This disc is primarily used for polishing and achieving a fine finish on lacquered surfaces. It's excellent for correcting minor imperfections like orange peel, paint runs, and dust inclusions.
What type of polisher is this disc compatible with?
This disc is specifically designed for use with the Bosch PWR 180 CE polisher.
Can I use this disc for heavy sanding or material removal?
No, this is an extra-soft foam disc intended for finishing. It is not designed for aggressive sanding or significant material removal.
How do I clean the foam disc?
After use, remove dust with a soft brush or compressed air. If necessary, wipe gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid solvents.

Troubleshooting
Disc not attaching securely
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces on both the disc and the polisher pad are clean and free from debris. Realign and press firmly.
Uneven finish or swirling
Check that the disc is centered on the polisher pad. Ensure you are using a compatible polishing compound and not applying excessive pressure. Clean the disc if it is clogged with compound.

This disc is designed for finishing and may wear faster with prolonged aggressive use. Ensure you are using the correct pressure and not attempting heavy material removal.
