Bonnet for 7" pad

[Geek]

Looks like ADS shows bonnet for 6.5" pad.
I'm buying the new washable 7" pad.

Can that bonnet still be used on a larger pad without issue?

By the way, bonnets should be washable, right?

Re: Bonnet for 7" pad

You can use that bonnet on a 7" soft buff 2.0 pad, but it will be a tight fit. It also kind of deformed the cutting pad and I was worried it might start separating the Velcro from foam, so I went back to the 6.5" soft buff pad.

Yes you can wash these.

Any place online to get the bonnet for the 7" buff 2.0 pad?
I'm surprise ADS don't have them........

Re: Bonnet for 7" pad

Just to note, if you're removing wax by machine you want to use a foam cutting pad because it's a stiffer foam and works better for wax removal, the softer polishing and finish pads just don't work as well.

If you dedicated a W-7006 Foam Cutting Pad as your wax removal foam pad, then since it never gets dirty it won't need to be washed.

It does work well or removing wax with a DA Polisher as long as you're laying down a thin coat of wax. Use the polisher on the 5.0 Speed Setting.

Thanks Mike, so use the "older" style W7006?
I read the newer cutting pad is model W7007 which I couldn't find in ADS, and based on some readings it looks like the stiffness of the newer pad makes it better for removing wax applications.

I also don't see a 7" bonnet for the newer buff 2.o 7" pads.....guess they don't have it...

Re: Bonnet for 7" pad

oh. I think the W7006 refers to the older 6.5" pad whereas the W7007 is the newer 7" pad......

I have one 6.5" W7006 cutting pad that is dedicated for use with a microfiber bonnet to remove wax. The W7207 is the newer washable 7" pad.

ADS has the W7006 for $10.95

The part number for the new washable pads look like these,

W7207 Cutting
W8207 Polishing
W9207 Finishing

Sometimes they will be typed like this with a hyphen or dash between the letter and the numbers...

W-7207
W-8207
W-9207

If you want to remove wax by machine, get the small foam cutting pad and a matching bonnet and dedicated the pad to nothing but removing wax.
