The Hybrid-WoolPad combines a virgin wool surface with a foam core — the wool side provides maximum cut for stubborn paint defects, while the foam core ensures controlled pressure distribution and reduced heat generation.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor decades, wool pads have been known as the most aggressive polishing tool in professional detailing: their rough surface structure and high flexibility allow the wool fibers to achieve the strongest mechanical cutting performance possible with a polishing pad — significantly more than any foam pad. At the same time, classic pure wool pads have a weakness: without a foam core, they transfer machine pressure unevenly and can cause localized overheating if used improperly. The \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE HybridWoolPad\u003c\/strong\u003e combines the best of both worlds: the virgin wool surface for maximum cutting performance and a foam core for even pressure distribution and better heat dissipation. Available in Ø80 mm, Ø125 mm, and Ø165 mm for all polishing machines and applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum cutting performance due to virgin wool surface for the toughest paint defects.\u003c\/strong\u003e The virgin wool fibers of the HybridWoolPad generate very high mechanical abrasion due to their natural structure: on heavily weathered paint, deep oxidation, and holograms from Class B machine scratches are efficiently removed. The wool structure allows for a removal depth that is not achievable with classic foam pads — for severe paint defects, the wool pad is the first choice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoam core for even pressure distribution and controlled work.\u003c\/strong\u003e The hybrid construction of the pad protects the paint from localized overheating: the foam core under the wool side distributes the machine's contact pressure evenly over the entire working surface of the pad. This avoids the \"hot spots\" known from classic wool pads — localized overheating points that can damage the clear coat. The result is a more controllable cutting performance, manageable even for experienced detailers with less wool pad experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree sizes for all machine formats and application areas.\u003c\/strong\u003e The HybridWoolPad is available in Ø80 mm for mini-orbital machines and detail work, Ø125 mm for standard orbital machines and compact rotary polishers, and Ø165 mm for large-area polishing on bonnets, roofs, and sides. The choice of size depends on the application area: small pads for tight areas and edges, large pads for rapid progress on large paint surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical tip from Detailing1:\u003c\/strong\u003e The HybridWoolPad develops its best cutting performance at medium machine speed (1,200–1,600 rpm on a rotary polisher) with moderate pressure. More pressure does not mean more cut — the wool pad cuts through the fibers, not through the pressure. After each vehicle panel, blow out polishing residue from the wool bundles with a stiff brush at idle. Wool pads cannot be reused as frequently as foam pads — when preparing materials, plan for 1–2 pads per vehicle. After use, wash thoroughly in lukewarm water with a mild cleaner and allow to dry flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHybridWoolPad Technology — Virgin Wool, Foam Core, and Cutting Behavior\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eHybridWoolPad\u003c\/strong\u003e uses virgin wool — i.e., shorn animal wool — as a polishing material. Virgin wool has a naturally scaled fiber structure (the so-called scale structure of the wool hair) that performs microscopically small cutting movements during polishing. These fiber scales grip the uppermost clear coat layer and remove it through mechanical abrasion — similar to sandpaper, but with a much finer grit and higher flexibility. The flexibility of the wool bundles prevents the fibers from leaving rigid scratches in the paint — the wool bundles spring back on contact and create a more even cutting effect than rigid abrasives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe foam core of the hybrid construction performs several functions: It distributes the polishing machine's contact pressure over the entire pad surface, prevents localized pressure peaks on uneven paint surfaces, and cushions the wool side against the paint surface. This damping function makes the HybridWoolPad significantly safer to use than pure wool pads without a foam core — especially on curved surfaces such as fenders and bumpers, where a stiff pad can easily create edgy contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA frequently asked question concerns the cleaning of wool pads after use: wool pads absorb more polishing residue than foam pads and must be cleaned more thoroughly after use. The best result is achieved by soaking in lukewarm water with a mild wool detergent for 15–20 minutes, then gently squeezing (not wringing!) and drying flat. Overly aggressive washing or spinning in the washing machine will damage the wool structure and reduce cutting performance during subsequent use. Properly cared for wool pads last for several vehicles; improperly treated ones lose their fiber properties after just 2–3 uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cutting performance of the HybridWoolPad exceeds that of the hardest foam pad: where a foam pad with a heavy-cut polish requires several passes, the HybridWoolPad often finishes in one pass. This makes the wool pad particularly valuable for heavily weathered vehicles where time is the most precious factor. For normal vehicle detailing with light to medium holograms, however, the wool pad is oversized — here, the cutting performance of foam pads is sufficient and easier to control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication of the HybridWoolPad — Polish Combination, Machine, and Technique\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HybridWoolPad is designed for use with heavy-cut polishes. The recommended combination in the PROFILINE system is the HybridWoolPad with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-cutmax-schleif-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CutMax \"6\/4\" abrasive polish\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ultimatecut-schleif-politur\"\u003ePROFILINE UltimateCut \"6+\/3\"\u003c\/a\u003e — the strongest polishes in the range. These combinations are designed for vehicles with severe P800-P1000 sanding marks, deep oxidation, or heavy holograms from machine pre-treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMachine selection: The HybridWoolPad works on both rotary polishers and dual-action orbital machines. On the rotary polisher, it generates the highest cut; on the orbital machine, the cutting performance is slightly reduced, but the result is more even and the risk of heat damage is lower. For beginners in professional polishing, it is recommended to start with the HybridWoolPad on an orbital machine before switching to a rotary polisher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePolish dosage on the wool pad: Unlike foam pads, less polish should be applied to the wool pad. The wool structure sucks polish out of the paint surface and collects it in the fibers — too much polish leads to overloading of the pad, which reduces cutting performance and makes it difficult to remove polishing residue. A small cross of polish (instead of the 5-dot pattern for foam pads) is usually sufficient for wool pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication Areas of the HybridWoolPad — Severe Paint Defects, Oxidation, and Initial Acceleration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HybridWoolPad is the tool for the toughest paint correction tasks: heavily weathered paint from years of neglect, oxidized surfaces on used vehicles, vehicles with sanding marks from coarse machine sanding passes, or heavy holograms from automatic car washes. In all these cases, the wool pad provides the highest removal volume in the shortest time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe HybridWoolPad is also suitable for GRP (glass-fiber reinforced plastic on boats, caravans or motorcycles) preparation. GRP gelcoat weathers similarly to car paint — it oxidizes and becomes dull. With the wool pad and a suitable heavy-cut polish, oxidized gelcoat can be efficiently reconditioned and brought to a high gloss. Important: GRP is thicker than car paint (1–5 mm instead of 80–150 µm) and tolerates more mechanical abrasion — but excessive heat development can also cause damage to GRP. Moderate pressure and regular breaks during GRP preparation with the wool pad are mandatory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother special case for the wool pad is the initial acceleration in multi-layer paint structures: vehicles with very thick original clear coat layers (over 80 µm) can hardly remove enough material with normal abrasive polishes on foam pads to reach deep-seated defects. The HybridWoolPad with heavy cutting polish provides the necessary removal volume for the first cutting pass, which is then continued in several finer steps until a high gloss is achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSONAX PROFILINE HybridWoolPad in Comparison — Wool Pad vs. Foam Pad in Cutting Needs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the PROFILINE polishing pad range, the HybridWoolPad is the choice for maximum cutting performance, while the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-schaumpad-hart-polierpad\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE hard foam pad\u003c\/a\u003e is for lighter to medium heavy-cut tasks. The decision between a wool pad and a hard foam pad depends on the severity of the paint defects: deep scratches, heavy oxidation, and severe machine scratches require the wool pad; light holograms, normal signs of wear, and fresh paint on new vehicles are treated more efficiently with the hard foam pad, as the wool pad would remove more material than necessary in these cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the HybridWoolPad pass, a subsequent step with a medium foam pad and a finish polish or a soft foam pad with a high-gloss polish is necessary to remove the fine sanding marks typical of wool pads from the clear coat and to finalize the high gloss. The HybridWoolPad is always the first step in a multi-stage process — never the last. If a detailer delivers directly after using the wool pad, the customer will receive a paint finish with visible micro-scratches under streak lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying the SONAX PROFILINE HybridWoolPad — Size Selection and Application Recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailing businesses, an assortment of several sizes is recommended: Ø165 mm for large-area work on bonnets, roofs, and sides; Ø125 mm as a standard size for fenders, doors, and details; Ø80 mm for tight areas such as bumper edges and sills. The HybridWoolPad is designed as part of the PROFILINE polishing system — it works optimally with PROFILINE polishes and delivers consistent, reproducible results in this combination for every detailing pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor businesses that use the HybridWoolPad regularly, a dedicated polishing pad cleaning station is recommended: a shallow basin with warm water and wool detergent, into which the used pad is placed after each pad change. At the end of the workday, all wool pads are cleaned simultaneously and laid flat to dry. This routine prevents polishing gel from drying in the wool bundles and clumping the fibers. Dried-in polishing residues in the wool pad are almost impossible to remove — the pad permanently loses cutting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince wool pads wear out faster than foam pads after intensive use, a stock of 3–5 pads per size is recommended for regular detailing businesses. The high cutting performance of the HybridWoolPad justifies its use on difficult vehicles — for normal new and used vehicles without severe paint defects, foam pads are the more economical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"Ø80 mm","offer_id":57345168933199,"sku":"D1-SNX-4940410","price":38.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø125 mm","offer_id":57345168965967,"sku":"D1-SNX-4938000","price":27.73,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø165 mm","offer_id":57345168998735,"sku":"D1-SNX-4941000","price":37.15,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-hybridwollpad_125-mm.png?v=1774736592"},{"product_id":"sonax-profiline-lammwollpad-wollpad","title":"PROFILINE Lambswool Pad","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMaximum cutting performance from natural wool — SONAX PROFILINE LambswoolPad\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does the SONAX PROFILINE LambswoolPad do?

For these cases, there is the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE LambswoolPad\u003c\/strong\u003e — a wool pad made from genuine lambswool fibers that achieves cutting performance through its open, three-dimensional fiber structure that synthetic foam pads cannot replicate. The fiber structure of the lambswool interacts with the polish, creating mechanical abrasion on the paint surface while simultaneously retaining heat in the pad, allowing the abrasive particles of the polish to activate optimally. If you are regularly confronted with heavy-cut situations in your business, you cannot avoid the LambswoolPad — it is the strongest tool in the SONAX PROFILINE pad range for the initial correction phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHighest cutting performance due to natural lambswool fibers for the first correction phase.\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural lambswool, with its wavy, three-dimensional fiber structure, creates mechanical abrasive performance that synthetic pads can hardly achieve. Deeply ingrained scratches after wet sanding with P800–P1200, heavy oxidation layers on weathered paints, and stubborn holograms from machine polishing are efficiently leveled in one step with the SONAX PROFILINE LambswoolPad.

For heavily oxidized paint, we recommend applying the polish in small portions directly to the paint, not just on the pad — this extends the working time of the abrasives. After polishing, rinse the pad with a pad cleaning brush (pad washer or brush with water), do not let it dry, and then reuse it — wool works better when slightly damp. For combination with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ultimatecut-schleif-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-cut-finish-einstufen-politur\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Cut+Finish\u003c\/a\u003e on a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-klett-stutzteller-125-stutzteller\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Hook-and-Loop Backing Plate 125\u003c\/a\u003e, the system is optimally coordinated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCutting performance and material structure of the LambswoolPad — how lambswool creates mechanical abrasion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe superior abrasive performance of the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE LambswoolPad\u003c\/strong\u003e compared to foam pads is explained by the physical properties of natural lambswool fibers: Each individual wool fiber is naturally spirally crimped — this crimp creates an open, three-dimensional pore structure within the mass of fibers. This structure fulfills several functions in the polishing process. First, the fiber structure deeply absorbs the polish and releases it in a controlled manner to the paint surface, ensuring even abrasive distribution. Second, the fibers microscopically engage with the abrasive particles of the polish, thereby increasing the effective contact area between the abrasive and the paint. Third, fiber friction generates heat, which activates the abrasive particles in break-down polishes — especially with SONAX PROFILINE high-cut polishes, this thermal activation is crucial for full abrasive performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe support foam under the wool fibers is designed for medium hardness, which makes the pad usable on both rotary and eccentric machines. In rotary use (typical: 800–1,400 rpm), the medium-hard support provides the necessary counter-pressure so that the wool fibers lie on the paint with sufficient force. In eccentric use, the support prevents the pad from deforming too much under the eccentric motion and polishing unevenly. The hook-and-loop backing on the reverse side is standardized and fits all common 80mm and 125mm backing plates with Velcro attachment — including the SONAX PROFILINE Hook-and-Loop Backing Plate 125 and compatible backing plates from other manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to synthetic cutting foam pads (orange or red), the LambswoolPad has a different working style: Foam cutting pads apply a more even, lenticular pressure to the paint — making them controllable and well suited for moderate corrections. Lambswool, on the other hand, works with the fiber tips and creates micro-punctual pressure, which is more efficient for maximum abrasion requirements. The difference is visible in a direct comparison after the first polishing round: On heavily oxidized paint or after P1000 sanding, the LambswoolPad shows significantly fewer remaining sanding marks after one round than a cutting foam pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication and Workflow — correctly using the SONAX PROFILINE LambswoolPad\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe optimal workflow with the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE LambswoolPad\u003c\/strong\u003e begins with the right polish selection: The pad is designed for high-cut polishes with a high degree of abrasion — SONAX PROFILINE UltimateCut 6+\/3, SONAX PROFILINE Cut+Finish 5\/5, or SONAX PROFILINE FS 05-04 are typical partners. With finishing polishes (NP 03-06, PerfectFinish), the combination makes little sense — here, softer foam pads or finish pads are the better choice. The LambswoolPad is a tool for the correction phase, not for the finish phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe working sequence with the LambswoolPad on a rotary machine: Mark off a working area of approximately 40x50 cm, apply 3–4 rice-grain-sized portions of polish to the paint, place the pad, and briefly work in the polish at low speed (approx. 800 rpm) until no dry spots are visible. Then increase the speed to the working range (typically 1,000–1,400 rpm depending on polish and paint) and make 3–5 even passes with light pressure. Afterward, reduce the speed, polish out any remaining polish, lift the pad, and check the result. If sanding marks are still visible, do a second round on the same area — with a fresh portion of polish. After polishing, wipe with a microfiber cloth and only then move to the next area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn eccentric machines (typically 12–15 mm eccentric), the LambswoolPad works with slightly lower abrasion than on a rotary, but is gentler on thin paints. The typical speed setting is 4,000–5,500 rpm, and the pressure is moderate. The advantage of eccentric use: The machine is more forgiving of beginner's mistakes when holding edges than a rotary, and the risk of burning through is significantly lower. For workshops that rarely work with rotary but still need higher abrasive performance than with foam pads, the LambswoolPad on an eccentric is a good compromise solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween polishing areas and before storing, regularly rinse the pad with a pad washer or a brush under running water. Polish residues in the wool fibers that dry out will gum up the fiber structure and noticeably reduce abrasive performance. Freshly cleaned and stored slightly damp, the pad remains immediately ready for the next session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAreas of application — when the SONAX PROFILINE LambswoolPad is the first choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE LambswoolPad\u003c\/strong\u003e is not the first choice for every vehicle or every paint — it is the specialized tool for situations where medium pads are not sufficient. In daily detailing, these are mainly three scenarios: First, used car reconditioning with heavily neglected paints that have accumulated UV oxidation, wash scratches, and dirt deposits over years. These paints are typically matte or hazy, reflecting diffusely rather than specularly, and barely react to normal foam polishing combinations. The LambswoolPad quickly breaks up the surface and shows after the first polishing pass what paint depth is still present underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second main scenario is paint correction after wet sanding. If scratches or paint defects have been manually or machine wet sanded (typically P800–P1200), the sanding leaves coarse sanding marks that must be completely removed before fine polishing can begin. In this phase, the LambswoolPad on a rotary is the fastest tool: It works out the sanding marks in one or two passes and prepares the surface for finish polishing. Foam cutting pads would require significantly more passes for the same task.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third scenario is holograms and swirl marks from previous machine polishes, where poor technique or incorrect pad combinations have left fine swirls in the paint. These holograms are particularly visible on dark, solid-color paints (black, dark gray, dark blue) and require genuine material removal, not just surface filling like a finish pad. The LambswoolPad with a Cut+Finish polish efficiently removes these holograms and leaves a clear base for the final sealant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, caution is advised on sensitive paints (very thin factory layers, freshly painted surfaces, clear coat under 60 micrometers): The LambswoolPad with high-cut polish removes more paint per round than a foam pad. Before use, a paint thickness measurement should always be performed, and on thin paints, less pressure and lower speed should be used, or switch to the SONAX PROFILINE HybridWoolPad, which acts somewhat gentler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLambswoolPad vs. HybridWoolPad — the right wool pad for every detailing case\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SONAX PROFILINE wool pad range offers two different approaches with the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE LambswoolPad\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-hybridwollpad-wollpad\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE HybridWoolPad\u003c\/a\u003e, which differ specifically in their construction and application profile.

For users who appreciate the advantages of a wool fiber structure (open texture, good polish absorption, heat generation) but do not need the full abrasive potential of the LambswoolPad, the HybridWoolPad is the right choice. It is suitable for moderate paint defects, light to moderate oxidation, and vehicles with normal care conditions — where a pure lambswool pad would be too aggressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-schaumpad-weich-polierpad\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE FoamPad soft\u003c\/a\u003e, on the other hand, the positioning is clear: It is designed for the finishing phase after correction work — if you want to perform a final finishing pass with a fine polish after using the LambswoolPad, reach for the soft foam pad. The three-pad system of LambswoolPad (Heavy Cut) → FoamPad medium (intermediate polish, if necessary) → FoamPad soft (Finish) completely covers all correction phases from rough preliminary work to high-gloss final polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, the following rule of thumb applies to pad selection: If the paint is heavily oxidized, shows coarse sanding marks after wet sanding, or has deep scratches (visible to the naked eye in glancing light) → LambswoolPad. If the paint has moderate wash scratches and swirls without deeper damage → HybridWoolPad. If the paint is in good basic condition and only needs refreshing and sealant preparation → FoamPad medium or soft.

The Ø80 mm pad is the detail size for depressions, edges, A-pillars, mirror housings, and all areas where a 125 mm pad is too large to work controllably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hook-and-loop backing fits all SONAX PROFILINE backing plates with standard Velcro connection. For the Ø125 mm pad, the SONAX PROFILINE Hook-and-Loop Backing Plate 125 (M14 thread) is the direct system solution — it is designed for rotary machines with an M14 spindle and ensures a vibration-resistant connection that sits securely even at high speeds. For the Ø80 mm pad, an 80 mm compatible backing plate is required accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachine compatibility: The LambswoolPad in both sizes is suitable for rotary polishing machines and for eccentric machines. On a rotary machine (Rupes LHR, Flex PE, Makita PW5001C, or similar), it delivers its full cutting performance. On eccentric machines (Rupes BigFoot, Flex XFE, Bosch PEX), it also works, with slightly lower abrasive performance than on a rotary. Orbital machines (Flex XCE, Flex OE) are less suitable for wool pads in heavy-cut use, as the orbital motion interacts less efficiently with the fiber structure than the rotary motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor businesses that frequently perform heavy-cut polishing, we recommend having several LambswoolPads per size in stock: As soon as a pad is saturated (recognizable by the fact that it barely glides on the paint when applied, but \"drags\"), it should be replaced with a fresh one. A saturated pad no longer polishes optimally — it smears rather than grinds. With two to three pads per size in use, the pace can be maintained on long detailing days without having to wait for slow pad cleaning: Attach and polish with one pad, rinse and dry the other — alternating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"Ø80 mm","offer_id":57345169129807,"sku":"D1-SNX-4941410","price":24.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ø125 mm","offer_id":57345169162575,"sku":"D1-SNX-4931410","price":15.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-lammwollpad_125-mm.png?v=1774736616"}],"url":"https:\/\/detailing1.pl\/en\/collections\/sonax-wollpad.oembed","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
