Ok, I know I haven't posted in some time, but I've been busy:) Recently, I came across this little product...really I was looking for another type of abrasive pad for a job but could not find it. Next to the spot on the shelf at Wal Mart was this little product made by 3M. I read it, thought I'd give it a try and wow, I'm glad I did!
It's made of natural wood fibers attached to a sponge. The old scotch brite pads are so abrasive that they will scratch glass, fiberglass, metal, hard plastics....this natural fiber version does not:) I can't tell you how many times I've seen scratched fiberglass boats from owners who think the other scotch brite pads or soft scrub. Now, there's a product that is slightly greener, made from wood byproducts normally thrown away or used in some types of composite boards.
I tested this in place of the other pads I used to use, abrasive enough to help remove surface oxidation, but nylon woven fiber was soft enough to not scratch the shiny surface...I did a little spot, buffed thhe wax away and found not a scratch, then did a larger spot, still with no damage and surprisingly mean to stains and oxidation, these little pads work! They worked so well that I handed them out to my detailers and let them use. We now have a new product, though more pricy than the older pads I used, these are slightly greener...and definitely MEANER, without being destructive to anything but the bad stuff:)
Stay tuned for more design related projects soon...need good photos first!
