ShineMate | Black Diamond Green Foam Heavy Cutting Pad · 4"$13.60 About ShineMate
Built for aggressive correction - the ShineMate Black Diamond Green is a dense heavy cutting pad made to tackle serious defects on harder paint finishes.
This professional-grade foam cutting pad uses extremely dense open-cell green foam, designed for maximum removal while keeping control and finish quality in check. With its high rigidity, it generates more surface heat - accelerating the breakdown of stubborn ceramic clears or harder OEM finishes.
ShineMate's Black Diamond geometry minimises surface contact, reducing friction and heat load while improving balance and user comfort. It's especially effective when paired with a rotary polisher but also works perfectly well with a DA polisher.
Perfect for use with nano-based compounds like Scholl S2 Black, Scholl S3 Gold and Nv Precision. See the full ShineMate range.

Common questions
Flats Vs Diamonds
Flat pads - More foam touching the paint, so they cut faster and correct defects quicker. Great when you're chasing efficiency and maximum correction.
Black Diamond pads - the diamond-pattern face creates channels that reduce heat, lower vibration, and help the pad maintain its shape during longer polishing sessions. They feel smoother and more controlled.
