Hex-Logic Quantum Medium-Heavy Cutting Pad, Orange, 5.5 in

The Chemical Guys Quantum Medium-Heavy Cutting Pad is a must-have for anyone looking to achieve professional-grade results in paint correction. I used this 5.5-inch orange pad with an orbital polisher and a 5-inch backing plate, and the performance was outstanding. The Hex-Logic design is more than just a visual feature—it truly helps distribute product evenly and reduces heat buildup during extended use. I was able to remove moderate to heavy swirl marks, oxidation, and scratches from my car’s clear coat with ease. The medium-heavy cutting power strikes the perfect balance between aggressiveness and control, allowing for precise work without compromising the paint. Durability is another area where this pad shines. After multiple cars and several cleaning cycles, it held up remarkably well without losing its cutting ability or shape. Cleanup was easy—just a quick rinse with Chemical Guys pad cleaner, and it was ready for the next job. One of my favorite features is the beveled edge, which ensures smooth transitions and prevents the pad from digging into curves or edges. This design also minimizes the chances of leaving buffer trails, making it ideal for anyone new to paint correction. If I had to mention one drawback, it’s that the pad requires proper priming and technique to avoid clogging with compound or polish. However, this is a minor issue that can be resolved with proper maintenance and cleaning. Overall, the Hex-Logic Quantum Cutting Pad is an exceptional tool for detailers, whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional. Its performance, durability, and thoughtful design make it a worthwhile investment for anyone serious about paint correction.

I recently used the Chemical Guys Hex-Logic Buffing Pads while polishing my Jeep Gladiator, and I was thoroughly impressed with their performance. After testing several brands of buffing pads, the Hex-Logic pads stood out as the best by far. Unlike other pads I tried, which were prone to overheating and adhesive failure, the Hex-Logic pads maintained a consistently cool temperature throughout the process. This is crucial, as excessive heat can compromise the buffing process and lead to poor results. The Hex-Logic pads demonstrated exceptional durability, showing no signs of heat-related degradation even during extended use. The hook-and-loop attachment system is another standout feature. It provides a secure, reliable connection with no issues during use. While these pads are priced slightly higher than some competing brands, the quality and performance justify the investment. Additionally, the Hex-Logic pads come in a variety of sizes and cutting/polishing grits, making them versatile and suitable for a range of detailing needs. I highly recommend the Chemical Guys Hex-Logic Buffing Pads for anyone looking for reliable, high-quality buffing pads that deliver professional results.

Chemical Guys Hex-Logic Quantum Polishing/Finishing Pad Review As a complete novice to auto detailing, I was honestly a bit intimidated at first. I had never done any sort of detailing before, but after picking up a set of the Chemical Guys Hex-Logic Quantum Polishing/Finishing Pads (Blue, 5.5-inch) to go with my new TORQX Random Orbital Polisher, the whole process turned out to be effortless. The pads were incredibly easy to use, even for someone with no prior experience. The hexagonal design really helps distribute the polish evenly, and combined with the TORQX, it made achieving a smooth, professional-looking finish much simpler than I expected. The medium-soft texture of the blue pads worked perfectly for light polishing and finishing without causing any damage to the paint. What surprised me the most was how forgiving and user-friendly these pads were. Even as a beginner, I felt confident while using them, and the results exceeded my expectations. Plus, they’re durable enough to withstand multiple uses while still performing like new, and cleanup was hassle-free. I’d recommend these pads to anyone, especially if you’re new to detailing. They made my first experience so easy and enjoyable that I’m already looking forward to the next project.

The white Hex-Logic pad is perfect for light polishing and finishing work. I used it after a more aggressive cutting stage, and it really brought out a smooth, glossy finish on the paint. It spreads product evenly and works great with finishing polishes or all-in-one compounds. The pad feels firm enough to give good control, yet soft enough not to cause any haze or micro-marring. Perfect for that final step before applying wax or sealant. Will definitely be buying more!

Great firm pad. Can do it all depending on what chemical used. Would give 5stars but ordered 6 got 4

Just bought a cordless buffer and I thought it came with pads, it didn't. So after doing some homework I ended up with this Red pad and a Black one of the same brand. I have been color sanding some small imperfections in mt '56 chev wagon and rubbing out buy hand with a mild compound that I've used a lot. Then I got into some larger areas and needed help. The red pad worked perfect and turned a big job into a small job. I am no longer nervous about tackling bigger jobs.

Works great good value

Well make pad. Backing sticks securely. Will make DIY detailing easier. Well built.

Endlich habe ich die richtigen Pads für mich gefunden. Vom Ergebnis merke ich keinen Unterschied zu den Pads anderer Hersteller, aber der absolute Kaufgrund ist das Loch in der Mitte, wodurch die Wärme besser Abgeleitet werden kann. Alle anderen Pads haben sich leider mit der Zeit immer weiter verformt, dieses bleibt wie es soll. Ich reinige die Pads immer direkt nach der Benutzung unter fließend Wasser und kann nach etwa 4 Nutzungen noch keine größeren Abnutzungserscheinungen erkennen. Definitiv eine Kaufempfehlung von mir.

I have several of these pads and they work amazing with my Milwaukee polisher! Perfect for light polishing does well at removing smaller lighter scratches, but I will definitely buy more and stock up

Au top rien a dire

Good buffing pad
