In the commercial market the synthetic pads have a larger range of textures offering the commercial user five different grades of coarseness. In a high percentage of usage applications, It is preferred to use the synthetic pad instead of steel wool, as the synthetic pad does not have as great of potential of scratching the surface. On large wood surfaces such as wall paneling, floors, cabinets, etc., it is recommended to use a scrub brush. The application procedure is the same as with the other types of applicators. Utilizing a scrub brush you will be able to cover a larger area quick and more efficiently.
Scrub brushes are available in both natural bristle and plastic bristle.
Commercial buffers have progressed to the point that they are able to reduce labor significantly. Whether you decide to use a synthetic pad, polishing brush or steel wool will depend entire upon the surface you are going to work on. This is easily corrected by flicking the bristles with a screwdriver and knocking the wax loose and reusing the brush again and again. Hand held mechanical applicators can be affixed with a brush and are extremely effective in maintaining wood paneling and cabinetry. Always use a clean portion of the steel wool pad or buffing cloth.
