I was wondering if the hook and loop pads are any good? I purchased one. But I haven't used it yet. And what pad is good to remove swirl remarks.

Re: Hook and loops
Just to clarify, when you say hook and loop pads, whose are you referring to? A number of companies use the words hook and loop for both their pads and their backing plates as it has to do with the Velcro system of attaching the pad to the backing plate.Originally posted by chevyman2001

As to your other question,
That depends on what put the swirls in, your chemical, paint hardness, (or softness), your machine of choice, rotary buffer or PC?Originally posted by chevyman2001
And what pad is good to remove swirl remarks.
A Meguiar's W-9000 pad on a rotary buffer with some #9 will remove light swirl, but it probably won't remove the kind of buffer swirls instilled by a wool pad and a coarse cutting compound.
We need more information.

I think the swirls where made by drying the car with a towel. When I mean hook and loop I mean by you put the pad on and you tie it. I read that a wool pad can leave marks. I bought a pad from Lowes that is a hook and loop. It is for polishing.Comment

Personally,
For what you're doing. I would take the wool pad back and either get some kind of foam pad or your money back.
Each of the wool fibers puts its own cut or scratch into your finsih. This is often where buffer swirl comes from.
Wool buffing pads are great for body shops when technicians want to use them with a compound to remove their sanding marks, but for general detailing of your car's finish, you should avoid them.
