-thermo-microfiber-polierpad-orange-thermo-mikrofaserpad_40-15-40-mm.png?v=1780776513","url":"https:\/\/detailing1depot.com\/en\/products\/zvizzer-thermo-microfiber-polierpad-orange-thermo-mikrofaserpad","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
