Made entirely from natural wool fibers, the pads are shaped to mount on standard hook-and-loop backing plates and are washable for multiple uses. They’re intended to be used with polishing compounds, cutting pastes or powders to speed paint correction before refining with a softer finishing pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these wool pads speed up paint correction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dense natural wool fibers lift and distribute compound quickly, creating more cutting action per pass than most foam or microfiber pads.
