ShineMate's Yellow Cutting Pad works perfectly to remove any deep scratches, swirl marks and defects that occur with heavy polishing compounds.
The ShineMate Yellow Black Diamond Pad is a purpose-built medium cutting pad designed to correct moderate to heavy paint defects across a variety of paint types. Constructed with a professional grade open-cell foam, this foam cutting pad offers a balance of cut and compliance - delivering effective swirl and defect removal while maintaining control on complex panel shapes.
Its signature Black Diamond structure reduces surface contact area, which lowers heat generation and machine vibration, improving user comfort during extended use. Compatible with both rotary and dual action machines, this cutting pad maintains stability and shape under pressure, whether you're working on medium, hard or even some softer finishes.
Engineered for versatility, it adapts well to SMAT, DAT and Nano abrasive compounds, and is particularly effective when paired with products like ShineMate V82 or Scholl S20 Black One Step Compound. The pad's durability, balance and consistent performance make it a dependable option for detailers seeking reliable connection without needing to step into the territory of heavy or wool-based cutting pads.
