Orange Flat Pad

Serious paint correction starts with serious cut. The KKE Orange Flat Foam Pad is the pad for that first stage — firm-density foam built to pair with heavy compounds, attack deep scratches, lift oxidation, and erase swirl marks that lighter pads can only mask.

Not every paint job needs a cutting pad. Light swirl marks and recent wear can be handled with a polishing pad alone. But for paint that's seen real damage — deep scratches, heavy oxidation from sun exposure, swirl marks built up over years — you need the cut that only a firm foam pad can deliver. The orange pad is the starting point.

• Firm-density foam — holds its shape under pressure for consistent cut.
• Flat face — even contact across the panel, no skipped areas.
• Velcro backing — fits common backing plates for rotary and DA polishers.
• Built to be reused — wash between jobs to clear out compound residue.

1. Pair with a cutting compound suitable for the defect level.
2. Apply a few small dabs of compound to the pad face.
3. Spread evenly across the work area at low speed before increasing.
4. Work in overlapping passes with moderate-to-firm pressure.
5. Wipe the panel with a microfiber towel between sections to check progress.
6. Follow with a medium polishing pad to refine the surface.

Tip: A cutting pad does aggressive work — keep speed and pressure controlled to avoid heat build-up. Stop and check progress frequently.
