PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
In the UAE, exposure to sunlight, road debris, and contaminants dulls your car’s shine, leaving behind swirl marks and oxidation. Without regular polishing, even the most well-maintained vehicle can start looking aged. The SONAX Lambskin Pad (5 inch) is the Ideal detailing tool for polishing vehicles to maintain their shine and appearance. Made with thick, high-quality fur, the product is used in conjunction with abrasive polishes and pastes to restore a deep, mirror-like finish to your car while shielding its paint from future damage.
What The Product Does
The SONAX Lambskin Pad (5 inch) is a crucial detailing tool in the paint correction process, designed to remove imperfections such as swirl marks, oxidation, water spots, and fine scratches. It is mainly for maximum abrasiveness, due to its unique composition of 100% genuine merino lambskin, featuring natural sheep’s wool attached to the leather hide product. It is built to be used more than once and has a very long service life.Benefits vs Features
Let’s compare the benefits of using this product, together with its technical features.Benefits
- Improves Your Vehicle’s Appearance: When this tool is used together with abrasive polishes and pastes, the main intent is to revive faded, dull paint, restoring that deep, reflective shine your car once had. With it, your car can be rejuvenated and it wouldn’t look like it had a scratch at all.
- Protects Your Paintwork: This product is designed to give you a smoother surface in your car, as it eliminates scratches and swirl marks. This makes it harder for dirt, water, and contaminants to stick, reducing long-term wear and tear especially considering the UAE’s extreme climate.
- Increases Your Vehicle’s Resale Value: It is simple logic that a well-maintained, polished car looks newer and more appealing to buyers. In turn, fetches a higher price for the car, even as there may be more than one buyer bidding for ownership.
- Eliminates Micro-Marring and Scratches: The micro marring also known as swirls found on the surface of the paint is ridiculous and leads to making your car look so unlikely. This product allows you to get rid of those tiny scratches and let your car look new.
- Eliminate Those Dust Nibs: Most times, when the painting process is on, various small particles of dust and other foreign material land on the surface of the paint causing dust nibs on the body of the vehicle. This product is intended to easily remove those nibs and make the level of the paint even and smoother.
Technical Features
- 5 Inch Class Dimensions: The product is designed to be exactly 133 mm (5.2 inches) in size, fitting into a 125 mm (5-inch) backing plate of a rotary polisher. This means that it agrees with the standard measurement of most machine polishers.
- Optimized for Maximum Abrasiveness: This product stands out for its maximum cutting abilities. It is the ideal tool for removing deep scratches, swirl marks, or oxidation while being gentle on your car’s paint surface.
- Temperature Control Abilities: This product gives you full control during polishing and even reduces the likelihood of friction by 40%. This is because of the presence of synthetic fibres that allow it to glide through the surface of your car.
- Compatibility: This product accepts any kind of polisher or paste and it is compatible with rotary polishers and dual-action machines.
- Simple Fastening System: We designed this product with a Velcro (Hook & Loop) backing system.
How to Use
Clear Steps:- Preparation and Priming: The first thing to do is to ensure that the surface you want to work on is washed and decontaminated. Then, you want to attach the pad to the Velcro backing pad of your polisher.
- Apply Polisher: After preparation, moisten the surface of the polisher with a polishing pad conditioner. You can apply 4 to 5 drops across the surface of the pad.
- Polishing: When polishing, we recommend that you do so in a crosshatch pattern. Also, always start at a low speed to effectively distribute the product before increasing the speed to remove scratches.
- Immediate Cleaning and Buffing: Immediately you finish with a particular section, blow out the pad with compressed air or use a cleaning brush to remove residue.

FAQ
No. We recommend that you don't polish your car immediately you finish driving it in the hot UAE Sun. This is to prevent the compound that you apply on the pad from drying too quickly, which can lead to friction issues.
Since most regions in the UAE are heavily dust-infested, it is critical to blow out the pad regularly with compressed air. This removes contaminants and environmental residue from the pad, keeping it in perfect condition for your next use.
You can use any polisher or paste from the Sonax Profiline. When the paste is used effectively with the pad it is designed to restore the appearance of your vehicle.
