Hi all, earlier tonight i was at a local bodyshop as my dad wanted me to take his car there to have it rustproofed. As i was waiting in his office, the shopowner which i`Ve known for a while came to me in order to compliment me on how good the car looked(it was my father`s thunderbird), and then we started talking polishing/buffing. I asked him if he prefered foam over wool, and he said he prefered wool ( synthetic wool he said, as he told me 100% wool pads tend to come loose and fly off every which way. Also as i already knew he told me wool pads can ruin a finish quite rapidly from the heat it brings about. One thing i forgot to ask him, is :
does one get better shine/finish thru the use of wool pads, or are they just a matter of preference ? I think when he started out only wool pads existed, so maybe he likes them better cause he was shown back then how to work with wool.
As for me, i`ve never used wool pads, so i can`t speak from experience...........all i know is wool pads generate mcuh heat and it`s easy to mess up a paint finish with them......the guy actuallly told me about honda paint finish that are pretty easy to mess up using wool.
Let me know........ill hit the hay now......nite all :wavey
