LC Purple Foamed Wool Pad.

You'll love the rotary. I love mine. I can't wait to use it again, but I'm waiting for a few to do more work to my car (birthday is coming up, and my girl said she was getting me detail stuff!).

Wool pads are easier to use, less forgiving than foam pads on a rotary.

I am planning to use them on really damaged paints,or on hard to remove defects..
Otherwise i am going to use my DA polisher until i am 100% sure that i can use the rotary without problems...I know that there is a lot of practice waiting for me...
Are the wool pads divided like foam pads?(Cutting,polishing,finishing etc)???

Some are little more agressive than others but not much.

Yeah you'll still need a white, blue, black, red, or new gold LC foam pads for jeweling the paint, and applying LSP
