I am sure this has been beaten to death, but the archive only goes back two pages so...............


Pad choice for applying Klasse twins?


I have white, grey, mf bonnet and cotton bonnet. For use with velcro backplate.


Not opposed to picking up a new pad or two, just need to do this next weekend.


Thoughts?

(I should add, no real correction needed at this point, just application & removal)

 

If you like operating at a higher speed, go with white (for AIO). If you have the need to keep it slow, go with the grey. The white may offer a little polishing while your at it. Its a super light compound used for fine polishes. Grey, mandatory with the SG. And go slow and lean.........

 

Cool, thanks.

Levelling Pads (Wool)
Are made from 100% natural lambs wool (do not use synthetic wool) are usually used to level a paint film surface with an abrasive machine polish (compound) or to apply a polish to large areas
Wool pads used wet or dry produce the most paint surface `compounding haze' (40 PPI)


4 Ply 100% Twisted Wool
Each strand of high grade wool fibre is tightly twisted, allowing our pad to stay at a consistent level of aggression for longer periods of operation. Choose from 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2" and 2" pile lengths. Choose shorter pile for your most aggressive compounding and longer pile for aggressive compounding with greater durability.


Electrified White Sheepskin
The electrification process removes the microscopic barbs from the hairs in the wool resulting in a soft and effective compounding material that does not scratch the painted surface.
Choose from 3", 4", and 5" diameters with a 1/2" or 3/4" pile height.


Lake Counties (LC) A patented process encapsulates the base of the lamb’s wool fibres with microscopic polyurethane foam particles. Cuts like natural sheepskin but finishes like a foam pad. Aggressively removes 1500 - 2000 grit scratches, leaving a lustrous finish with no hazing by reducing compounding swirls. Foamed fibres resist matting and compression. Foaming process also creates minute air pockets at the base of the fibres, which improves cushioning and retention of compounds and polishes.
