• Interface: Elastic
• Application: Rapid defect removal, Compound

The ADBL Wool Pad with a 150 mm diameter is designed for fast and effective defect removal on painted surfaces. The elastic interface ensures even pressure transfer against the substrate and reduces the risk of uneven correction. The pad is compatible with both DA polisher and rotary polisher machines.

The short wool fibre delivers aggressive yet controlled action against deeper scratches, oxidation, and other paint defects. Thanks to the elastic interface, the pad conforms to the contours of the bodywork, helping to maintain contact with the surface throughout the entire polishing process.

What is a Wool Pad and why choose it?

A Wool Pad is a polishing pad made from wool fibre and is used primarily in the first stage of a polishing process – that is, for aggressive defect removal and Compound work. The wool fibre creates a high level of friction that effectively breaks down deeper scratches and oxidised paint layers without requiring an excessive number of passes.

ADBL's variant with short wool fibre and an elastic interface is a well-balanced choice for those who need rapid material removal whilst maintaining control. The elastic interface sets this pad apart from stiffer alternatives and contributes to a more even result, particularly on curved bodywork panels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the ADBL Wool Pad 150 mm remove deep scratches and oxidation?

Yes, the ADBL Wool Pad Short Fibre 150 mm Elastic is designed specifically for aggressive defect removal. The short wool fibre generates sufficient friction to effectively work on deeper scratches and oxidised paint layers when used in combination with a suitable Compound. The elastic interface contributes to even pressure transfer, which helps to avoid uneven polishing results.

What size and machine type is the ADBL Wool Pad ADB000497 compatible with?

The ADBL Wool Pad Short Fibre 150 mm Elastic has a diameter of 150 mm and fits standard backing plates for this size. The pad is compatible with both DA polisher and rotary polisher machines. The elastic interface makes it particularly well-suited to curved bodywork panels where a stiffer pad risks losing contact with the surface.

How does the ADBL Wool Pad differ from a standard Foam Pad of the same size?

The ADBL Wool Pad Short Fibre 150 mm Elastic differs from a Foam Pad primarily in terms of aggressiveness and heat management. The wool fibre works more aggressively against paint defects and is suited to the first stage of a multi-stage polishing process, whilst a Foam Pad is typically used for fine polishing or the application of Polish and Coating. The Wool Pad also generates more heat, which requires the operator to work at the correct speed and pressure setting. See more polishing pads in our range to compare alternatives.
