Polishing Discs for Bosch and Kärcher Machines
This category features various sizes and hardness levels of polishing pads, polishing discs, and backing pads for Bosch, Kärcher, and other power tools. With their help, floors, metal, stone, and lacquered surfaces, as well as vehicle bodies, can be effectively polished.
Our selection includes universally usable soft and hard pads, solutions that can be mounted on angle grinders, and sets for floor polishing machines. Choose based on diameter, hardness, and compatibility to achieve the perfect surface.
- Bosch compatible polishing pads (e.g., sizes 12.5 cm, 13 cm, 15 cm)
- Kärcher polishing pad and polishing disc sets for floor polishers
- Universal polishing backing pads with hook and loop fastening
- Soft, medium, and hard polishing pads for various surfaces
- Small diameter pads for fine details, corners, and edges
Applications: from floor polishing to automotive detailing
The discs and pads in this category cover a wide range of applications: floor polishing, maintenance of stone and tile surfaces, polishing of furniture and wood surfaces, as well as finishing work after automotive and hobby body polishing. The Kärcher 2.863-196.0 and 2.863-197.0 sets, for example, are ideal specifically for floor polishing machines, while Bosch compatible VHBW pads can be used with various handheld machines.
Soft pads – such as the VHBW Polishing Pad - 15 cm, 20 g, soft – are primarily suitable for fine polishing, applying wax and polish, where gentle material removal is important. Medium hardness versions (e.g., 15 cm, 18–20 g) can be used for general polishing tasks, while hard pads – like the 15 cm, 29 g version – are recommended for stronger corrective work, removing lighter scratches and defects.
Technical Considerations for Choosing the Right Disc
One of the most important parameters in choosing is the diameter. Smaller pads (5.1–7.5 cm) are useful in areas where precise work is needed, such as polishing details, corners, or curves. Discs between 12.5–17.7 cm, on the other hand, are suitable for quickly processing larger surfaces, such as vehicle bodies, parquet, or stone floors.
It is also worth paying attention to the fastening method. The hook and loop (Velcro) solution – such as the VHBW polishing backing pad in the 15.24 cm version – allows for quick changes of pads and stable fitting. It is recommended to choose a solution specifically designed for angle grinders, like the VHBW Angle Grinder Polishing Pad in the 17.7 cm version, which fits the machine's speed and design.
- Diameter: affects work pace and accessibility (small discs for details, large discs for large surfaces).
- Hardness: soft for final polishing, medium for general tasks, hard for correction.
- Weight: weight between 8–29 g also affects the balance and manageability of the machine.
- Compatibility: ensure you choose a pad recommended for your Bosch, Kärcher, or other machine.
- Surface Type: different hardness and structure discs are recommended for lacquered, stone, wood, or plastic surfaces.
For both professional and home use, it is important to choose a pad that matches the machine's maximum speed and always adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations. This way, polishing will not only be more effective but also safer, while surfaces will maintain their shine and aesthetic appearance in the long term.
