We Say
One of the main reasons why the SCHOLL Concepts brand stands out in the world of automotive polishing is because their people think differently. Good looks and novelty marketing features are not sought out when their products are designed. Rather, optimum functionality and intelligent details that add value to the end-user are the primary objectives, and this philosophy is extended to all of the products in the range. This is not surprising, because a core SCHOLL Concepts belief is that the best results are only obtained when polishes and pads, like the components in a blueprinted engine or a precision watch, are meticulously designed to work together to enhance each other's performance. Only then do you get the best finish in the shortest possible time. Consequently, the SCHOLL Concepts Premium Polishing Pad is made from an open cell foam that is optimised for use with SCHOLL Concepts cutting compounds, and features a curved profile that maximises safety when working in tight spots. It is a minimalist design that works extremely well.

Description
The SCHOLL Concepts Premium Polishing Pad is manufactured in a state of the art production facility in Remseck, Germany, and is designed specifically for polishing modern paint finishes. As it needs to do more work than a finishing pad, it comprises a firm reticulated foam with a coarse open cell structure, which gives it a moderate cutting action and allows air to circulate through it freely, thus enabling frictional heat to be quickly dispersed. Moreover, this reticulated foam is also tear-resistant, which maximises its durability. Regardless of your level of experience, you will find the SCHOLL Concepts Premium Polishing Pad easy to use; although it is quite firm it still has a degree of give, meaning it conforms to curved surfaces relatively well. The SCHOLL Concepts Premium Polishing Pad also features a high quality hook and loop backing, which is set back a few millimetres from the edge of the pad for safety and complete peace of mind. The SCHOLL Concepts Premium Polishing Pad is currently available in three different sizes.

How To Use
General usage notes: (i) always select the least aggressive pad you think you will need to achieve the desired result, and step up one grade at a time if more cut is required (ii) always ensure that you centre each pad properly on the backing plate (this can take several attempts to get right, but is vital if the machine is to remain perfectly balanced during use); (iii) always use an appropriate sized pad for the backing plate you are using (the pad should always protrude past the edge of the backing plate, never the other way around); (iv) always prime a new pad by loading it with 2-6 pea-sized drops of product (depending on pad size) and running it stationary on the paint for 30 seconds at low speed; (v) always ensure that spent polish residue on the face of the pad is brushed off regularly during use using a PB Utility Brush (failure to follow this advice can lead to micromarring of the finish, so don't be lazy!); (vi) after use, soak each pad in a bucket of PB Snappy Clean Boost solution for 15 minutes and then rinse under fresh running water (using your fingertips to massage out any remaining polish residue) and allow to dry naturally, and; (vii) while not in use, store in a dry, dust-free environment (lidded plastic storage boxes are ideal in this respect).
