ThermoPad UFO
ZviZZer Thermo UFO Pads for correction, one-step polishing and finishing
ZviZZer Thermo UFO Pads combine a distinctive UFO geometry with thermostable, open-cell polishing foam. Their shape supports even pressure distribution and controlled operation on flat panels, curves and bodywork transitions. This makes the pads suitable for professional detailers and demanding car care enthusiasts who want to correct paint defects efficiently and achieve a consistent finish.
The thermally stable foam retains its shape when exposed to the friction heat generated during machine polishing. Its open-cell structure supports heat dissipation and an even distribution of polish. This helps the pad remain controllable during the polishing cycle and makes its performance easier to predict.
The advantages of the UFO pad geometry
The symmetrical, slightly tapered outer contour avoids an abrupt, rigid foam edge. This helps the pad follow curved panels, rounded bodywork and transitions more smoothly. It also reduces the tendency of polish to collect directly against a sharp pad edge. The result is stable operation, precise positioning and greater control near the edge of the working area.
An integrated PU layer stabilises the construction between the polishing foam and the hook-and-loop backing. It reduces the penetration of polish towards the backing, supports pressure distribution and contributes to smoother machine operation. This is particularly useful during longer polishing cycles and repeated professional use.
Choosing the correct ZviZZer Thermo UFO Pad
Grey hard - for more pronounced paint defects
The grey hard Thermo UFO Pad delivers the highest correction potential of the three available hardness levels. It is intended for more pronounced scratches, visible signs of use, dull paint areas and demanding correction work. A test spot should always be completed before polishing the entire vehicle to evaluate the combination of paint, polish, machine and pad.
White medium - for swirls and one-step polishing
The white medium pad combines controlled correction with clean gloss development. Its main applications include light to medium wash marks, swirls and fine paint defects. It is the balanced choice for efficient one-step work where defect removal and finishing need to be combined in one polishing stage.
Red soft - for finishing and maximum gloss
The red soft Thermo UFO Pad is designed for fine polishing work and a high-quality gloss finish. It can be used to refine the paint surface, work on more sensitive finishes and complete the final finishing stage after stronger correction. On dark paint, its softer structure supports a particularly clear and even gloss appearance.
Three pad sizes for different vehicle areas
The range includes 95, 145 and 170 mm pad diameters for different panel sizes. The compact 95 mm pad is particularly useful on narrow or more heavily shaped areas such as bumpers, pillars and smaller sections. The 145 mm version is a versatile option for doors, wings and many other body panels. The 170 mm pad supports efficient polishing on larger areas such as bonnets, roofs and wide side panels. The selected pad must always match the backing plate and polishing machine being used.
Developed for the ZviZZer Speed Polish System
Thermo UFO Pads were developed specifically for use with ZviZZer Speed Polish One-Step Polish. Selecting the appropriate hardness allows the system to be adjusted to the level of paint defects, paint hardness and desired finish. Grey increases correction, white provides a balanced one-step combination and red focuses on finishing and high gloss.
Using and maintaining Thermo UFO Pads
Attach the pad cleanly and centrally to a suitable backing plate. Apply a small amount of polish and begin with a test section. Brush or blow out the pad regularly while working. This removes used abrasive material, paint residue and excess polish before they can reduce correction performance or compromise the finish.
After use, clean the pad thoroughly with a suitable polishing pad cleaner, press out excess water carefully and allow it to air-dry completely. A clean pad works more consistently and makes it easier to assess the true condition of the paint.
