Polishing Wool Pad Metabo 631217000 — 150 mm Diameter, 1-piece

The Metabo 631217000 polishing wool pad is a 150 mm diameter wool polishing pad supplied as a single piece for use with compatible rotary polishers. It is designed to work on painted surfaces, metal and gelcoat to remove fine scratches, smooth oxidation and restore surface gloss. The dense wool fibers provide moderate cutting ability while maintaining controlled heat and friction during machine polishing, making this pad suitable for finishing and intermediate compounding steps in detailing workflows.

Advantages

The wool construction delivers balanced cutting performance and surface refinement without aggressive removal rates. Its 150 mm diameter offers good coverage for panel work while remaining easy to manage on irregular surfaces. The pad attaches to standard backing plates and maintains shape during use to ensure consistent contact and predictable results. The single-piece supply simplifies inventory and replacement planning for both professional detailers and DIY users.

Suitable for

• Removing fine scratches and swirl marks from automotive paint
• Intermediate compounding and pre-gloss finishing
• Polishing metal components and trim
• Restoring gloss on gelcoat surfaces of boats and marine equipment

Key specifications

• Diameter: 150 mm
• Material: wool polishing fibers
• Supply quantity: 1 piece
• Compatible use: rotary polishers with matching backing plate

How to use

Secure the wool pad to a compatible backing plate on a rotary polisher and select an appropriate polishing compound for the task. Start at low speed to spread the compound, then increase speed gradually while applying light to moderate pressure. Keep the pad moving across the surface to avoid heat buildup and concentric polishing marks. After polishing, remove residual compound with a clean microfiber cloth and inspect the surface; repeat if necessary using a finer polishing stage for higher gloss.

Usage recommendations

Use inspection lighting and test in an inconspicuous area before full-panel work. Clean the pad after use and store it dry to maintain performance. For best results on delicate or thin paint, use lighter pressure and finer polishing stages following the wool pad.
