For the vast majority of correction jobs the answer sits somewhere in the middle — and that middle is exactly where the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE SchaumPad medium\u003c\/strong\u003e lives. A medium foam pad gives you enough cut to clear normal holograms, fine wash-tunnel scratches and light oxidation, without being so aggressive that the marks left behind force a fussy follow-up step. The SchaumPad medium is the pad that, in 70–80% of all vehicle corrections, does the whole job as the only cutting pad.

On easy panels with light contamination and a modern, easy-to-polish clearcoat, you often don't even need a finish step after the SchaumPad medium — straight to the sealant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorks on both rotary and dual-action polishers.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ø75 mm pad is sized for the smaller backing plate on rotary polishers; the Ø150 mm pad for standard DA machines. That split lets you carry the same idea — medium foam structure for balanced cut\/finish — across both machine types. On the rotary the medium pad delivers a touch more cut thanks to the higher rotational energy; on the DA it's the safer bet for beginners, since the random orbit keeps overheating risks down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAn economical all-rounder for shops with a mixed vehicle spread.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not every car needs a hard cutting pad, and not every car gets by on a pure finishing pad. Keeping a medium pad as your default cuts the complexity: for new cars with no serious defects the SchaumPad medium is the only pad you need; for cars with light to medium defects it's your primary cutting pad; only for badly hammered paint do you step up to the SchaumPad hart or the HybridWollPad. That tiered setup saves you pad-swapping time day to day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e The SchaumPad medium is brilliant for a one-step approach on modern cars: with a cut-and-finish polish (like the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-cut-finish-einstufen-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Cut+Finish \"5\/5\" one-step polish\u003c\/a\u003e) on the SchaumPad medium you combine cut and finish in a single pass — that saves time over the two-stage process and gets very good results on modern soft clearcoats. This approach works especially well on cars from the last 10 years in good factory condition with normal wear. For badly damaged paint or cars with deep sanding marks, the multi-stage process with a SchaumPad hart for the first cutting pass stays the more reliable way to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSchaumPad medium foam structure — medium cell matrix and polishing behaviour\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe foam density of the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE SchaumPad medium\u003c\/strong\u003e sits between the SchaumPad hart and the SchaumPad weich: a medium-open cell structure that offers enough resistance to drive the abrasives in a cutting polish onto the paint with effective cutting energy, while flexing enough to sit evenly over contoured areas like fender curves and door panels. That balance between stiffness and give is exactly what makes the medium pad the most versatile polishing pad in the whole PROFILINE range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cell matrix of the SchaumPad medium is built to release polish evenly out of the foam onto the polishing face — an effect foam-pad techs call the \"reservoir effect\": the foam soaks up polish on the first application and keeps feeding it outward as you work. That gives you more even polish spread across the whole panel than if the polish just sat on the pad surface. It shows most on larger panels like bonnets and roofs: the cut stays more constant across the full pass than with a fully closed-cell hard pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rebound hardness — how quickly the foam springs back into shape after being compressed — is tuned on the SchaumPad medium for medium machine frequencies. That makes it compatible with both rotary polishers (steady rotation) and DA machines (random orbit), without working noticeably worse on either. This machine-agnostic behaviour is a real practical plus in shops running different machine types where you don't want to sort pads by machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth doing in practice: dampen a new SchaumPad medium before its first use and \"prime\" it once — the first few seconds on the first panel condition the foam, and after that the pad works at its full level. This short break-in lets the foam core take up polish evenly so the reservoir effect works from the start. An unconditioned new pad soaks up polish in the first passes without giving enough back to the paint — the result is an uneven first panel that doesn't give you a realistic read on the pad-polish combo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing that often gets underrated with medium pads: the effective cut of a SchaumPad medium leans heavily on the cutting strength of the polish you run. With a heavy-cut polish like the CutMax \"6\/4\", the SchaumPad medium delivers surprisingly a lot of cut — enough for plenty of medium-tough corrections without having to switch to the aggressive SchaumPad hart. With a lighter finishing polish the cut drops accordingly to finish level. So through your polish choice you have direct control over the effective cut\/finish ratio — a flexibility a hard or soft pad simply doesn't give you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing the SchaumPad medium — polish choice, machine technique and pad care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most versatile combo for the SchaumPad medium in the PROFILINE system is the medium pad with a one-step polish like the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-cut-finish-einstufen-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Cut+Finish \"5\/5\"\u003c\/a\u003e — that pairing covers the broad middle of correction jobs. For cars with heavier defects, run the SchaumPad medium with the CutMax \"6\/4\" as your first step, then a SchaumPad weich with a finishing polish for the final gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMachine choice and speed: on the rotary the SchaumPad medium works best at 900–1,200 rpm — enough rotational energy for effective cut without excess heat build-up. On the DA polisher the middle power setting (setting 3–4) is the right call to keep the medium foam in its sweet spot. Too low a speed and it starts to \"smear\" — the polish gets spread around but doesn't turn into effective cut. Too high a speed on the rotary generates more friction heat than normal clearcoat wants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePolish dosing on the SchaumPad medium: the 5-dot pattern (centre plus four edge dots) is the standard method for even spread. Key point: don't lay on too much polish — an oversaturated pad smears instead of cutting. Rule of thumb: start light and add if you need to, rather than starting with too much and having to wipe the panel down several times. A well-conditioned SchaumPad medium leaves an even residue film on the working area after polishing — no excess, no dry patch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePad care after the job: clean the SchaumPad medium after every car with a pad spinner or a pad washer, not just at the end of the whole working day. Dried-in polish in the open cell structure changes the rebound properties and cuts the reservoir effect. A daily soak in lukewarm water with a mild cleaner, a gentle squeeze and flat drying keeps the pad's properties over many jobs. Cared for properly, medium-density foam pads last 80–120 cars before they need replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the SchaumPad medium fits — vehicle types, paint condition and polishing scenarios\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SchaumPad medium is the right pad for: cars from the last 5–10 years with normal wear (holograms from washing, dust scratches), lightly weathered paint on cars that have gone 3–5 years without a polish, new-car preps with light transport damage, and one-step corrections on cars where time efficiency matters (dealer intake prep, mobile work at the customer's place).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SchaumPad medium is less suited to: cars with deep sanding marks from coarse sandpaper (P800 or finer), heavily oxidised paint with a matte, chalky-white surface, and cars where you need to remove the clear cutting marks of a coarse machine sanding step. In those cases you first need the SchaumPad hart or the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-hybridwollpad-wollpad\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE HybridWollPad\u003c\/a\u003e for the first cutting pass — the medium pad then steps in as the second stage to clear the marks left by the heavy cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne particularly worthwhile niche for the SchaumPad medium: headlight restoration. Yellowed or clouded polycarbonate headlight lenses can be cleared up with the SchaumPad medium and a suitable headlight polish in just a few passes. The medium pad works off the clouded polycarbonate effectively without being so aggressive it cuts deep scratches into the clearcoat-like lens material. For headlight work the small Ø75 mm pad (rotary format) or a separate mini pad is handy for getting into the flat headlight geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a professional setup the SchaumPad medium is worth stocking in numbers: at least 3–5 pads per size for a full working day with car changeovers. The \"one pad per car with daily cleaning\" strategy makes more sense for medium pads than for hard pads, since the medium pad fully keeps its properties with proper daily cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSchaumPad medium in comparison — where it sits in the PROFILINE polishing pad system\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the PROFILINE polishing pad line-up the SchaumPad medium takes the central spot: the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-schaumpad-hart-polierpad\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE SchaumPad hart\u003c\/a\u003e (and the HybridWollPad) stand for maximum cut where a lot of removal is needed; the SchaumPad medium for the broad middle of all correction scenarios; the SchaumPad weich for finishing polishes on already well-corrected paint with no real removal left to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe direct comparison with the SchaumPad hart makes the practical differences clear: at the same pressure and machine speed the hard pad removes roughly 30–40% more than the medium pad — a difference that shows up clearly when you polish under strip lighting. That extra cut is the deciding factor on badly damaged paint — on normal wear it just means more marks left in the paint that call for an extra finishing pass. In those cases the medium pad is the more efficient choice: one pass is often enough to both clear the defects and land a good finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBetween the SchaumPad medium and the SchaumPad weich the difference is mainly one of strategy: the soft pad is purely for the final finishing phase after a cutting pass, or for delicate paint that needs very little cut — without a prior cutting pass a soft pad won't fully clear holograms. The medium pad, on the other hand, can act as both a cutting and a finishing pad in most cases, depending on your polish choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy the SONAX PROFILINE SchaumPad medium — sizes, job planning and pro portfolio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor most correction shops the SchaumPad medium is the highest-turnover pad in the range — because it's the first choice for most cars and jobs. The Ø150 mm format for DA machines is the standard working size in modern detailing shops that mostly run dual-action polishers. The Ø75 mm format is for shops with rotary polishers and for special detail jobs like headlight restoration and tight areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor stock planning: per working day with 3–5 cars you want at least 6–10 SchaumPad medium on hand, so there's always a fresh or cleaned pad ready. Rotating several pads at once — one polishing, another spinning clean in the pad spinner — keeps you flowing without waiting your way through the whole car list. For shops that run the medium pad daily, a stock of 10–15 pads per size is the smart move — that covers the demand for several weeks even with individual pads wearing out, no reorder needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe SchaumPad medium in the PROFILINE system is always meant as part of a complete polishing pad portfolio: paired with the SchaumPad hart for heavy heavy-cut jobs and the SchaumPad weich for the final high-gloss finish, you get a complete, clearly tiered three-stage polishing system that has the right answer for every paint condition and job — from the badly damaged used car to the near-new vehicle with minimal wear.

A fresh PROFILINE ExzenterPad medium drinks up more polish on the first pass; only on the second pass does it show its full cutting power. After every panel, blow the pad out with a pad brush or a pad cleaner to clear polish residue — that stretches the pad's life by a lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOpen-cell foam and medium cut — how the ExzenterPad medium works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pad you pick decides how much time and how many passes a correction takes. Too soft a pad doesn't build enough pressure to pull scratches out of the clear coat; too hard a pad leaves a faint hologram pattern behind that you then have to chase off with a finishing pad in another pass. Understanding pad mechanics saves you real time and abrasive day-to-day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA raw foam blank and a finished pad are not the same thing. What looks at first glance like a simple piece of foam is the result of a deliberate material choice: pore size, foam hardness and cell structure together decide how much abrasive the pad takes up, how it releases it, and how fast it heats up. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE ExzenterPad medium\u003c\/strong\u003e uses an open-cell polyurethane foam of medium hardness. The open cell build means polish spreads evenly through the pad and meters out onto the paint — a steady supply that stops the pad running dry and keeps the abrasive working consistently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA pad's cut comes from how foam hardness, surface texture and pore structure play together. Soft pads compress a lot, have more contact with the paint but less pressure per point — ideal for finishing. Hard pads barely compress, build high local pressure and therefore more cut. The medium pad sits in between: it compresses in a controlled way, builds pressure steadily, and still spreads polish evenly. In practice that means you can clear swirls and holograms in one or two passes with the ExzenterPad medium without necessarily needing a separate finishing pass afterwards — as long as you match the right polish to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing between Ø125 and Ø150 mm depends on the working area and the machine. Ø125 mm is the standard size for DA orbitals with a 5 mm throw and works on every body section. Ø150 mm lets you cover more ground on large, flat panels like the bonnet or roof, but it needs a machine with the power headroom to back it. If you run both sizes, you can switch deliberately between detail work and large-area polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hook-and-loop backing on the pad is made for standard backing plates. The Velcro quality on the PROFILINE line holds reliably even through several hours of continuous use — the pad sits tight, doesn't spin out, and won't peel off on its own even on a damp, greasy surface. With cheaper pads that's one of the most common headaches day-to-day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing a DA polishing pad right — step by step with the ExzenterPad medium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore your first polishing pass, a quick paint check pays off. Heavily soiled paint should be decontaminated before polishing — an iron remover binds fallout, and a clay bar product pulls off bonded contamination that would otherwise act as grinding grit during polishing. On clean, decontaminated paint the ExzenterPad medium works more efficiently: the abrasive particles in the polish bite straight into the clear coat instead of burning energy loosening surface dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDA orbitals work with a combined rotation-and-orbital motion — that makes them more forgiving than rotaries and easier to get into for beginners, but you still need the right technique. Your speed setting drives how much cut the ExzenterPad medium actually develops. For medium correction work, a speed between 4,000 and 5,500 revolutions per minute is the sweet spot. Lower speeds cut heat build-up but give less bite; higher speeds speed up the correction but raise the risk of heat spots on repeated overlaps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlways pick a test panel first — ideally a low-key spot on the car, like the lower door area or a less exposed corner of the roof. Lay the polish straight onto the pad, not onto the paint. Start at low speed and spread the polish across the panel without leaning in, then bring the speed up for the actual correction pass. Overlapping passes of 30–40 % give an even result without streaks. Two to three passes are usually enough for moderate swirls; deeper scratches call for extra passes or a switch to the ExzenterPad hart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the pass, the residue pattern of the polish becomes your indicator: when the abrasive film has broken down evenly and is almost fully worked in, the pad has done its job. Clumpy or uneven residue points to too much polish or too low a speed. The PROFILINE ExzenterPad medium cleans up after use with warm water and pad wash, and is reusable once dry. Pros recommend sorting pads by polish type and never switching between abrasive and finishing products on the same pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCorrecting paint defects — when the ExzenterPad medium is the right call\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePaint care isn't only about looks — it's about holding value. A car with corrected, sealed paint scores measurably better at lease return or resale than one with untouched wear marks. Polishing with a DA orbital and the ExzenterPad medium is, for high-mileage drivers and fleets, an investment that pays back at the next valuation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ExzenterPad medium is the all-rounder in the polishing-pad line-up — it covers the zone you reach for most often in day-to-day detailing. Cars with normal wear that get washed regularly build up a fine swirl pattern over months, picked up from automatic washes, microfibre towels or wash sponges carrying grit. That exact surface depth — usually 1 to 3 microns — is the target zone of the ExzenterPad medium. It removes enough to drop below the scratch depth without cutting into deeper layers of paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore heavily damaged paint with deep scratches, oxidation damage or baked-in water spots that don't bridge under the fingernail test need the ExzenterPad hart or a rotary pass. An honest read before you start polishing saves time: if you can feel a scratch with your fingernail, it sits in the primer or at the edge of the clear coat — the ExzenterPad medium won't fully clear it. As a rule of thumb: what the nail glides over without catching, the medium pad can correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTemperature plays a part too: on cold paint below 10 °C the foam stiffens up — the pad compresses less and the contact pressure climbs. On hot summer days outdoors, on the other hand, the pad goes softer and cuts more. Factor those variables into your first test panel so you can read the result before you polish whole panels.\u003cbr\u003e\nOn freshly painted cars, new vehicles with fine transport scratches, or after a chemical decon with a clay bar product, the ExzenterPad medium is your first choice for paint correction too. It gives the paint enough cut for a visible improvement without the risk of grinding through fresh paint that hasn't fully cured. After correcting with the ExzenterPad medium, a closing finishing pass with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-exzenterpad-weich-125-polierpad\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE ExzenterPad weich\u003c\/a\u003e is worth it, to clear the last micro-scratches from the polishing pass and leave the paint mirror-clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eExzenterPad medium vs hart vs SchaumPad — which pad when?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePad choice in practice isn't a matter of taste, it's a matter of paint condition and the result you're after. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE ExzenterPad medium\u003c\/strong\u003e holds the middle: more cut than a finishing pad, more mercy than a cutting pad. The ExzenterPad hart suits pronounced scratches, oxidation and heavy swirls — its denser foam core builds enough pressure with a high-abrasive polish for deep material removal. The downside: the finishing work afterwards is heavier, because the hard pad leaves finer holograms behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-exzenterpad-hart-polierpad\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE ExzenterPad hart\u003c\/a\u003e, the medium pad can fold the first correction pass straight into finishing in a two-stage workflow — when the polish matches the pad's cut. That saves time and is plenty for cars in normal condition. If you work with a one-step polish like the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonax-profiline-np-03-06-hochglanz-politur-finish\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE NP \"03-06\"\u003c\/a\u003e, the ExzenterPad medium is the ideal carrier foam: the NP \"03-06\" develops its cut and its finishing properties best on medium-cut pads and leaves a high gloss after a single pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the SchaumPads from the PROFILINE line, the ExzenterPad stands apart through its specific tuning for DA machines. SchaumPads can in principle be run on orbitals too, but their material spec is built around rotary use. The ExzenterPad medium is dialled in with a DA orbital — the rebound character of the foam matches the machine's motion frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for, combinations and buying advice for the ExzenterPad medium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe medium polishing pad from the PROFILINE line is built for professional detailers who work regularly with DA orbitals and need a dependable correction pad for the everyday bulk of cars. For detailing beginners with a DA machine it's the right starter pad too, because it's more forgiving than a hard cutting pad. The risk of grinding through the paint with the wrong technique is clearly lower with the medium pad than with an aggressive cutting pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you work on different vehicle types regularly, you'll benefit from a structured pad system. Dark cars and clear coats with thin film thickness call for more of a feel — here the ExzenterPad medium is often the safe bet, because it keeps the removal controllable. On light colours and paint with good film thickness, a hard pad on the first pass can make sense too, to clear deep scratches faster. A careful film-thickness check with a paint depth gauge before polishing is standard at a professional level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor professional use, the pack options of 15 pieces (Ø125 mm) or 10 pieces (Ø150 mm) are worth it. Detailers polishing several cars a day change the pad at the latest after two or three cars — a fresh pad gives consistently better results than a saturated one. With the 15-piece set you have enough pads for a working day without washing in between. That saves not just time but polish too, because a fresh pad takes up the abrasive more efficiently and releases it more evenly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor single users with the odd polishing job, the single pack is the right pick: cared for well and cleaned after every use, a PROFILINE ExzenterPad medium lasts many jobs. The combo of ExzenterPad medium for the correction pass and ExzenterPad weich for the closing finishing pass is the standard two-stage workflow Detailing1 recommends for normal everyday cars. As a verified SONAX dealer, Detailing1 stocks the PROFILINE ExzenterPad medium permanently in all sizes and pack quantities. For shops with high polishing volume, combined pad sets are worth a look too: a stock of medium and soft pads covers the whole two-stage workflow without having to reorder mid-job.

Wer dauerhaft beide Extreme fährt, ergänzt das abgestufte ZviZZer-System von Blau bis Grün.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDer eine Punkt, den die meisten unterschätzen: Ein Thermo-Schaumpad ist Verbrauchsmaterial, aber ein gepflegtes hält ein Vielfaches. Wasch es nach dem Einsatz lauwarm von Hand oder mit Pad-Reiniger aus und lass es an der Luft trocknen — niemals auf der Heizung oder mit Heißluft, denn der reticulierte Schaum verhärtet sonst. So bleibt aus den angegebenen 5- bis 6-fachen Standzeiten auch in der Praxis ein langlebiges Pad statt eines Wegwerfartikels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZviZZer","offers":[{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867580539215,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00005020MC","price":4.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867580571983,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00007020MC","price":5.46,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867580604751,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00009020MC","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867580637519,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00014020MC","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867580670287,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00016520MC","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882134937935,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00005020MC_10","price":48.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882134970703,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00005020MC_50","price":244.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882135003471,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00007020MC_10","price":54.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882135036239,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00007020MC_50","price":273.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882135069007,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00009020MC_10","price":59.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882135101775,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00009020MC_50","price":299.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882135134543,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00014020MC_10","price":119.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882135167311,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00014020MC_50","price":599.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882135200079,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00016520MC_10","price":159.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882135232847,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TTR00016520MC_50","price":799.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/zvizzer-thermo-trapez-pad-medium-orange-thermo-schaumpad_50-20-35-mm.png?v=1780776714"},{"product_id":"zvizzer-thermo-allrounder-pad-medium-orange-thermo-schaumpad","title":"Thermo Allrounder Pad \"Medium\" Thermo Foam Pad (Orange)","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eA pad that runs on both DA and rotary\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is the ZviZZer Thermo Allrounder Pad Medium? An orange open-cell thermo foam pad with velcro and a rubber backing layer that sits at the middle hardness of the five-step colour system and is tuned for one-step polishing.

Its open-cell thermo foam soaks up the polish and pulls friction heat away instead of trapping it in the paint, so the cut stays controlled. Between the velcro and the foam sits a rubber backing layer that stabilises the pad and lets it run just as happily on a DA as on a rotary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe most versatile hardness in the system.\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange is the middle of 5 steps, which makes it the best go-to when you don't want to swap pads for every defect.

That's what sets the Allrounder apart from a plain trapezoid foam pad with no backing layer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive sizes, from the edge to the panel.\u003c\/strong\u003e With Ø 50 and 70 mm you work mirror caps, bumper edges and tight radii, and with Ø 140 and 165 mm you run the bonnet and doors down quickly. Every pad is 20 mm thick, which spreads the pressure evenly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDay-to-day from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most common mistake is carrying on with a clogged pad. Once the foam loads up with polish residue it just smears and stops building gloss, and with nothing left to soak it up, heat builds and puts the paint at risk. Tap the pad out on the running machine every two or three sections. What we see day-to-day: two pads swapped back and forth get you through a whole side of the car, while a single clogged one starts smearing before you're even off the first half of the bonnet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpread the polish on the pad at low speed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet the Thermo Allrounder Pad Medium on the velcro backing plate, drop a pea-sized blob of polish on it and spread it at low speed before you work it in with medium pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou need clean, washed and decontaminated paint first. Work in sections of about 40 by 40 centimetres and keep the pad as flat on the panel as you can, so the pressure sits evenly. The orange pad is colour-matched to the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/zvizzer-mc-3000-medium-cut-orange-one-step-politur\"\u003eMC 3000 Medium Cut\u003c\/a\u003e, which it's meant to pair with as a one-step combo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrime a new pad once: work a thin coat of polish in so the foam takes it up evenly. Keep the pad clean and tap the residue out regularly. Below 15 degrees paint temperature the foam gets stubborn — go a touch higher on speed rather than adding more polish, or material backs up in the pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMedium defects yes, heavy correction no\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Medium pad handles light-to-medium swirls, holograms and dull paint reliably — but on deep scratches you can clearly catch with a fingernail, the foam pad hasn't got the aggressive first cut for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts home turf is the one-step reconditioning of wear on a well-kept daily driver. The rubber backing layer keeps the cut even, so you can cover ground with no hologram risk as long as the defect stays in the medium range. On a weathered plastic bumper the effect stays small — there's no hard clear coat to work on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe limits are clear.

If you constantly need both ends, you're better off with the graduated ZviZZer system from blue to green than with a single hardness. For a standard that covers 90 percent of jobs, go orange; for an extreme, reach for the matching special pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the workflow, the Medium pad is the starting point of almost every job. The one thing most people miss: they buy five sizes in one hardness but only one in each of the others. It's exactly the other way round — you want the full size range of the orange Allrounder, because it runs on mirrors, edges and the bonnet alike, while the extreme hardnesses only come into play for special cases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZviZZer","offers":[{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867589321039,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00005020MC","price":5.83,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867589353807,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00007020MC","price":6.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867589386575,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00009020MC","price":5.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867589419343,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00014020MC","price":13.92,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 1 Stück","offer_id":57867589452111,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00016520MC","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882114982223,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00005020MC_10","price":58.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 50\/20\/35 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882115014991,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00005020MC_50","price":291.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882115047759,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00007020MC_10","price":66.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 70\/20\/55 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882115080527,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00007020MC_50","price":334.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882115113295,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00009020MC_10","price":59.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 90\/20\/75 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882115146063,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00009020MC_50","price":299.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882115178831,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00014020MC_10","price":139.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 140\/20\/125 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882115211599,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00014020MC_50","price":696.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 10 Stück","offer_id":57882115244367,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00016520MC_10","price":169.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ø 165\/20\/150 mm \/ 50 Stück","offer_id":57882115277135,"sku":"D1-ZVIZZER-TAR00016520MC_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-medium-orange-thermo-schaumpad_50-20-35-mm.png?v=1780779370"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.co\/collections\/mittlere-pads-polishing-pads-aus-schaumstoff.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
