The Lake Country Microfiber HDO Cutting Pad is built for medium to heavy correction on all paint systems. Thousands of fine fibre strands act as abrasives to level sanding marks, swirl damage and oxidation quickly, while still leaving a surprisingly refined finish for a cutting pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for DA polishers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA durable foam interface sits between the microfibre face and the backing plate. It improves machine feel and keeps the pad balanced under pressure on orbital polishers, and it reduces matting so the cut stays consistent pass after pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVentilated centre cooling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HDO version has a ventilated centre cavity that releases heat from the middle of the pad.
