Oh definitely. Yellow foam pads tend to hop, skip and gum up though. You'd be much better served by a green edge or purple lc wool pad - the risk of doing damage is actually less with those pads than a yellow foam, and the level of cut is comprable or only slightly more.

Thank you very much. That helped a lot. This forum has changed my detailing game SO much. I really do appricate it. Never thought id be into this. Its a money pit! Every dollar I make from detailing goes to more chemicals/product. Eventually I hope to have everything and get some profit going.

This is the purple pad: Foamed Wool 6.5 inch Polishing/Buffing Pad

The pad you picked has a *ton* of cut. It's great for really bad jobs, but I would hesitate to use it until you have 6 months or so of experience.

The purple pad is a good counterpart for Menzerna SIP, Presta UCCL and Meguiar's #105.
