What is a Wool Pad and why choose it?

A Wool pad is a polishing pad whose working surface consists of wool fibres – in this case natural sheepskin – which create friction against the paint surface and help to level out scratches, oxidation, and other surface defects. Wool fibres work more aggressively than foam-based pads, making them suitable for Compound and Polish stages where paint correction is required.

The RUPES Wool Pad 130 mm is engineered to deliver consistent performance in combination with RUPES DA polishers. The natural sheepskin is gentle enough to avoid unnecessary heat build-up, whilst being sufficiently effective to handle medium-aggressive polishing tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the RUPES Wool Pad 130 mm work with all types of polishing machines?

The RUPES Wool Pad 130 mm is specifically engineered for use with RUPES DA polishers and their 130 mm backing plates. The Velcro attachment is designed for the RUPES system, and optimum results are achieved when the pad is used together with RUPES machines. Use with other brands of polishing machine may produce varying results depending on the backing plate diameter and Velcro standard.

What size and material is the RUPES Wool Pad 130 mm, and which polishing stage is it suited to?

The RUPES Wool Pad 130 mm has a diameter of 130 mm and is manufactured from natural sheepskin. The pad is intended for medium-aggressive polishing, meaning it is suited to Compound and Polish stages where surface scratches, oxidation, or other paint defects need to be corrected. It is not primarily intended as a finish pad for final gloss.

How does the RUPES Wool Pad 130 mm differ from a foam pad of the same size?

The RUPES Wool Pad 130 mm works with natural sheepskin wool fibres, which provides a higher mechanical aggressiveness compared to a foam pad of the same size. Wool pads are generally more effective for removing deeper surface defects and are suited to Compound stages, whilst softer foam pads are used for Polish and finish stages. For the best final result, it is recommended that the Wool pad treatment be followed by one or more stages with a foam pad. See also RUPES foam pads for finish stages in our range.

How do you clean and maintain the RUPES Wool Pad 130 mm?

The RUPES Wool Pad 130 mm is best cleaned with a pad cleaning brush during use to remove built-up Polish. After use, wash the pad carefully with mild soap and lukewarm water, then allow it to air-dry completely in a horizontal position before reuse. Avoid wringing or pressing the pad firmly during cleaning, as this may damage the wool fibres.
