    Wool pads lifespane

    Today for the first time I used Zvizzer rotary wool pad 80 mm for the headlights polishing and was shocked as it lost almost half the fibres with just that headlights polishing.
    Most if the job was done by sanding and wool pad just need to polish them with fine polishing paste.
    What is your oppinion? How long yours wool pads lasts?
    Left one is used pad and right is new one.

    I don't know how long those wool pads will last, but if you wet sand down to 3000 grit, you won't need a wool pad to remove the sanding marks.

    You are correct....I sand it up to 3000 and want to test this wool pad with Zvizzer one step polish.
    That combo did perfect job except "half of the pad missing" :-)

    Sounds like the durability is not very good. I would try another pad or system.

    Not familiar with those pads but my wool pads last years and get used a lot. Lake Country wool pads are amazing.
