Re: My Pad Prediction - Smaller Wool Cutting Pads for smaller rotary polishers
I used to have 6.5" Meguiar's wool (w4000 style) pads in the 90's. I always wondered what happened to them...

Totally agree Mike. Although not carried by Autogeek I do have some black lambs wool pads for my PE8 in 2in/3in diameters along with some 5in black lambs wools for my full size rotary.

Re: My Pad Prediction - Smaller Wool Cutting Pads for smaller rotary polishers
The only issues I've had with the older tradition Lake Country wool pads is that I've never been a fan of the recessed backing or the linting. I feel like the latest 6" LC lambswool cutting pads are virtually perfect. I know the deep recess backing is safety measure on traditional wool cutting pads and I understand that the latest lambswool cutting pads won't cut as much, but they are so much easier and cleaner to use. I would love if LC also took the latest 6" lambswool cutting pad design and used twisted wool rather than lambswool but kept everything else the same.

Apparently there are new 3”,5”,6” LC and BnS wool pads designed for use on all types of polishers releasing soon. This is really awesome as I prefer wool over microfibre in cutting anyday.

Re: My Pad Prediction - Smaller Wool Cutting Pads for smaller rotary polishers
I’ve had my rotary polisher for around 20 years and have only had one wool pad. I think the wool scared me, and I didn’t know how to properly clean it. I need to look at getting a new wool pad. The wool pad has been long gone 15 years ago.
I was just compounding with a 5in light cutting orange LC CCS pad, I really would have benefited from a small wool pad. I would like to try a small wool pad for my one and two inch Flex rotary backing plates. That would be an interesting looking pad.

5" pads would be great. Good call Mike. I have both Flex cordless machines on preorder and hope the pads will be available soon.

I tested a 5.5" wool pad last night on the FLEX Cordless, I liked the size. Have not made up my mind on the pile length as of yet.
