RUPES 3" D‑A Coarse Wool Polishing Pad for Dual Action Polishers, 9.NW80H
Product Overview
The RUPES 3" (80mm) D-A Precision Pro Coarse Wool Polishing Pad (9.NW80M) is engineered for maximum cutting performance on compact dual-action polishers. Featuring a dual-density wool surface made from two distinct fiber lengths, this pad delivers aggressive defect removal while maintaining a more refined finish than traditional single-density wool pads.
Designed for use on small-format random orbital polishers, the 9.NW80M pad is ideal for tight areas, spot repair, bumpers, mirrors, motorcycle tanks, and complex curves where precision cutting is required.
This pad supersedes the discontinued RUPES 9.BW100H coarse wool pad, offering improved performance, durability, and balance.
Sold one pad per package. Made in USA.

Tips for Success
- Use genuine RUPES pads for optimal vibration control and tool balance.
-
Prime the pad properly before first use:
- Foam pads: apply compound in an “X” pattern and run the tool at low speed for 20 seconds.
- Wool & microfiber pads: apply a thin spiral of compound and run at low speed for 20 seconds.
- Reload with small amounts of compound — avoid oversaturation to maintain cutting performance.
- Clean pads frequently during use with compressed air, vacuum, or the RUPES Claw Pad Tool.
- After use: wash with warm water and mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and air dry.
- Avoid solvent-based cleaners to prevent damage to pad fibers and foam structure.
- Use at least two pads per vehicle, rotating (cycling) about every 10 minutes for consistent performance.
