Made from natural wool hooked fibers with a hook-and-loop backing, the pads are washable and reusable, offering a high cut rate while helping you prepare a surface for finishing with a softer foam pad. They are suited for automotive paint correction, marine gelcoat work, and wood surface restoration when a more aggressive material is needed to correct defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does a wool pad differ from foam for polishing and cutting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWool pads deliver a higher cut rate than most foam pads, removing defects faster thanks to their dense, hooked fibers. They are best used as the first step in a multi-stage process, followed by progressively softer pads for gloss and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigher mechanical abrasion for quick defect removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBest for oxidation, orange peel, and sanding marks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFollow with a finishing foam pad for shine and clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse moderate speed and pressure to avoid overheating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich surfaces and problems are these SPTA wool pads suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese medium-cut pads work well on automotive clear coats, single-stage paints, gelcoat and sealed wood finishes when you need to remove visible defects.
