Premium 3 inch Wool Pad, Lambswool (2 Pack)
This premium 3 inch wool pad is a lambswool pad made for small areas. It takes out moderate to heavy imperfections where a 6″ or 8″ buffing pad will not reach.
A Must-Have Pad for Modern Car Designs
Today’s cars are full of tight curves, body lines, and small areas. A 6″ or 8″ buffing pad just won’t reach them. That’s why the 3 inch wool pad is a must-have in every detailer’s kit.
In the last decade, detailing work has come under the microscope. Ceramic coating jobs demand as close to perfection as you can get. If you or your client are shooting for a perfect, show-quality detail, you can’t reach that level without a 3 inch pad working the spots a big pad misses. Worse, a big pad forced into those spots can burn the paint and cause other damage to your or your client’s prized possession.
There’s also high demand for polishing the plastic headlights that turn yellow on newer cars. For headlight work, the 3 inch buffing pad is a must.
Where to Use the 3 Inch Wool Pad
Reach for this pad anywhere a big pad can’t get a clean, flat pass, including:
- Around side mirrors
- Around door handles
- Around emblems
- Bumpers
- Spoilers
- Plastic headlights
- A pillars, B pillars, and C pillars
Who Uses It
High-quality detail shops, show car owners, and anyone pursuing perfection on their detail jobs. If the goal is to get every part of the job polished, this pad belongs in your pad arsenal.
We recommend getting two sets. 3 inch wool pads wear out fast, and they’re easily blown off the car by any bit of wind. Once a pad lands on the floor, it isn’t usable until it’s washed or cleaned again.
Fits Your Polisher
Use this 3 inch wool pad on a DA, rotary, or gear-driven (direct drive) polisher.
Pair It With 3D Compounds
The 3 inch wool pad pairs easily with 3D ACA 500 X-Tra Cut Compound, 3D ACA 510 Premium Rubbing Compound, and 3D AAT 501 Cutting Compound.
Keep the Pad Clean
A small 3 inch wool pad clogs up fast. The compound only has a 3″ area to sit on, and you tend to work at a slower pace, so clogging happens faster and easier.
Always keep a spare dry pad nearby, along with a Vortex II Dry Air Cleaning Gun or a Vortex JR V-050 Dry Air Cleaning Gun and a spray bottle filled with water. Mist the pad, then blow it dry. While one pad is air drying, pick up your second pad. For the best results, always keep your pad clean.
Washing Your Pads
When the job is done, wash your wool pads on the gentle cycle with 3D Towel Keen detergent.
- 3″ lambswool pad
