Professional grade wool pads from Lake Country! Professionals use wool pads on their rotary polishers to restore dull, oxidized finish and bring it back to a show-stealing shine. With a little expertise, you too can discover why wool is the professional's choice for restoration projects. * I would like to note that wool pads are more aggressive than foam and therefore we recommend them for professional use. If you've never used wool pads or you are new to machine compounding, we suggest you start with a Porter Cable 7424 Dual Action Polisher and foam pads. Wool pads can be deceptive; they feel fluffy and even soft to the touch but they heat up quickly during use. The heat enables the pad to effectively level imperfections, but it can also burn the finish if the pad is left in the same spot for any amount of time. Keep the pad moving at all times to protect the surface from the heat. A watchful eye and a steady hand will give you great results. To further guard your boat against possible heat build-up, Lake Country wool pads feature a revolutionary polymer backing material called SURLYN®. This is a thermoplastic polymer backing that adds tremendous strength to the pad even when exposed to extreme temperatures. SURLYN® backed pads will last twice as long as conventionally backed pads thanks to cutting edge polymer engineering. With SURLYN® backing, these wool pads will outperform any wool pad you've used in the past. 8.5 inch Hook & Loop Twisted Wool Cutting Pad
Lake Country's Wool Cutting Pad is made of 100% wool twisted into hundreds of individual strands. The tight twisting allows the pad to operate at a consistent level of aggressiveness for longer periods. With a 1.5 inch pile, the pad will hold up to many, many uses. The pad has a diameter of 8.5 inches but the thick pile gives it an overall diameter of 10 inches. You'll be able to cover a lot of paint in a little time with this large wool pad. The Wool Cutting Pad is intended for severe swirls, scratches and heavy oxidation. Because this is a more aggressive pad, you'll want to use a compound to get the best results. 8.5 inch Hook & Loop Knitted Wool Polishing Pad
Lake Country's Wool Polishing Pad is made of 100% knitted wool that is both fluffy and dense. The knitting creates a plush, uniform surface that polishes the surface to a bright shine. The density of the knitted wool provides an ample cushion between the backing plate and the paint surface. The Knitted Wool Polishing Pad is intended to polish the paint and remove minor swirls and oxidation. Use a polish or a mild swirl remover for the best results. A note about fluffing a wool pad: Wool pads are known to cake up but it's an easy fix. With the polisher turned off, lay it down on the ground with the pad facing up. Set the speed to the lowest setting and turn it on. Hold a pad spur against the pad as it turns. The pile will fluff up in just a few seconds. Your other option is to have 3 or 4 wool pads on hand so you can simply switch pads when one becomes caked. Use our 8.5 inch foam pads to refine and smooth the finish following compounding. All of our 8.5 inch pads use the 7 inch rotary backing plate. Lake Country's 8.5 inch Hook & Loop Wool Pads work with any rotary polisher. The 100% wool pile and SURLYN® backing ensure consistent, professional results every time you polish. Wool Pad Features:
