The set includes multiple pads and a threaded backing plate to get you started on paint correction, oxidation removal and heavy compounding tasks. Because wool cuts faster than foam, these pads are useful where material removal is needed before finishing with finer pads or polishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these wool pads speed up cutting and defect removal?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural wool fibers have denser, springy loft that agitates compound more aggressively than foam.
