A serious cutting pad for serious correction work. The DIY Detail Gold Standard rotary wool pad pairs a long-nap foamed wool face with a foam interface layer — the wool does the cutting, the foam keeps the pad planted on the panel so you stay in contact with the paint where it matters.

Designed to be used with DIY Detail's Gold Standard Polish or Compound, this pad chews through the heavy stuff: sanding marks, deep swirls, RIDS, oxidation, water spots and neglected paint. Follow it up with the Gold Standard Waffle pad and a finishing polish for a true show finish.
