Hey! That's also step number 62 of my patented "62 step detail"!

I made a couple pads out of soft eggcrate foam. I found that they weren't as durable as automotive pads and were a bit aggressive due to the larger pore size-they didn't leave as high of a shine as smaller pore pads.

I made a pad out of 80 grit sandpaper. Removes defects in no time :getdown

Interesting...thanks for posting



That is some valuable info.



Proves that soft isn't necessarily gentle

So rubbing a foam pad on a CD is the way to test if it'll scratch? I need to decide whether or not I'll use the pads that came w/ my Makita 9227 or not. I'll scratch test them, worst case I can use them on the wife's car.
