About Hex-Logic Polishing Pads
Hex-logic pads are engineered and developed for today’s pickiest detailing professionals. Engineered, developed and tested to the strictest and highest requirements of our OEM clients, these pads utilize the best foams from around the world and the latest of testing and research and development! Unlike traditional pads, the Hex-logic pads use a system of precision, laser cut hexagons to not only distribute the right amount of product throughout the pad, but also provide 100% coverage on flat or rounded/angled surface.
Much like the way bees build a honeycomb nest to distribute honey and pollen evenly, the Hex-Logic Pads keep product in the groves while you start and as the pad is spun and rubbed against the surface, the polish travels thought the hex-groves into the pad evenly, delivering a superior accurate finish, while keeping the surface constantly lubricated to reduce friction and marring.
The unique hex laser cut surface of the pad enables Hex-Logic pads to conform to the shape of the surface, delivering maximum surface contact while distributing product evenly throughout the pad to minimize heat.
Hex-Logic Surface Technology
Developed to address weaknesses inherent in traditional foam pads, Hex-Logic technology is the first surface-functioning pad that adapts to curved, angled, sloped or flat surfaces delivering the maximum amount of contact and the right amount of product distribution to deliver perfect results to any surface.
Based on hexagonal honeycomb-shaped product cells, the computer designed hex-logic system ensures proper surface contact and even product distribution over any surface. Durable Acu-Pore foam technology combined with hex-logic honeycomb product distribution cells enables hex-logic pads to utilize product, friction and heat to product prefect results on any surface.
Hex-Logic foam pads perform slightly different from each other on the basis of how they are constructed. Under a microscope, Acu-Foam technology is visibly. The foam pads also have a hex-logic honeycomb construction of small uniformly shaped cells. The smaller the cells, the more dense the construction. Each pad color has a different density of foam and a varying amount of cut. Once the foam style is selected the Hex-Logic computer carefully calculates pad density and adjusts the depth of cut into the pad surface. Each Color pad will have a specific depth of cut in reference to the hex-logic pattern on the pad surface. Hex-logic pads are open allowing maximum air to flow through the foam. Chemical compounds and polishes require the right amount of air flow through the foam. Open cell foam is ideal is achieving the best results from your chemicals.
Product Description
The Black Self-Centered Hex Logic Finishing Pad has a firm composition that is firm enough to withstand added pressure during final finishing to remove buffer swirls. The pad has no cut and will apply thin, even coats of waxes, sealants and glazes. This pad features PUR+ (Poly-Urethane-Reactive Bonding). This pad has the most durable and resistant backing plate, it is soft and gentle to paint. This pad also features Hexagon technology, also known as Hex-Logic. Hex-Logic pads are designed to hold product and distribute it evenly over the surface of the pad delivering a superior even finish that is hard to achieve with any other pad. The unique construction of the pads makes them extremely easy to maneuver while distributing the product evenly on the surface. The Hex-Logic pads keep the product in the groves while you start and as the pad is spun and rubbed against the surface, the polish will travel through the hex-groves into the pad, evenly delivering a superior accurate finish. The surface is constantly lubricated which reduces friction and marring. The unique hex laser cut surface of the pad enables Hex-Logic pads to conform to the shape of the surface delivering maximum surface contact. The Hexagon construction forms perfectly to a vehicle's many curves while the unique pad construction reduces unnecessary heat. The self-centered pads are uniquely sized to 6.5 inches making them perfect for big or small jobs. These pads have a "V" like construction so the face of the pad is wider than the backing, offering a one inch foam protector that assures no matter how hard you push, you will never hit the backing of the plate against the surface.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The pad's construction is commendable, exhibiting durability during extended use. The engineered foam structure effectively removes imperfections, swirls, and scratches with precision. I appreciate the consistent results it achieves, making paint correction tasks more efficient and achieving a smoother finish.
What stands out is its compatibility with a variety of polishes and compounds, offering flexibility in my detailing processes. The hook and loop backing securely attaches to the polishing machine, ensuring stability during operation.
For anyone engaged in automotive detailing, the Chemical Guys Medium-Heavy Cutting Pad is a reliable choice. It's a well-crafted tool that enhances the efficiency of paint correction tasks, making it easier to achieve professional-level results.
That being said im going to go back to using the Lake County pads with meguiars 105/205 combo with v38 to finish. The results are very consistent and on a DA super safe.

Maintenance is important here, I used a soft toothbrush to remove polish residue from the pads between runs and threw them in water immediately after switching to a new one.
I wish I got more as I had only three of these for an entire car which isn't ideal – I had to clean and dry them midway through my polishing session as an average sized car should need at least 4 or 5 of these in my opinion.
And this is why the price matters. For some reason Amazon priced these much better than other retailers and it made me wonder whether these are genuine. As opposed to the product photos, there is branding on the back of the pads, and even if they are fake, without any previous experience with Chemical Guys foam pads I won't be able to tell. Packaging and quality feels genuine to my weekend warrior eyes and I'm happy with the performance. Will buy other grades if priced this well.
