I agree with Shiny Lil Detlr. Pure foam is MUCH better for working with abrasives. It holds and dispenses the compound much more evenly providing better results.

Terry is such an uneven material that it bunches up when damp, starts to "pill" and won't allow a proper even application pressure or product distribution.

MF is also not the best. It compresses very easily when saturated and will not hold product evenly or with uniform pressure.

Terry and MF are fine for was application if you so desire.
