How It Works

Polishing Pad Cleaner cleans and rejuvenates all foam, microfiber, and wool polishing pads. The innovative cleaner removes spent compound, polish, wax, and paint residue from any polishing pad. The citrus-based cleaner breaks down and releases spent product, removed paint, dirt, and contaminants from polishing pads. Simply spray on any polishing pad, scrub with a pad-cleaning brush, and rinse with warm running water. Polishing Pad Cleaner is also designed for use in any pad-cleaning machine for maximum cleaning power. The advanced citrus formula removes spent product, buildup, grease, and oil to restore the performance of any polishing pad. Polishing Pad Cleaner helps maintain the original condition of brand new foam, microfiber, and wool polishing pads. The cleaner prevents old wax and polishing compound from drying inside pads and ruining them. Polishing Pad Conditioner cleans and restores new and old polishing pads.

Cleans All Buffing Pads

Different polishing jobs require different combinations of machine polisher, polishing pad, and polishing compound. Body shop wet-sanding marks typically require heavy compound and wool cutting pads. Light swirls and scratches are removed with a foam cutting pad and swirl remover polish. Hard paint finishes may only be cut with microfiber cutting pads and a medium compound. Polishing Pad Cleaner works on all foam, microfiber, and wool buffing and polishing pads. Pad Cleaner rinses clean and leaves pads refreshed and extends their lifetime. Without proper cleaning, buffing and polishing pads can cake up with dry polish and paint residue. Residue clogs polishing pads, which reduces their cutting ability and causes them to produce sub-par results.

Polish With Clean Pads For Superior Results

Machine polishing is the fine detailing art that balances machine power, abrasives, and friction to remove swirls and scratches, and restore luster to paint. When polishing pads clog up with spent product and paint residue, they can no longer produce the correct amount of friction and produce sub-par polishing results. If this residue is never cleaned, the pads clog after just a couple polishing jobs and must be thrown away. Chemical Guys Polishing Pad Cleaner breaks down and removes used polish, paint residue, glaze, sealant, and wax from foam, microfiber, and wool polishing pads. Thorough cleaning is essential to keeping pads from clogging with old product so they can produce professional results. The citrus base of Polishing Pad Cleaner rinses clean from all polishing pads, and leaves no residue that affects the feel or performance of pads.

Clean Pads Last Longer

Machine polishing is a messy affair. Used polish, paint residue, and removed contamination stick inside and clog pads. Without proper cleaning, this residue hardens into a sticky cement that will ruin a pad after only a few uses. Chemical Guys Polishing Pad Cleaner breaks down used polish, removed paint, and stuck-on contamination from foam, microfiber, and wool buffing pads. Use Polishing Pad Cleaner to clean pads to a pristine state to maintain a 'like new' condition. Regular cleaning reduces internal wear and tear, so polishing pads last for dozens of polishing jobs. Simply spray Polishing Pad Cleaner into a used pad, scrub with a stiff pad cleaning brush, and rinse with warm running water.

Polishing and Buffing Pad Conditioner

Chemical Guys Polishing Pad Conditioner lubricates buffing and polishing pads to reduce wear and tear, and produce superior polishing results. Dry rubbing builds up excess heat and friction, which reduces the effectiveness of polish abrasives and wears down buffing pads prematurely. The slick lubricants in Polishing Pad Conditioner extend work time of polish abrasives to produce refined results with fewer passes. Particle abrasives inside polish need a prescribed amount of time to break down and refine the finish as they work. Without the proper lubrication of Polishing Pad Conditioner, water-based compounds can dry out and spread all over the work area in the form of an abrasive dust. Synthetic conditioners open up porous polishing pad foam to evenly spread compound and polish around the pad for consistent cutting power. The combination of proper work time, reduced dry friction, and even breakdown of abrasives and residue control produces superior polishing results in fewer passes.

Designed For The Professional, Perfect For The Enthusiast

TORQX is the perfect first machine polisher for any detailing enthusiast or starting professional. Whether you have one garage queen, two daily drivers, or a fleet of customers’ cars to care for, the TORQX executes every detailing job quickly and easily, and with better results than going by hand alone. The powerful motor, 8mm dual action orbital throw, and compact design deliver powerful and consistent polishing, paint correction, and cleaning results with minimal fatigue and wear on the user. Variable speed controls allow the user to adjust the power output on the fly. Take on aggressive scratch and oxidation removal, scrub spills and stains from carpets, or spread the most exquisite coat of wax over sensitive paint finishes with just one machine.

Switch Backing Plates To Polish Any Area, Large Or Small: Streamlined Integratio

Detailers can easily switch between 3 inch, 5 inch, and 6 inch backing plates for improved versatility. TORQ Tools applied a Streamlined Integration engineering approach to make the TORQX accept 3’’, 5’’, and 6’’ backing plates without extensive modifications, or voiding of warranties. Simply use the included TORQ wrench to remove and swap backing plates to handle any size job. Traditional dual action polishers require extensive modification and counterweight changes to change pad sizes without voiding the warranty. Different detailing jobs require different size buffing pads and backing plates. The TORQX comes equipped with a durable 5” backing plate for use with all 5.5 inch buffing and polishing pads. 5.5’’ pads strike the perfect balance to polish flat and curved panels with ease.

Balanced Ergonomic Design (BED): Comfort During Extended Use

TORQ engineers designed the TORQX to work with the user for enhanced comfort and superior polishing results. The extended comfort front handle grip, tailored body length, and 5’’ backing plate size maximize leverage and polishing efficiency, and minimize the pressing force needed to polish paint effectively. TORQ engineers also placed the speed control dial in the middle of the body of the TORQX: right above the user’s thumb during operation. Intuitive placement of speed controls keeps detailers focused on the job with adjustments easily made on the fly. Integrated cooling vents channel air through the handle to cool the motor, buffing head, and counterweight for extended polishing jobs and machine lifespan. The power switch is tucked away from the action at the back end of the machine, and is easily reached while still controlling the machine through shutdown with one hand.

TORQ Forward Grip (TFG): Designed For The Detailer

Poor machine ergonomics leads to fatigue, sore joints, numb arms and fingers, and poor polishing results. TORQ engineers use an 'outside-in' design approach to fit the machine to the user’s comfort and working conditions. The textured front handle gives superior comfort and control with less fatigue while polishing on any flat or vertical surface. More comfort and control gives users a smoother polishing experience for better polishing results in less time.

Compact And Versatile Detailing Machine

The TORQX Random Orbital Polisher is the perfect first machine for the weekend warrior enthusiast, and also makes a great addition to any professional’s detailing arsenal. The compact form factor of the TORQX makes it perfectly suited for polishing in tight areas on any vehicle. The TORQX uses standard 5/16’’ - 24 spindle thread backing plates; switch to 3’’ backing plates to polish small areas or 6’’backing plates for extra large panels.

Precision Power P² - Power Flex Technology

Electronic control systems increase power smoothly upon startup to reduce wear and tear on the motor and internal components. The built-in Precision Power (P²) controller gradually increases power as speed settings increase. This clever adjustment takes only a fraction of a second, yet greatly improves the life of the motor and moving components, and reduces the likelihood of flinging product off the pad of the machine by managing power fluctuations gradually. The TORQX leads its class in smooth startup and running conditions, and is a pleasant tool to use and work with.

User questions & answers

Question:	What do you put on your vehicle after using the VSS
Answer:	no
Question:	Will it work with 220v
Answer:	As of this writing, Mothers California Gold Synthetic Wax is our newest formula. It is richer, thicker, and has more of the gentle polishes as well as better durability. It effectively replaces FX SynWax, which has been discontinued. The Reflections Car Wax and Top Coat, when used together, is a quite different formulation and is two steps vs. the one-step California Gold Synthetic Wax. Personal preference starts coming into play when you start comparing such different products, but I'd suggest the Synthetic Wax for most applications on paint in good- to excellent condition.
Question:	Is this a large stroke polisher
Answer:	Carpro ech2o advertises itself as a clay lubricant so *might* by appropriate. However, personally I would use a high quality car wash with good lubricity (currently using Meguirs Gold and it's very good) if I was claying during washing. If I was doing a more comprehensive clean where I was stripping the wax off the vehicle, I would use a spray bottle with dish soap and water.
Question:	Fo you have a video review of the polisher
Answer:	Clays -- whether traditional poly clay or clay substitutes -- do not generally remove water spots, unless they are light mineral deposits. Etching generally requires a glass polish for glass; or a paint polish or compound for paint. Water spots and etching can vary greatly depending on the cause of the etching.
