Medium Wool Cut
Moderate correction without sacrificing finish
The Rupes Yellow Wool Medium Pad removes moderate swirl marks and light scratches in a controlled, refinable way. Its consistent 15mm fibres deliver even cut across the pad surface, while the flexible yellow foam backing keeps full contact on curved panels where stiffer pads fall short.

Pad Comparison
Rupes Yellow Wool vs a generic medium pad
Not all medium wool pads behave the same way. Here is how the Rupes Yellow Wool stacks up against a typical generic medium wool pad in the same price bracket.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Consistent fibre length across full pad | Yes | No |
| Flexible foam backing for contour work | Yes | No |
| Compatible with random orbital machines | Yes | Yes |
| Moderate cut on most paint types | Yes | Yes |
| Manufacturer compound pairing recommendation | Yes | No |
| Available in small 2-inch detail size | Yes | No |
Built for Detail Work
Contour control in a compact 2-inch pad
At 2 inches, this pad is the right tool for tight areas, small panels and detail-focused correction passes. The soft foam construction prevents the pad from riding off curved surfaces, so pressure stays where you need it and the finish stays consistent across the whole section.

Questions
Frequently asked
What type of defects does this pad remove?
This pad is designed for moderate defect removal - light to medium swirl marks, light scratches and mild oxidation. It is not a heavy-cut pad for deep scratches or severe paint correction. For those jobs, a more aggressive wool or foam cutting pad would be the right starting point.
Which polishing machines is this pad compatible with?
The Rupes Yellow Wool Medium Pad is compatible with random orbital, gear driven and triple action polishers. At 2 inches it is sized for smaller Rupes machines and detail-work polishers designed to take a 2-inch backing plate.
What compound or polish works best with this pad?
Rupes recommends pairing this pad with the BigFoot D-A Fine High Performance Fine Polishing Compound. That combination is tuned to give you moderate correction while refining well, so you are not left with heavy haze to chase afterwards.
Why is the foam backing yellow and flexible?
The yellow foam is specifically formulated to be softer and more flexible than the foam found on more aggressive pads. This matters on curved panels, door mirrors and tight contours where a stiffer backing would lose contact and create uneven polishing pressure.
What is the wool fibre length on this pad?
The pad features a consistent 15mm fibre length across the entire surface. Consistent fibre length means even product distribution and uniform cut - you do not get patchy correction from fibres that are longer at the edges than the centre.
Can I use this pad on all paint types?
This pad is suitable for use on most painted surfaces, including single-stage and clear-coat finishes. Because it is a medium-cut wool pad, take extra care on thin paint or soft clear coats, and always start with lighter machine speed settings to assess the paint's response before increasing aggressiveness.
How do I clean and maintain this pad between uses?
Use a pad cleaning brush or pad washer to clear compound residue during your session, which keeps the fibres open and the cut consistent. After the job, wash the pad with a pad cleaning solution and warm water, rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry fully before storage. Avoid wringing the pad as this can distort the foam backing.
How many pads come in the pack, and why does that matter?
This pack contains 4 pads. Having multiple pads to rotate through means you can swap to a fresh pad when one becomes loaded with compound residue, maintaining consistent cut and finish throughout the correction stage. It is particularly useful for larger correction jobs where a single pad would become saturated before the work is done.
