They’re washable and reusable, fit most standard backup plates, and pair best with a finishing foam pad to refine the surface after aggressive correction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these wool pads speed up paint correction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural wool fibers grab and distribute compound more aggressively than foam, producing faster material removal and quicker correction of defects. That means fewer passes and reduced time on deep oxidation, sanding marks, and hard clear coats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e100% natural wool for higher cut rate; removes defects faster than foam\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoarse grade optimized for heavy cutting and oxidation removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHook-and-loop backing for quick pad changes on most polishers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\" (125 mm) diameter fits common backing plates for both rotary and DA machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill these pads work with my polisher and compounds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the SPTA coarse wool pads are compatible with most pneumatic, corded, and cordless polishers that accept 5\" hook-and-loop pads.
