Lake Country SDO Orange Polishing Pad 5.5 inch x 7/8 inch for Fine Scratch Removal and Finishing

SDO Orange Polishing Pad 5.5 x 7/8

Standard Duty Orbital (SDO) pads are designed to offer the same great foams as the HDO line without the dual-layer construction and are suitable for all random orbital DA polishers with a center ventilated backing plate. The center hole provides a tunnel to release and dissipate heat from the foam, reducing surface temperatures, making it less likely to damage the paint.

Consistent performance, firmness throughout the heat cycle, and user experience. Foams provide maximum durability and consistency when polishing with a long-throw polisher.

Benefits:

• Polish - Orange Pads are used for fine scratches general light swirls and used with medium cut compound or polish. The Orange pad can be used as a cutting pad on softer paints or when defects are not too severe to begin with. On harder paint surfaces, the orange foam acts as the perfect choice for finishing to a brilliant gloss.
• Tapered Edge Prevents pad rolling and provides great pad rotation. Great for curved and contoured panels. Allows for precision polishing in tight areas.
• Center Ventilated Cooling Chamber Dissipates heat away from the center of the pad, reducing temperatures and increasing durability. The system also allows for perfect pad alignment.
• Designed Together The SDO system pairs perfectly with our low lint wool heavy cutting pads made of knitted prewashed lambswool.
• Fits Backing Plate: 5

The Lake Country SDO Orange Polishing Pad measures 5.5 inches in diameter with a 7/8 inch center hole, designed for use with all random orbital dual-action polishers equipped with center ventilated backing plates. Crafted to deliver consistent performance, this pad features a foam construction similar to the HDO line but without the dual-layer design, ensuring reliability during prolonged polishing sessions. The center hole acts as a cooling tunnel to dissipate heat effectively, reducing surface temperatures and lowering the risk of paint damage during polishing.

Constructed for durability and uniform pressure, the SDO Orange Pad maintains firmness throughout the heat cycle, providing a stable polishing experience. Its tapered edge prevents pad rolling and promotes efficient rotation, making it ideal for curved and contoured panels.
