OK, now I'll preface this by saying I'm not flaming you, but let me point a few things out:
1) Look at my post count and join date. Now look at yours. I'm no noob, nor am I an idiot. I can and did read that he's using it for swirl and scratch removal, and I know plenty about proper procedure to remove swirls and scratches. However, I don't know if he means to APPLY a product, BUFF OFF a product (residue), or what.
2) While heat does help products to break down, it isn't what actually does the work of swirl removal. The abrasives (be they chemical or 'mechanical' (physically diminishing abrasive particles) in nature) and the friction force applied to them is what actually does the work.
3) NO, it is not the right thing to use. These towels are cheaply constructed, and not safe for contacting paint without causing damage. With as cheap as microfiber toweling is these days, there is no reason not to use it for any and every job when it comes to paint (if not exclusively for ANY surface). As far as applicators are concerned, I prefer open-cell foam applicators for "manual" compounding/polishing purposes. You aren't ever going to work as effectively by hand as you will via a DA polisher (PC), though.
Sherman, I think the reason you don't have any idea if/what toweling is good, is that you maybe don't have alot of experience yet. Just keep practicing, reading, and learning before trying to make me sound like I don't know what I am saying... because while you were in part right in what you were saying, you also missed the mark on a few key points. I'm just asking that you think before you post (make sure you actually know what you're doing), and make sure of how you're comming across to the people who are reading what you're telling them. Thanks!
