Presta Blue Blended Wool Medium Cutting Pad - 9" Screw-On Pad

Why you'll want it

• Takes out fine sanding scratches. This blended wool pad is made to remove sanding scratches of 2000 grit and lighter, leaving fresh paint smooth and ready to polish.
• Works on car and boat paint. The 9-inch size is meant for efficient coverage on both automotive and marine paint, so one pad suits both jobs.
• Easy care keeps it cutting well. Rinse the pad after each use and let it dry fully before storing. Good care helps it keep its cutting performance.
• Fall is a good time to start. A fall haul-out is a good moment to smooth fresh paint, so your boat is ready when spring comes.

What it is

This is a 9-inch blended wool buffing pad from Presta. It is a medium cut pad, meant to remove sanding scratches on fresh paint. It is double-sided, with a 1-1/2 inch thick wool pile.

How to use it

1. Fasten the pad firmly to a buffer that uses a screw-on connection.
2. Add a suitable compound to the pad.
3. Move the pad over the paint in overlapping passes to take out sanding scratches.
4. Switch to a finer polishing step once the scratches are gone.
5. After each use, rinse the pad well to clear compound residue.
6. Let it air dry fully, then store it in a clean, dust-free spot.

What else the job needs

Good to have on hand: a compatible screw-on buffer and a suitable compound. Finer polishing steps come after this pad. The product description also names a double-sided adapter for attaching the pad.
