Purple foam wool pads

Does anyone know if you can use purple wool pads with a finishing polish? Or should I use LC white to finish down. Thanks!

PFW isn't going to allow you to finish down all of the way no matter what you use with it. Use the white LC foam.

Re: Purple foam wool pads

Why would you do that Use a finishing pad, like an LC blue pad

I agree with Buegie, the Purple Foamed Wool Pad finishes down so nicely that 70% of the time, a polishing pad is not needed so you can to a finishing pad like a LC Black, Blue, or Red pad.

But to address the Orig Posters question, I guess you could use a finishing polish with the PFW Pad but you would probably get more cut than what you wanted in the first place and therefore might as well have used a compound polish.

Re: Purple foam wool pads

Wool is a product intended for correction. Foam is not, in most cases. It's made to finish and create a beautiful gloss. Nonetheless, I will use wool all the down to Intensive Polish (medium to medium-light corrective ability).

On soft paints, you will need a finishing pad. On harder paints, a polishing pad will be sufficient.

Re: Purple foam wool pads

I recently polished my wife's 2006 BMW 325i with M105 and PFW on a rotary. It finished down amazingly well, but that is probably because the clear coat on that car is rock hard. I still finished with Menzerna 106FF and a white foam pad, which seemed to add a little gloss.
