This pad is awesome... It stays flat enough while cutting to not leave a lot of haze for you to come back at in your second step. That is due to the short pile of the fibers in it unlike your traditional larger wool pads with longer strands. I find this thing to be killer in edges and smaller areas too, because the ability to get to the edge on this type of wool pad, is better then a standard wool pad size. If your goal is to do some fast cutting, then this is the way to go for sure. Use it on a rotary and you WILL be faster in the cutting stage then you would on a MF cutting pad on DA hands down. Way to go Rupes. Also, keep it clean, it will last a long time. Don't go pressing down super hard either....not needed. IF you do that it will dramatically reduce the life it will have. Blow it out or use a towel to wipe it down, and swap them out every few panels too. Hope this helps guys. Cheers.

This pad is really great! On certain harder finishes you may be able to even use as a one-step. Unlike rotary wool pads, you can use as a two step on softer paints. Much less haze & holograms on soft Honda/Acura paints than with the blue foam pad (even with the Rupes coarse compound), with better durability and correction ability.

Rupes Coarse Wool Pad Product Reviews..
The best of the best when it comes down to an absolute correction.

Amazing. My new go-to pad for cutting. I used to use the LC hybrid wool but this being padded and easier to clean makes this even better. The price may be higher than MF cutting pads but its 100% worth it. Clean your pad often and it will continue to amaze you.

This pad does a excellent job with Meguiar's #100 or #105 for quick cutting. Only used it on a couple of cars so far, but the longevity looks to be okay as well. I like the foam backing that keeps the pad cushioned yet firm, a bonus over my other favorite, the Lake Country blue hybrid wool.

It works good to remove swirl marks even as a one step.

My usual go-to pad for compounding. Does not heat up as much as microfiber, cuts the same or more, and seems to finish with less marring on most paints. Have used it with Jescar Compound, Griot's Fast Correcting Cream, CarPro ClearCut, Koch Chemie H8.02, and Rupes Mille Coarse Compound and it works great with all. Mille, 15MKII, and even rotary. Pricy but the quality is definitely there.

It is helpful to have compressed air, or at minimum a wool spur tool to help keep them blown out during use. Makes them work better and last longer!
