Key Features & Benefits

🔹 Higher Foam Content – Lake Country expands on its Purple Foamed Wool concept with more foam, which adds cushioning and firmness and improves the finish.

🔹 Patented Foamed Wool – Lake Country's patented nanofoam process coats the base of the lambswool fibers with microscopic foam particles.

🔹 Built for Rotary and Forced DA – Lake Country describes it as a comfortable and capable cutting pad for rotary or forced DA applications.

🔹 1" Pile – A 1-inch pile of foamed knitted wool for heavy correction.

How to Use

Step 1: Wash and decontaminate the paint, then inspect it under good lighting. Tape off trim, badges, and sharp body lines.

Step 2: Use a rotary or forced (gear-driven) DA polisher. Attach the pad, centered, to a hook-and-loop backing plate no larger than the pad.

Step 3: Prime the pad by working a light, even amount of cutting compound into the fibers, then add a few small drops for the first section.

Step 4: Test a small area first. Work one small section at a time with slow, overlapping passes, and watch panel temperature.

Step 5: Brush out the pad often, then wipe off residue and inspect. Follow with a foam polishing pad for more refinement.

Pro Tip: Wool cuts quickly. Keep the pad moving, watch edges and thin paint closely, and check panel temperature often, especially on a rotary.

Pad Care

Brush out the pad often while you work. Lake Country recommends a standard pad brush for knitted wool pads. To wash, use a pad washer or a washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold or warm water, no more than 10 pads at a time. Hot water can shrink wool, and Lake Country notes that washing with water can slightly alter knitted wool pads. Always let wool pads air dry.

Why We Love It

If you like the Purple Foamed Wool, the Blue Hybrid is the next step. Lake Country adds more foam for a firmer, more cushioned pad that finishes even better, while keeping the fast cut you want from wool.
