Polishing Pads (Fig. 2)

MILWAUKEE polishing pads are available in two different materials. 100% lambswool pads are ideal for compounding on non-clearcoat fin- ishes. Wool/polyester blend pads are softer, making them acceptable for clearcoat finishes. Refer to the chart below to select the proper pad for your application.
