Hi folks,
I just got my Makita today (yeah birthdays  )
Can anyone give me some info on the wool pad that comes with the kit?
I've always used foam when I borrowed the shop Makita, so I'm a little scared to use wool for the 1st time
Thanks

That wool is pretty serious. You're certainly not going to finish hologram free with it either. I would just toss it and buy some quality wool. You're going to have to order some other pads and backing plates anyway even if you did use it (to clean up the mess it leaves). Keep the backing plate though, it works with LC PFW 6.5". | |

Thanks Cush,
I just put my order in for some Lake County CCS foam pads. I guess it's best to stay with what I know...
I'm really glad now that I didn't try that wool pad out on that dark blue Civic I did yesterday. It could have been a scary 1st day with my new toy  | |

I think you'll find that they work much better/safer/easier/faster than cutting foam. | |

Does anyone know how I can change the title of this post??? 
I accidentally put 7227, but I know the model code is 9227 and it's driving me nuts to see that mistake every day  | |

I am convinced (though probably worng!) that Shlegal makes the Makita "pads". I have the full wool and polishing wool from Shelga (that I love) and it feels and looks identical to the Makita verisons...
I have used their full wool pad on paint and felt it performs just as well. | |

Purple foam wool pads are not all the same, AG and ADS have the 1' thick ones, I thought I was getting a deal from TOL and then I discovered those were .75" thick, it doesn't look like much and they work the same. But I thought I'd share my experience in case anybody was shopping. | |

The Makita wool feels just like all the other twisted wool pads. IMO not a bad pad, nice for heavy correction. | |
