    What is considered the best tool for cleaning a wool Rotary pad? Brand please, or any other information you want to throw in here.

    A pad spur, you can pick them up at most paint and body supply stores.

    I realize that, but is one better than another for some Super type (patented) reason, or, are they just about all the same as I "think" they are?

    That`s what I sometimes reach for. Not a good idea for a foam pad though. :grinno:

    I seen a video not long ago and I can`t remember where I had seen it, but the guy cleaned the wool pad with a wire brush to remove loose wool fur so there is less of a mess and no shedding. I am not sure if you guys have seen it.



    If you see it, DO NOT do that. If a loose bristle gets caught in the wool you will have severe trouble and problems.

    I bought a boat kit from CMA and they had a wire brush in the kit, just like you get at Lowes or Home Depot to scrape paint with. They even had a little instruction booklet showing a guy using that on a wool pad - just looked wrong to me. Rydawg brought up an excellent point (pun intended) one loose wire in that wool and you`ll cuss yourself for gettin outta bed that day.

    At $20.00 bucks a pop plus shipping for each Edge wool pad, I want to use something designed directly for it`s intended purpose.



    I`m really glad a wire brush was mentioned as a no-no, somewhere along the line I might have considered using one. Up front it sounds good, :think: till you think about it.



    I take it that the spur Tom gave me the link for will work on wool and foam, I just like to be sure about things.



    Thanks guys, Change
