Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this pad different from a foam pad?
Unlike foam pads, the Gold Standard Wool Cutting Pad offers stronger cutting ability thanks to its short-nap wool fibers. It levels down heavy imperfections faster while the foam interface adds control and cushioning.
Can this pad be used for spot repairs or full panels?
Absolutely. Use the smaller 3” size for targeted correction in tight areas, or go with 5” or 6” for larger surfaces like doors, hoods, and roof panels.
Will it leave haze or micro-marring?
It may leave light haze on softer paints after heavy correction. That’s expected with any aggressive pad and is why a follow-up polish and finishing pad is recommended for optimal clarity.
How do I extend the life of the pad?
Avoid overloading it with product, keep it clean between passes, and rinse it out thoroughly after use. Let it dry face-down or hang it by the backing to maintain its shape.
***Please note, the pads are tapered - smaller at the base (where it attaches to the backing plate) and wider at the polishing surface. The size is based on the backing plate dimension.
Can be used with DA or Rotary if needed
