Our Range of Auto Polishing Pads
Rather than offering endless variations, we stock a clear, practical pad setup that covers the full correction process.
- Hard Foam Polishing Pads: Hard auto buffing pads are used with fast-cut and heavier correction compounds to remove scratches, oxidation, and sanding marks. They provide a stronger cut while helping keep the surface flat and controlled, making them suitable for initial correction stages.
- Medium Foam Polishing Pads: Medium car detailing pads offer a balance between cut and refinement. These pads are commonly used with medium or all-in-one compounds to correct lighter defects while still producing good gloss.Β
Soft Foam Polishing Pads: Soft auto detailing buffing pads are designed for finishing work. Used with fine finishing compounds or glazes, they help refine the surface, improve clarity, and reduce the risk of holograms or heat-related issuesduring final polishing stages.
Why Choose Car Polishing Pads from Autofinish?
Polishing pads have a direct impact on cut, heat control, and finish quality, and cheap or poorly made pads make correction harder than it needs to be. At Autofinish, we stock polishing pads that hold their shape, distribute pressure evenly, and perform consistently under machine polishing.
Our hard, medium, and soft foam pads are selected to suit different correction stages, helping remove scratches efficiently while minimising the risk of overheating or hologram defects. Theyβre suitable for both older, cured coatings and fresh paintwork, making them a reliable option across detailing and refinishing jobs.
All pads are held locally with fast delivery across New Zealand, so youβre not stuck waiting once work is underway. If you need help choosing the right pad grade for your compound or paint condition, reach out to our friendly team.

How do I choose between hard, medium, and soft car polishing pads?
Hard pads are for heavier correction, medium pads suit general polishing, and soft pads are best for finishing and refining the surface.
How do auto polishing pads help reduce holograms?
Softer pads, lighter pressure, and correct machine speed during finishing help minimise hologram marks.
