cenwesi,
I got my wool pads from Proper Auto Care. I have used them on some hard to polish swirls on jet black BMW paint with good results. I then dropped down to a cutting pad, then a polishing pad with less instensive polishes for each step. For me, without using a rotary, it was the only thing that got out some of the "hard to polish" swirls and scratches.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
