I have gotten a good bit of my wetsanding complete on the boat. I have not used the 3M pads (the white and black ones) yet. I have used the regular old wool and terry bonnets. I used the wool with the buffing compound and the terry with the polish and it worked pretty well on the small area I worked on. My question is, what makes the 3M pads better? Would it work out a lot better for me and the boat if I bought the 3M pads?
