Its fine polishing action is specifically suited to polishing out swirl marks and developing a deep, brilliant shine after the preceding correction stages have been completed. Festool recommends using the white sponge together with \u003cstrong\u003eMPA 11010\u003c\/strong\u003e fine polishing compound for a coordinated finishing system. With a diameter of 180 mm and a height of 30 mm, the sponge provides a generous working area for efficient polishing of larger surfaces while retaining enough cushioning to follow gentle contours. The PoliStick hook-and-loop backing allows the sponge to be attached securely to the appropriate polishing pad and changed quickly when moving between polishing stages. Supplied as a professional pack of five identical fine white polishing sponges.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eWhite identifies the fine polishing stage\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eFestool uses colour coding across its polishing sponge range to make the different polishing stages easy to identify.

More substantial defects are dealt with using the appropriate coarse or medium polishing stage. The white fine sponge is then used near the end of the process to refine remaining swirl marks and develop the deep gloss expected from a properly finished surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eWhy Festool pairs the white sponge with MPA 11010\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003ePolishing performance depends on both the compound and the sponge. Festool specifically recommends MPA 11010 with the white fine sponge so that the polishing action of the compound is matched to the finishing characteristics of the pad. Using a coordinated compound-and-sponge combination helps produce predictable, repeatable results.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003e180 mm for efficient large-area polishing\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 180 mm diameter provides greater surface coverage than smaller polishing sponges, making it especially useful on broad panels and other larger surfaces.
