AIRCRAFT POLISHES A FRESH COMPOUND

New AirCraft polishing compound sponges a detailer's delight

When it comes to automotive detailing, perfection has to be the buzzword. Which is precisely what AirCraft's new compounding sponge buffing pads are engineered to deliver. Paired with an abrasive cutting compound and used with a rotary or dual-action polisher, AirCraft compounding sponge buffing pads will deliver a mirrorlike finish to any automotive or similar surface.

AirCraft's firmer density 150 mm diameter M14 thread drive compounding sponge is finished in orange to tell it apart from the softer white pads in your toolkit. It is designed to remove scratches and imperfections from a vehicle body using an automotive polishing machine and compounds in preparation for finishing with the softer white pad.

AirCraft's 150 mm diameter 50 mm M14 thread white premium compounding sponges meantime delivers highest-quality automotive paint correction. Offering a fine balance between cutting power and a smooth finish, this 150 mm pad is also available with a 5/8-inch backing plate for use with Imperial machines.

Easy to attach to rotary polishers, these premium white pads offer excellent control and comfortably conform to curved car body and part surfaces. Used with compounding polishes, this pad will remove moderate scratches, swirls, oxidation, and other paint imperfections from automotive paint finishes to leave a smooth, polished finish.

Available alongside and the rest of AirCraft's incredible air product range at leading tool, equipment and hardware outlets across Southern Africa.
