Built for rotary polishers, angle grinders, and drills with standard hook-and-loop systems, the pads are washable and reusable for long-term value. Follow the initial break-in suggestion of slightly dampening and running at idle to reduce loose fibers before first use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these wool pads perform compared with foam or microfiber?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural wool offers greater aggression than most foam or microfiber alternatives, making it faster at cutting through oxidation, deep scratches, and color-sanding marks.
