What sort of pads are you talking about, the backing pad behind the cover or is this something that actually contacts the compound? My buffer's backing pad is foam, the covers are terrycloth. I can also get fleece covers, but those aren't for buffing out paint, just waxing. As for compounds, that's why there's body shop suppliers, they know what works best with the stuff they're selling. It's just you pay extra for the advice. On Tue, 27 Jul 1999 22:40:30 -0700, you wrote: >There's an easy amateur solution- > use foam pads.
