Wool pads are often the pad of choice for marine polishing as they offer moderate (medium) to severe (coarse) defect removal and increased cutting power over foam pads. This is especially important while working with large surfaces and can reduce the time spent on each area.

Benefits: The coarse pad can remove severe defects more efficiently than foam pads. The medium pad offers a more flexible backing and longer fibres for a better finish while still be effective on moderate defects.

Formats: Coarse Wool & Medium Wool
