Why Use Wool? Wool pads are designed and developed to transfer more heat from the polisher to the paint surface than traditional foam pads.

The tight twisting allows the pad to operate at a consistent level of aggressiveness for longer periods of time in order to d4eliver a more even and accurate cut.

Follow these general rules for better results from your wool pads:
Make it a practice to periodically check the pad during the buffing process.
Clean the pad when the pad surface begins to glaze over from compound/polish build up.
Quick cleaning of Wool Pad can be achieved by spurring the pad.
Wash Pads well after use with PAD WASHER .
After washing, do not dry pads with high heat as this promotes wool shrinkage.
Let pads air dry or spin them out inside the Pad Washer.
Keep pads in a clean and dry location when not being used. This will minimize foreign particles from coming in contact with the buffing surface the next time you use the pad.
