New Product Intro: HD Turkish Lamb’s Wool Paint Correction Pads





Here is another great buffing tool designed to level away defects from automotive surfaces like paint, aluminum & glass. These extra durable pads keep the surface cooler than traditional correction pads and offer precise cutting power leaving behind a superb post correction finish. The days of only using wool pads on rotary buffers are a consideration of the past. And just like wool typically being synonymous with heavy correction, with this new European technology you will also enjoy the improved cutting action of these pads via DA and forced rotation mediums as well. Not only do these pads utilize the latest in super-strong adhesives to keep the backing assembly in place, but it also incorporates extra fine fiber reinforced stitching around the edge to secure greater strength. The specially designed strands do a wonderful job of holding the abrasive particles during buffing allowing for longer cycles and less debris load up. They also spur clean very well and retain their natural shape creating greater extended use without any troublesome shedding.



I have actually been testing these pads since SEMA last year and I can definitely say that they are a complete pleasure to work with. This technology was actually discovered by 3D owner Tunch Goren in a recent visit to his home in Istanbul, Turkey where he requested a manufacturer to exclusively source these pads for his application. I can say with certainty that you will not find another pad on the market similar to this. They originally were tested in a yellowish tan color, but have since been updated to black for final production. Available in 5 & 6 inch sizes. Please stay tuned for pricing and online ordering through 3D Car Care - Car Wash, Car Wax, Auto Detailing supplies, Car Polishers, Car Buffers & accessories store























 
I've been using these pads pretty exclusively and they just plain work and work well. I still have and use the one from SEMA (along with others) and it's holding up great. I remember cleaning it in the pad washer and it getting revived great.
 
looks very nice David, I wish the backing was all the way to the pads edge as that's how I like my pads

Australian wool has been fun to use for decades but these wool pads look great.



I am keen to order and test these when I arrive in America in June
 
Definitely have to try them out. I've got a few white foamed wool pads I got a long time ago that definitely up the cut with a DA. I can imagine a more modern pad design would be even better.
 
Good deal. I have a few of the older incarnation of these and have to say that they did shed quite a bit. Hopefully the new version will not have these issues.
 
These look similar to a pad I saw hidden at sema at a vendor near the 3D booth. If they are the same, they looked to be amazing pads :)
 
[BWhen the pads are brand new, put them on a rotary and spur the heck out of them. That will reduce that shedding problem.[/B]

Yup, these are the ones! I was exclusively using this pad with HD CUT to remove heavy sand scratches from our test panel. I fell in love with them then. I actually was able to bring one home to play with and have used it on a bunch of cars and it's still as good as brand new.

These pads are not like traditional wool. There isn't a need to spur as they do not shed.

compare to surbuf pads please....ah heck, I might just go pick one up today

Did you ever pick one up yet?? I have not had the chance to compare these to SBs. I can assure you that the finish these pads leave are superior to them though. Very faint marring that easily polishes away.

Are they more effective than Tuf Buf wool pads? The wool looks finer on these pads, but is the result different?

How do these differ from the previous black lambswool pads?

I've been using the TufBuf pads exclusively for about 20 years. These pads are a night and day improvement over them.

They cut better

They finish better

They clean better

They last longer

They hold the liquid better

They aren't skrunchy feeling like the TB's

Awsome on a DA, even better on a DA.

Denser fibers pilings

European manufactured vs USA :)
 
I'll try some of these the next time I order pads. My biggest complaint with the Tuf Buf pads is that I seem to tear them up quickly. I'll use 3-4 of them per detail and I'll usually only get 3-4 details out of these 3-4 pads.
 
I will watch closely . If all we have to do is go straight to a polishing pad afterwards, they sound like gold to me. Is it still a good idea to purchase one pad per polish/ use one polish per pad even though those are surely really washable?

Were the previous HD black lambswool pads from Tufbuf?

Yes sir.

These Turkish pads will certainly last alot longer. I have yet to wear mine original one on after several cars. Stick kicking like a karate master.

I'm wondering how these would compare to Meguiar's MF Cutting Disks :think:

Very well and very different actually. I like and use both. I've seen scenarios where 1 pad worked better than the other and vise versa. I won't forget the time I was doing a correction on an old Aston with a recent (withing 5 year) repaint that had about medium softness. Was working in so-so lighting conditions, but checking my work via brinkman after each pass and making additional passes as needed. I started at the trunk and by the time I got to the quarter panels where they rolled up into the roof I needed something more flexible so I swapped for the Turkish Wool pad. It worked like incredible and extremely quick. I move onto the next panel and hands down I immediately noticed it was cutting through 100% of the defects like it was nothing. It took 2 passes with the MF pads to accomplish this on the trunk and quarter. I've seen it cut harder in several other applications as well, but certain times I notice more marring with the wool. But not to the point where a finishing polish doesn't remove it.

Bill - I kinda touched on your 1st question in my response to Accumulator's post above. I have yet seen marring from these pads that a finishing pad won't easily remove. I still stand by my comment to have atleast 1 of these pads in your arsenal. Even though washing these pads aren't recommended, I used a LC Pad Washer to wash my original pad @ SEMA last year(after every pass/demo) and it's still holding up great.
