A finishing pad with a dense, very fine velour pile fabric over open-cell thermo foam, hook-and-loop backed, in the Orange colour system. It builds deep, even gloss and barely cuts any material at all. Not for removing scratches or swirls, and not for heavy correction on neglected paint.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZviZZer Thermo Velour Pad\u003c\/strong\u003e is a velour polishing pad from ZviZZer for the finishing step, listed as Orange in the colour system. Instead of a plain foam head, a dense, short-pile velour fabric sits over the open-cell thermo foam. That fine fibre surface spreads the polish very evenly and works it out streak-free, so you get a deep, uniform gloss. Self-cut is low, so the velour pad refines rather than removes material. It runs on hook-and-loop on a matching backing plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVelour for an even, hologram-free finish.\u003c\/strong\u003e The dense, very fine pile fabric spreads the finishing polish across the whole panel and works it out streak-free at about 1,500 rpm. That way the velour pad pulls out the last 5 to 10 percent of depth without setting the fine holograms a too-grabby foam pad leaves on soft paint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive sizes from 40 to 160 mm.\u003c\/strong\u003e The pad comes in 5 diameters: Ø 40, 60, 80, 130 and 160 mm, 1 piece each. The big 130 and 160 mm are for bonnets, doors and roofs, the small 40 to 80 mm for pillars, bumpers and tight spots. A 15 mm build height keeps the pad flat and easy to control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow self-cut, lots of gloss.\u003c\/strong\u003e The velour pad is a pure finishing and sealing pad with nearly 0 mm self-cut. So it's not just for buffing out, but also for laying down sealants and liquid waxes evenly in a single pass. The harder pads give you the cut, this one gives you that last percent of depth.\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 velour pad is treating it like a foam pad and running it with loads of product and high speed. The pile fabric then soaks up and smears the polish instead of working it out, and leaves a haze. Little product, medium speed, light pressure. On a dark Audi A4 with 2026 paint we used the velour pad after polishing to even out the gloss where the grabbier pad still left fine streaks sitting in the reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLittle product, medium speed, work it out streak-free\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou bring in the velour pad after the actual polishing step: a little finishing polish on the dry pile fabric, spread it at medium speed and work it out with light pressure until the film goes clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDay-to-day, the orange ZviZZer velour pad is the partner of a fine finishing polish like the green \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-uc-1000-ultrafine-cut-gruen-finish-politur\"\u003eUC 1000 Ultrafine Cut\u003c\/a\u003e. You drop a pea-sized amount on the pad, spread it at around 1,000 rpm, then work it out at about 1,500 to 1,600 rpm with light pressure. The velour lays the polish down evenly and finishes it streak-free. To lay down a sealant, you go one notch slower again and with less pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the pile fabric clean: knock the pad out after two or three sections, a clogged velour won't take any more polish and just smears. Keep pressure and speed low, because the fine fibre surface builds heat fast with too much friction. The coarse groundwork is handled by the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/polierpads-schleifschwamme\"\u003epolishing pads\u003c\/a\u003e with foam or wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDeep gloss yes, removing scratches no\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe velour pad builds gloss and evens out the finish, but it corrects nothing: it lacks the cut for removing scratches, swirls and holograms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts home turf is the last step of a detail: paint that's already polished and needs maximum depth and an even, hologram-free gloss. That's exactly where the dense velour shines. Laying down sealants, glazes and liquid waxes also goes more evenly with it than by hand, because the pile fabric spreads the product thin and streak-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limits are clear. If the paint has swirls or dull patches, a correction step belongs before it: for the cut you grab a grabby \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/zvizzer-thermo-nano-wool-pad-orange-thermo-wollpad\"\u003eNano Wool Pad\u003c\/a\u003e or a foam pad with cutting polish, and only then does the velour pad come in for the finish. If you're after cut, wool or foam is right. If you're after deep gloss, velour is right. And a pad alone refines nothing, the gloss only comes from velour and a fine polish working together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the finish, not for correction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ZviZZer velour pad is the right call when, after polishing, the last percent of depth and an even gloss across the whole panel are missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's less suited as the only pad for a whole detail, because with no real cut it corrects no defects. It's the finishing partner of the grabbier pads, not their replacement. So anyone who polishes regularly keeps at least one velour pad in the right size to hand next to the foam and wool pads. Because it cuts so little, it spares the thin clear coat, which loses a few microns with every polishing pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne detail that decides how long it lasts and that most people overlook: wash the pile fabric out before the polish hardens in it, and let it air-dry lying flat, not in the sun. Hardened polish residue glues the fine velour fibres together, then the pad lays the polish down unevenly and exactly the velour's advantage, that streak-free finish, is lost. Kept clean, the fibre surface stays soft over many details.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZviZZer","offers":[{"title":"Ø 40\/15\/40 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867605049679,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-VW00004015HC","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 60\/15\/60 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867605082447,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-VW00006015HC","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 80\/15\/80 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867605115215,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-VW00008015HC","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 130\/15\/130 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867605147983,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-VW00013015HC","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 160\/15\/160 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867605180751,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-VW00016015HC","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 40\/15\/40 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882172686671,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-VW00004015HC_10","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 40\/15\/40 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882172719439,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-VW00004015HC_50","price":362.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 60\/15\/60 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882172752207,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-VW00006015HC_10","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 60\/15\/60 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882172784975,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-VW00006015HC_50","price":362.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 80\/15\/80 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882172817743,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-VW00008015HC_10","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 80\/15\/80 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882172850511,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-VW00008015HC_50","price":436.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 130\/15\/130 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882172883279,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-VW00013015HC_10","price":176.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 130\/15\/130 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882172916047,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-VW00013015HC_50","price":878.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 160\/15\/160 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882172948815,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-VW00016015HC_10","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 160\/15\/160 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882172981583,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-VW00016015HC_50","price":1247.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/zvizzer-thermo-velour-pad-orange-thermo-velourspad_40-15-40-mm.png?v=1780776493","url":"https:\/\/detailing1depot.com\/en\/products\/zvizzer-thermo-velour-pad-orange-thermo-velourspad","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
