Description
Medium Cut Pad
Get the correction you need without automatically stepping up to an aggressive cutting pad.
The Americana Global Medium Cut Pad is an orange foam polishing pad designed to balance cutting ability with finishing performance. It’s ideal for light to moderate paint imperfections where heavier correction isn’t necessary.
Use it for everyday paint correction, newer vehicles with factory or handling imperfections, or as part of a multi-step paint correction process.
What It Helps Correct
- Light to moderate swirl marks
- Light to moderate scratches
- Minor oxidation
- Light etching
- Common paint imperfections
Why Use a Medium Cut Pad?
Not every vehicle needs an aggressive cutting step.
The Medium Cut Pad gives you a versatile middle ground between heavy cutting and fine finishing. Its foam construction provides correction for common imperfections while helping maintain a refined finish.
Signature ventilation holes help improve airflow during extended polishing sessions.
Recommended Pairing
For a balanced correction step, pair the Medium Cut Pad with Americana Global Medium Cut Elite Series. This combination is well suited for common paint imperfections when a heavier cutting system isn’t necessary.
For additional refinement and gloss after correction, follow with Americana Global Fine Cut and the appropriate finishing pad.
Recommended Machine: Long-throw dual-action (DA) polisher.
