Renegade Pipe Pads were developed with the input of polishing professionals looking for a gentler polish appropriate for chrome plating and stainless steel while also offering a more convenient user experience for our everyday customers.

Care must be taken when polishing chromed surfaces, as the chromium plating is relatively fragile and can be prone to chipping and delamination. Furthermore, the stripping and re-plating process can be expensive, so it's best to properly care for your chrome-plated surfaces.

These pads are also great for use on steel because of their ability to refine the scratches and imperfections on steel without requiring a more aggressive full-polish to address the hardness of the metal.

Traditionally, Pipe Dream Chrome Conditioner would be stored in its bottle, applied onto a terry cloth towel or applicator pad, applied to the work surface with the applicator of choice, and cleaned off with a microfiber towel. What Pipe Dream Pads aim to do is to combine and consolidate a few of those steps in a convenient package. 

Our Pipe Dream Pads consolidate and combine a few of those steps by offering you 10 Prep Pads that come pre-saturated in our Pipe Dream Chrome Conditioner. These pads are effective for both application and agitation purposes. Once you have attained a satisfactory polish, simply remove the excess polish and buff the work piece appropriately with a clean microfiber towel, and that's it--a tub and towel are all you really need.

The chrome-plated and steel features on your vehicle tend to take a beating from the elements, road debris, and other outside factors. Without proper care, you can end up with hazy, chipped, pitted, chrome or scratched-up steel that may allow for the development of rust or weaken over time. With Renegade Pipe Pads, it's very easy to achieve that care, as it helps to neutralize oxidation and wear on your chrome-plated and steel surfaces.

How to use Renegade Pipe Pads

To maximize results, make sure that the surface to be polished has been properly and thoroughly cleaned and dried. If there are stains or build up of any kind, use our Renegade Savage APC (All-Purpose Cleaner) to prepare the surface.

Step 1 - Remove the Pipe Pad and apply the saturated pad to your work surface.

Proper usage dictates that you should first apply in a circular motion to more effectively break up the oxidation and impurities until the polish and work surface begin to darken, then "finish" in linear motions for a more consistent finish.

Let dry for about 3 minutes.

Step 2 - Use a clean microfiber towel to remove the excess polish and to buff the surface to a brilliant shine. This should be done in the same linear direction used when polishing.

Pro tip: Pipe Pads can be re-used and stored in their original container. Pipe Pads can be used until the pad material begins to break down, at which point it should be discarded.
