Mirka 7.5" White Twisted Wool Cutting Grip Buff Pad – Fast-Cut Polishing Pad for Rotary & DA Polishers (MPADTW-7.5)

Overview

The Mirka 7.5" White Twisted Wool Cutting Grip Buff Pad (MPADTW-7.5) is a professional-grade polishing pad engineered for fast cutting and coarse paint correction on automotive clear coats, single-stage paints, and gel-coat surfaces. The twisted wool construction maximizes abrasive contact and heat dissipation, while the grip (hook-and-loop) backing ensures secure, vibration-free attachment to 7.5" backing plates. Soft, rounded edges prevent halo marks and panel damage during aggressive polishing passes. Washable and reusable for extended service life.

Key Features

• Twisted wool construction – high fiber density maximizes cutting action and distributes compound evenly across the panel surface
• Fast cutting performance – removes heavy oxidation, deep scratches, P1200–P1500 sanding marks, and severe swirl marks in fewer passes
• Soft rounded edges – prevents halo marks, panel burning, and edge damage during aggressive rotary or DA polishing
• Grip (hook-and-loop) backing – fast, secure pad changes on compatible 7.5" backing plates; no tools required
• Washable & reusable – machine washable; maintains cutting performance across multiple uses when properly cleaned
• White color-coding – identifies cutting/coarse correction grade in multi-pad polishing workflows

Application Suggestions

• Automotive paint correction: Remove heavy oxidation, water spots, and P1200–P1500 sanding scratches on clear coat and single-stage paint
• Gel-coat restoration: Fast cutting on marine gel-coat surfaces before finishing with foam pads
• Pre-polish compounding: First step in a multi-stage polishing sequence — follow with a foam finishing pad and fine polish for a swirl-free result
• Fleet & production detailing: High-throughput paint correction on large panels where speed of cut is the priority

Compared to Alternatives

• vs. Mirka foam cutting pads (orange): Twisted wool cuts significantly faster and generates more heat — ideal for heavy defect removal; foam cutting pads are better for moderate correction with less risk of heat damage on thin clear coats
• vs. Mirka 8" Quick Disconnect Twisted Wool Pad: MPADTW-7.5 uses grip (hook-and-loop) attachment for standard backing plates; the 8" QD version uses a quick-disconnect system for faster pad changes on high-volume production lines. Choose based on your backing plate system
• vs. 3M wool cutting pads: Mirka's twisted wool construction maintains fiber alignment longer than straight-cut wool, reducing fiber shedding and compound splatter during high-speed rotary passes
