Product Information
Full details
The Mirka Polarshine Polishing Lambswool Pad Pro is engineered for professional detailers and refinishing experts who require high-performance material removal and a consistent finish. Featuring a 150mm diameter, this pad offers exceptional cutting power and heat management, making it ideal for restoring oxidized or scratched surfaces. While it excels at heavy-duty correction, users should note that the aggressive nature of the lambswool fibers requires careful control to avoid burning through clear coats on sensitive paintwork.

FAQs
Can I use this pad on a dual-action polisher?
Yes, it is compatible with most dual-action polishers, though it is typically most effective on rotary tools for heavy cutting.
How do I know when to replace the pad?
Replace the pad when the wool fibers become matted or sparse, or if the backing material begins to show signs of wear or separation.
Is this pad suitable for finishing?
No, this is a cutting pad. You should follow up with a foam finishing pad and a less aggressive polish to achieve a show-car shine.
Does the pad require a specific backing plate?
It is designed for use with a 150mm (or 6-inch) hook-and-loop backing plate.
How often should I clean the pad during use?
It is best practice to clean the pad after every 2-3 panels to ensure the compound does not clog the fibers and reduce performance.
Troubleshooting
Pad starts vibrating excessively
Check that the pad is perfectly centered on the backing plate and ensure there is no buildup of dried compound on one side.
Poor cutting performance
The fibers are likely clogged with residue. Clean the pad using a pad spur or compressed air to fluff the wool back up.
Pad backing is separating
This is often caused by excessive heat or using too much pressure. Monitor heat levels and ensure the backing plate is not larger than the pad.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High cutting power for rapid scratch and oxidation removal
- Excellent heat dissipation properties
- Consistent fiber density for predictable results
- Professional-grade durability
- Standard 150mm size fits most common backing plates
Cons
- More aggressive than foam pads, requiring skilled handling
- Requires frequent cleaning to maintain performance
- May leave light marring on soft paint that requires a finishing polish step
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Mirka Lambswool pad, always center it carefully on a 150mm backing plate. Before starting, ensure the backing plate is clean and free of debris. During use, use a spur or compressed air frequently to clear out spent compound and paint residue, which keeps the fibers from matting down. After finishing the job, wash the pad with a dedicated pad cleaner or mild detergent, rinse thoroughly with warm water, and allow it to air dry completely before the next use. Avoid machine drying with high heat as it can compromise the structural integrity of the pad backing.
