Eastwood has a wide range of foam pads in various types and densities, each designed for specific polishing and buffing applications. These range from soft polishing pads for light defect removal and finishing to more aggressive cutting pads for heavy defect correction. Foam pads are available in different colors to indicate their level of aggressiveness, with softer pads typically being lighter in color.

Microfiber pads are becoming increasingly popular for automotive polishing and buffing. They are highly effective at removing defects and enhancing gloss, and they tend to produce less heat during use compared to foam pads. Microfiber pads are available in various thicknesses and pile lengths to suit different polishing needs.

Wool pads are traditionally used with rotary polishers for heavy cutting and defect removal. They are made from natural or synthetic fibers and are more aggressive than foam or microfiber pads. Wool pads are typically used in conjunction with heavier cutting compounds for paint correction work.

Backing plates are the interface between the polishing tool and the polishing pad. They come in various sizes and designs to fit different polishers and pads. Some backing plates feature a hook-and-loop (Velcro) attachment system for quick and easy pad changes.
