    Question Swansdown mops for 6" ROS?

    G'day,

    Are there Swansdown mops for 6" ROS, (I had a look through U-Beaut but didn't find anything, thought there would be)

    Would a car polish mop suffice, or is there better?
    I make things, I just take a long time.

    I have a couple of Makita lambswool pads and a pair of Lee Valley's Surbuf Pads.

    There are better buffs than ROS as buffing ideally requires a 100% positive drive which the ROS doesn't give. There are those who will argue the toss, but I have done a number of trials and the best by far is the SD Mop on a drill as it buffs on the outer edge of the buff and with the grain of the timber thus eliminating the swirls that are imparted with normal buffing and ROS buffing.
    This is a 6" x 100 fold mop.
    Buffing swirls are fine (or at least acceptable) on a car, but not on furniture which should always be buffed and polished with the grain.

    Cheers - Neil

    Thanks for the replies Wizened of Oz, and Neil too.

    Can't go past U-Beaut products, so once I get my list together of bits and pieces I'll put an order in for some.
