A wool bonnet is a circular pad made from wool fibers, often used with a polishing machine to apply or remove wax, polish, or other automotive detailing products on a vehicle's surface.
The wool bonnet's construction involves dense layers of wool fibers tightly stitched or woven together, providing a plush yet durable surface for polishing tasks. The natural properties of wool, including its softness and ability to hold polishing compounds, make it an ideal material for achieving a smooth and glossy finish on metals, wood, plastics, and other materials.
When attached to a polisher or buffer, the wool bonnet spins or rotates at high speeds, allowing the abrasive particles within polishing compounds to effectively smooth out imperfections, scratches, and blemishes on the surface being worked on. The gentle yet thorough polishing action of the wool bonnet helps to restore shine and luster to surfaces, leaving behind a professional-grade finish.
