When to choose it

Choose this pad when you can already reach the spot you want to clean and prefer to feel where the pad sits. The manufacturer identifies the contact pad for acrylic. Compare a handled version if reaching the lower panel is awkward.

API specifies use on wet surfaces and tells you to rinse the pad before and after use. If it collects grit, rinse it before putting it back on the panel. The pad format is useful when a long handle gets in the way around trim.

Questions about this product

Does this listing include a handle?

What should I do if the pad picks up gravel?

API directs you to rinse it before continuing because trapped gravel can scratch acrylic.
