Black/White Wool Pad, 890146

The Presta 890146 Black & White Wool Compounding Pad is a high‑performance, heavy‑cut buffing pad designed for restoring and refining painted, gelcoat, or clearcoat surfaces. Engineered for professionals and serious detailers, it combines aggressive cutting power with control and durability.

Features & Benefits

• Heavy Cut / Aggressive Abrasion
  Made of 100% twisted wool, this pad excels at removing deeper sanding scratches, oxidation, swirl marks, or heavy imperfections. 

• Single‑Sided, Hook & Loop Attachment
  The pad is single‑faced and attaches securely to backing plates via a hook & loop interface, allowing quick changes and strong grip during high-speed buffing. 

• Recessed Cup Design
  It incorporates a recessed center (cup) that helps prevent the backing plate from contacting the work surface, reducing risk of pad footprint marks or damage.

• Optimal Dimensions

  • Diameter: 9 in 

  • Wool Pile Thickness: ~ 1¼ in (some sources list up to 1½ in) 

  • Color Scheme: Black & White wool blend — visually indicative of its compounding / cutting role 

• Durability & Cleaning
  The twisted wool construction offers extended life in demanding use, and it can be cleaned (e.g. with pad cleaner or compressed air) to maintain performance. 

• Compatibility
  Designed for use with rotary or dual action polishers, particularly for heavy defects, compounding, or paint correction work.
