Re: Wool pad
Its just a more aggressive pad.
It would be used with a rotary for severe defects.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR Blue -
Re: Wool pad
Much faster cut with rotary buffers.
If you need fast paint removal, for example after sanding, that's a really good pad to go with.
Wool pads tend to leave their own stuff behind, mostly swirls.Comment

Re: Wool pad
Wool vs. Foam
Pro -faster cutting generates less friction induced heat and therefore leaves the surface cooler, removes heavy oxidation much more efficiently than a form pad. Use foam pad for slower and finer cutting. Wool pads are easier to control compared to foam. They glide as the wool nap ‘lies down’ and will conform to vehicle body shape easily. Make certain to spur the wool fibres when it loads up with product.
Con -wool can leave micro marring (buffer trails) finish with a foam pad to remove. Don’t overwork the polish as wool will break diminishing abrasives faster than foam, the surface lubricants will dry up faster and you could end up dry buffing unless you’re careful.
There are too many variables with different wool and foam types, along with too many compounds to give a definite choice.~ Providing unbiased advice that Professional and Enthusiast Detailer’s Trust ~ Blog – http://togwt1980.blogspot.comComment
