Foam, unless you really know what you are doing, and since you're asking, I'm guessing you don't.

Default Have you tried removing wax with Griot's Wax Removal Bonnet? Just ordered it...THX

FINALLY, A FAST AND SAFE WAY TO REMOVE POLISH AND WAX WITH OUR ORBITAL MACHINE SYSTEM
For years you've been asking for a way to get wax off your paint's surface by machine. (You don't know how long I've struggled with this.) It wasn't until I started testing micro fiber cloth for wax removal by hand that it hit me; I ought to modify the fibers and structure to get it to work with our Machine Polishing System. I'm happy to say this bonnet works great, and I believe it is the best solution to remove wax by machine. One note of caution: There are hundreds of different micro fibers, and over the last year of testing, I believe this is the best one for machine removal. You may mistake it for cotton terry, however it is a lot softer and the wax doesn't load up on this Micro Fiber Bonnet as it can with a cotton terry bonnet. I've found that cotton terry, when loaded up with wax under machine conditions has a cutting action that is not good for paint. The other significant difference is that you can take your hand and ruff up fibers when you are done with a panel to reveal fresh fibers for the next panel of wax removal. For those of you that have been waiting years for a safe way to remove wax by machine, here is finally a process that removes the wax quickly, easily and leaves your arm fresh for other things. It takes off about 95% of the wax, for a final detail and enhanced clarity just spritz the surface with water and buff out with our 100% Cotton Polishing Cloths or our Micro Fiber Towels. Made exclusively for us. Do not use on orbitals other than ours with 6" pads or damage can occur due to heat build up. Reduce your elbow grease!<ul><li><a href="http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?SKUupsell=11536">http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?SKUupsell=11536</a</li></ul>
