RUPES Smartfix Double Sided Coarse Wool

Why you'll want it

• Two working faces for more use. The pad has a wool face on each side. When one face is loaded or worn, turn it over and keep going on the other.
• Strong cutting power on paint defects. Its 100% natural wool is twisted to give strong cutting power, and it feels smooth and controlled as you work.
• Less risk of rotary swirl marks. The pad is made to lower the chance of rotary swirl marks when you do correction work, so there are fewer marks to fix afterward.
• Get paint defects fixed before winter storage. Fall is a good time to get paint defects fixed before haul-out and winter storage. This pad is made for fast defect removal, so the work can be done over the winter.

What it is

The RUPES Smartfix Double Sided Coarse Wool is a polishing pad made by RUPES. It is made from twisted wool, has a coarse grade, and has two faces so you can flip it. It is made for rotary polishers, for removing defects during detailing or correction work.

How to use it

1. Press the pad onto its hook-and-loop backing plate so it sits firmly on your rotary polisher.
2. Add your cutting compound of choice.
3. Move the pad over the surface in neat sections that overlap a little.
4. When one face is loaded or worn, turn the pad over and use the other wool face.
5. Use a brush or pad cleaning tool during the job to clear out compound and residue.
6. Let the pad air out fully before you put it away.

What else the job needs

Good to have on hand: a rotary polisher with a compatible hook-and-loop backing plate, a cutting compound, and a brush for cleaning the pad. Pairs well with the rest of a detailing kit.
