Unipad Yellow Compounding Pad

The Unipad Yellow Compounding Pad is a versatile, high-performance buffing pad engineered to deliver fast and effective correction with minimal hassle. Designed for both hobbyist detailers and professional users, this pad excels in removing light to medium surface imperfections while finishing cleanly. It works seamlessly with both orbital and rotary polishers, making it a reliable “go-to” compounding pad in your detailing arsenal.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dual-compatibility (rotary & orbital): This pad is uniquely designed for use on both rotary and dual-action polishers, giving you flexibility across different machines. 

• Efficient scratch removal: Cuts quickly through light to moderate defects like swirls, marring, and buffer trails, saving you time in the correction stage. 

• Clean finish: Leaves behind a smooth, consistent surface ready for polishing or finishing steps.

• Broad product compatibility: Works ideally with Cartec’s Refinish line, including Diamond Cut 3000, Rapid Cut 4000, Compound 5000, Final Cut 9000, and Ultra Finish 12000. 

• Multiple size options: Choose from 140 mm or 90 mm sizes (single pieces or multi-packs), allowing customisation according to project scale and machine size. 

Usage Tips & Best Practices

• Begin with a small amount of compound or polish — avoid overloading the pad.

• Work in overlapping passes, using light to moderate pressure to allow the pad to “do the work.”

• Keep the pad clean: pause periodically during use to brush or blast away residue, which helps maintain maximum cutting efficiency and prevent surface marring.

• Pair with finer polishing or finishing pads and products after compounding to achieve depth and gloss.

• Detailing professionals seeking a reliable pad that can adapt to both rotary and DA machines

• Car enthusiasts and DIYers who want a single pad capable of tackling a range of defect correction tasks
