Detailing is my passion, so why not share it with others! Thanks for the comments. Blacklimitedcoupe, thank-you for the heads-up on towel selection and those important tips about the rotary. Wool pads are the most aggressive form of pad out there. Interestingly enough, the design of the pad does not create heat as fast as a foam pad because of the crevices inbetween each thread, allowing heat to escape more easily than in a foam pad, but they still are going to rip-up the clearcoat. I forgot the fact that some people still use cheapo terry cloths. Next post in the near future...WAXING and TOWELS!
