wool rotary pads...

are they overly aggressive and something to be feared vs the foam pads?

Nope, I love em. Stay away from wool cutting pads on clearcoated paints, but wool polishing pads do great job, better cut than foam, a little more marring but overall my pick. My usual combo is Powergloss/wool polishing followed by Optimum/Propel green. Leaves a real nice finish.

I`ve used Meg`s Wool cutting pad on OEM Cured as well as panels I`ve shot myself (cured time less than 30 days) and love it (except for the lint)

Optimum has some lambs wool pads (I`ve been using the black one) that doesn`t lint at all. LC has some "Foamed Wool" pads that I`ve just started testing (some lint but not alot).

I`ve recently gone back to using wool as I think it cuts better than foam and as such doesn`t require as many passes (my personal experience) as I would with just a foam pad alone.

Not all Wool pads are the same (just like w/foam pads) so you have to use the right one for the application/paint your dealing with.

I`ve always liked wool but for a time I went only with foam. When I tried out a few wool pads from LC, ValuGard and Optimum I feel in love with them again and carry several with me all the time now.

THey actually run cooler than foam pads so in a sense they are safer to use than foam.

are Makita wool pads good? I can get them locally at Lowes.

Check out Prowax.com. They sell a 50/50 wool synthetic blend pad. It can give you a little more piece of mind since it is not 100% wool. I think it works great in place of a foam cutting pad.
