Twisted Wool Pad

Heavy correction

The Twisted Wool Pad is an aggressive cutting pad for first-stage correction on heavily oxidised or deeply scratched surfaces. The twisted fibre construction dissipates heat during sustained rotary work, which reduces the risk of burning through paint on automotive and industrial finishes. It is normally paired with LP-97 Advanced Liquid Rubbing Compound and followed by a finer pad and refinement compound. Because the cut rate is high, establish correct pressure and speed on a test panel first.

Application route

Pad selection and controlled-use sequence

  1. Match the pad to the process stage

    Select wool or foam density according to the required correction, refinement or finishing step.

  2. Inspect the pad before use

    Do not use a contaminated, damaged or misshapen pad on a finished surface.

  3. Use a controlled test area

    Confirm the pad, compound and machine combination before working across the full surface.

  4. Clean and replace as required

    Keep the working face free from excess residue and stop if the pad condition changes.

Twisted Wool Pad FAQs

What is the difference between a twisted wool pad and a lamb's wool pad?

The Lunaris Twisted Wool Pad is designed for aggressive cutting, which suits removing heavy oxidation, deep scratches, and swirl marks. In contrast, the Lunaris Lamb’s Wool Pad is softer and better suited for final polishing and wax application.

Can I use the Lunaris Twisted Wool Pad with any polishing compound?

Yes. This pad works with a variety of polishing compounds, but it pairs best with Lunaris Advanced Liquid Rubbing Compound Step 1 (LP-97) for effective scratch removal and surface correction. Always match the pad and compound to the level of correction needed.

Does this wool pad generate excessive heat during polishing?

No, the twisted wool fibers help dissipate heat efficiently, reducing the risk of paint damage during high-speed rotary polishing. However, always monitor surface temperature and avoid prolonged buffing in one spot.

How do I clean and maintain my twisted wool pad?

After each use, clean the pad with a spur tool or a compressed air blower to remove excess compound buildup. For deeper cleaning, wash with mild soap and warm water, then let it air dry completely before reuse.

Can I use this pad on clear coats and delicate finishes?

While the Lunaris Twisted Wool Pad is safe for automotive paint, it is primarily designed for heavy correction. For delicate finishes or final polishing, switch to the Lunaris Lamb’s Wool Pad or a foam finishing pad to prevent over-aggression.
