Overview

This is an upgraded “high-cut” ceramic hybrid pad designed for the toughest part of polishing: the transition after metal on hard or very dense concrete. The ceramic-loaded matrix cuts cleaner than standard resin, helping you reduce swirl/scratch carryover before you move into finer resin pads.

Applications

• Metal scratch removal / refinement after 30–80 metal grits

• Hard concrete where resin pads glaze or cut slowly

• Polishing prep for densified slabs or burnished concrete

• Detail zones: edges, small rooms, control passes

Key Features

• Size: 3” / 80mm

• Bond type: Ceramic hybrid (resin-bond transition)

• Back: Hook & loop (Velcro)

• Use: Wet or dry (dry requires good dust control)

• Cut behavior: Faster scratch removal vs typical resin transition pads

Grit Options (Variants)

30 / 50 / 100 / 200 / 400 (set to your real variants)

Fitment

• Works with 3” (80mm) Velcro backing plates / holders

• If you’re unsure: confirm your holder is 80mm and uses hook & loop

FAQ

Q1: Where does this pad go in the process?

Use it right after metal grinding as a bridge step: Metal → Ceramic Hybrid → Resin.

Q2: Is this the same as a normal resin pad?

No—this is a ceramic hybrid transition pad. It’s meant to cut harder and clean up metal scratches faster, especially on hard slabs.

Q3: Wet or dry?

Both. Wet = cooler and longer life. Dry = faster, but use strong vacuum to avoid glazing.

Q4: How do I pick the starting grit?

If you still see heavy metal scratches, start 30 or 50. If the floor already looks clean, start 100.
