Built for professionals and experienced detailers, the pad converts more of the tool's motion into cutting action while remaining compatible with RUPES LHR21 and LK900E machines.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow fast will this pad remove heavy defects?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Precision Pro coarse wool pad is intended for significant correction tasks such as heavy oxidation, deep scratches, and thick buffer trails. It aggressively lifts compound from the surface, shortening cycle times compared with softer pads. Use controlled passes and appropriate polishing compounds to avoid excess heat buildup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for heavy-cut correction and rapid material removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStiffer blue foam backing transfers more tool movement to the surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks best with coarse polishes and controlled machine speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich machines and sizes is it compatible with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pad is sized Ø160mm to match standard 6-inch backing plates and was formulated for use on dual-action RUPES polishers.

Clean the pad after each session by brushing out residue and using pad cleaner or compressed air; machine-washable options depend on manufacturer guidance.

Following with progressively finer pads and finishing polish will restore clarity and depth. Plan for a two-step or three-step process on delicate or high-gloss finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCoarse cut may need a medium or finishing pass afterward\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse polishing progression for high-gloss surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTest in an inconspicuous area to determine required follow-up steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\nThis single-pad SKU is ideal for detailers who need aggressive cutting capability in a compact, easy-to-fit size. It suits technicians working on older or damaged finishes, restoration projects, and prep work before paint correction sequences. If you prefer a milder approach, consider medium or finishing pads in the RUPES range, but choose the 9.NW160H when removing heavy defects quickly and efficiently.\n\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use this pad on any dual-action polisher?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes if the polisher accepts a Ø160mm backing plate; it’s specifically recommended for RUPES LHR21 and LK900E.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How do I clean the 9.NW160H pad after use?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Brush out residue, rinse with pad cleaner or water as appropriate, and let air-dry; replace when fibers lose effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"RUPES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48084376813726,"sku":"B0DTM4TG8Y","price":30.48,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/rupes-coarse-wool-pad-front-view.jpg?v=1785852386","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/rupes-blue-wool-polishing-pad-o160mm-precision-pro-coarse-for-da-polishers-fits-lhr21-lk900e","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
