Different kinds of detailing pads/materials...

Postby ducktape69 » Thu Dec 28, 2006 3:49 pm

well i got 3 meguiars detailing foam pads(all for random orbital polishers):
1. cutting foam pad
2. polishing foam pad
3. buffing/finishing foam pad

i also got a lambswool pad..my question is, what step would the lambswool pad be used? application(cutting or polishing?) or removal(buffing?) ???

and any tips in using the meguiars foam pads?

Cheers,
Sam

The Meguiars guy even recomended against using the lambswool pads at the detailing tech talk we had.
