haha wow. funny i am just the opposite with foam atleast. wool i wash but foam i dont feel they really start working until the pad gets compound all worked into it. in the old days of using compounds like presta cutting creme i would wash every job or more since those would like to actually clog the pad and glaze over. now though with the newer compounds i might wash the pad 4-6 times through its life.
Are the foam pads flat or the waffle type ?rotary. i never use a da buffer.
Looks great @Danny23, I'm seriously considering ordering that purple wool foam pad to finish my son's Mustang. How do you clean the pad, does it load up bad with polish? Also what size backing pad are you using?This was done with LC prple wool foamed pad really love this pad amazing..did a test with 300 and 400,,i like the 400 way better work time is longer cuts the tolex like nothing will be trying the yellow 1500 later with these same compounds and purple wool at this point may have to work it more
