Why Choose the chemicalworkz Pad Brush & Removal Tool?
-
Dual-Purpose Design: Features a cleaning brush on one end and a dedicated pad removal wedge on the other.

-

How to Use
-
To Clean: While the machine is off (or at a very low speed for rotaries), gently run the brush across the face of the pad to dislodge spent polish and debris.
-
To Remove: Slide the wedge end between the backing plate and the pad's Velcro layer. Gently pry the pad away to break the grip without straining the foam.
FAQ
Will the bristles damage my soft finishing pads? The bristles are semi-rigid to be effective, so we recommend using a light touch on very soft finishing foams. For firmer cutting foams and microfibre pads, it is the perfect cleaning solution.
Can I use this on a DA or Rotary polisher? Yes, this tool is universal and works perfectly with pads used on any machine type, including Random Orbital, Gear Driven, and Rotary.
Why shouldn't I just pull the pads off with my hands? Over time, pulling on the foam to remove a pad from a strong Velcro backing plate can cause the foam to tear or the adhesive holding the Velcro to fail. The wedge tool applies even pressure to "pop" the bond safely.
