Random Orbital Pads

I picked up a pack of Simoniz orbital pads. It came with:
1 Foam Adaptor
2 Terry Bonnets
1 Wax applicator
1 Lambskin Bonnet.


I have read some stuff online and I just want to make sure it is right. I will use the foam applicator for the glaze and the lambskin to remove the glaze?

foam for application. terry for removal, if you must (I prefer removal by hand). throw the lambskin away, don't use it on your paint. (way too course, and will create swirls/marring)

you will get no corrective abilities from a random orbital, but it will save your arms for applying and removing wax.

I would not recommend using the machine to remove a carnuba based wax, as the terry bonnet can "load up" and cause some micro marring, but you could use it to remove a synthetic, if you wanted to, with minimal risk.

I have assummed that your random is a 8" to 10" "waxmaster" type. if not, then ignore everything I have said other than never using the lambskin bonnet.

Thanks for the info. What about the Wax Applicator, it feels kinda of coarse do you think it would be safe to use? Or should I use the foam for DC 2 and 3? And use the terry cloths to remove.
