Wolf's Chemicals polishing pads and backing plates have finally arrived!!

Hi all!

So I've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of our new polishing pads and they're finally here!! Wohoo!!! I've been testing them for quite some time now and they have not failed me yet, so I'm very happy to be adding them to The Pack! I call them the "Alpha" and "Omega" pads because for me these are the beginning and the end of polishing. I do a ton of ceramic paints and there hasn't been one yet that I couldn't finish with these 2 pads. This also goes for softer paints.

Choosing the right polishing pad can get a bit confusing at times, especially for beginners, because there's so many "light polishing" "medium cut" "heavy cut" etc. pads out there that it's hard to choose the right one. Then the confusion of what polish to use comes into play and it can really throw you for a loop. With these pads, the polish determines the cut, not the pad. One pad for cutting and one pad for finishing, it's that simple. I present to you the "Alpha" and the "Omega"...

The "Alpha" 150 mm



This pad looks a little aggressive and it can be if you want it to be. It cuts roughly like a wool pad, but will also leave a finish that a wool pad can't. I can use this pad and "X" polish and leave an almost LSP ready finish, but I can also use it to rip through orange peel if needed. Once the cutting is done, the "Omega" will finish things up >>

The "Omega" 150 mm



Depending on how well you've finished with the "Alpha" and the hardness of the paint, the "Omega" with our WP-1N through WP-3N can be used to clear things up. This pad can also be used to do some wicked one-steppers!



I purposely requested that the edges be left squared, as I feel this gives a much more precise cut as compared to the rounded edge pads. It allows you polish closer to the edges of lets say a piece of trim or badges.

Here's a 740 Li BMW that I did in Romania back in the Spring. Some parts of the car needed to be wet sanded and the paint on the bonnet was a respray and EXTREMELY hard... hardest paint I've polished to date in fact! I wet sanded it with 3,000 grit and despite the rock hard paint, I was still able to polish out the wet sanding marks with the "Alpha" and WP-3N >>

After polishing with "Alpha" and WP-3N medium polish



Still some slight hazing there, but that was cleared up with the "Omega" and WP-1N finishing polish.

Here's a Honda that I did on Friday. Butter soft paint, so instead of a compound to cut the scratches out, I chose WP-3N medium polish and "Alpha".

Before, some RIDS and typical swirls



After the "Alpha" and WP-3N



After that I finished with "Omega" and WP-1N.

Our new backing plate 125 mm M14



The pads will be going for around 8 EUR each and our distributors will hopefully be stocking them soon! Backing plate prices to be announced soon! Feel free to ask if you have questions!

This is exciting stuff Jesse, Wolfs is making a lot of headway and this is going to put it over the top!

 

Looks good Jesse very interesting and simple.

 

Everything Wolf's makes looks legit. I have yet to try any but from what people say I'm impressed.

Needless to say, I have a long list of Wolf's products I need to buy. These will be added to the list.

 

Looks really promising Jesse. When are you going to send some WP-3N to the States?

Phil ... are you listening?

 

LOL, I'm always listening.

Pads will probably be around $14.99 - $16.99 each pad due to all the frieght/taxes.

As well WP-3N I thought we had some let me check.

 

Thanks Phil ... let me know if you have a bottle around. I can wait until Spring if you don't.

 

so I guess this is only for rotary right?

 

Very cool!
