Wool vs Foam pads
Halekai,
I've read all of your posts on the gelcoat restoration process and you inspired me - bought the Makita 9227C, bought the Lake Country foam pads, bought the 3M buffing compound and FinesseIt II polish and have wet sanded the cabin/deck gelcoat with 800, 1000, 1200 grit (gelcoat is smoother but certainly not "shiny" at this point). I have a 1988 Catalina 30.
Now I'm trying to muster the courage to use the investments to finish the job. You mentioned in an earlier post (maybe not in this thread) that you were a fan of the foam pads, but that they should not be used on the "deck".
Could you explain the advantages/disadvantages of using wool vs foam pads on topsides vs deck/cabin/cockpit? As a total novice at this, I don't want to damage the gelcoat and would be happy with 75% of your results....
