Check the backing plate first

Read the specific pad listing and machine instructions before choosing a size. Nominal pad dimensions and backing-plate requirements are not always the same across product ranges. Golden State's 5-inch Diamond Foam Pads are explicitly listed for a 5-inch backing plate.

Record the machine model, backing-plate size and pad attachment type before placing a bulk order. If any specification is unclear, confirm it with sales before purchasing.

Select a grade for the polishing stage

The following grades apply to the listed Golden State 5-inch Diamond Foam Pads:

Color Listed grade How to approach selection
Green Heavy cutting Consider when more correction is needed, subject to paint condition and a test area.
Yellow Medium cutting Compare for an intermediate correction step.
Red Light finishing Compare for the refinement stage after the correction needs are assessed.

Pad colors are not a universal grading system. Check the description when changing brands or product ranges. Results depend on the pad, compound, machine, paint condition and technique together. Start with a suitable test area and the least aggressive combination that achieves the intended result; not every defect can be safely removed.

Order for the work your shop actually performs

Separate your stock plan by size and grade. A shop doing frequent correction work may use a different mix than one focused on finishing. Track which combinations are used most often before reordering equal quantities of every pad.

Plan for rotation and cleaning during the job. Inspect pads for damage, keep different products separated as needed and follow the pad and machine instructions. Confirm available quantities with sales rather than assuming every size or grade uses the same packaging.

Questions buyers ask

Can one pad handle cutting and finishing?

The required pad depends on the desired result and the complete polishing system. Keep stages and products organized, and use a test area to decide whether a separate finishing step is needed.

Can I choose pads by color alone?

No. Use the manufacturer's grade description for the exact pad. The green, yellow and red mapping above is specific to the cited Golden State 5-inch product listing.

What should I send with a wholesale inquiry?

Include your machine model, backing-plate size, pad grades and estimated quantities. This helps sales check the selection and current ordering details.
