regardless of which one you use these are little legends, it is hard to believe that such a simple item can do such a bloody good job.

always a good day for cars
No Mick, but Stainless on stainless will bind and scratch (if not well lubricated) as the material strength is the same, non-stainless steel wool pads are softer than stainless so should reduce the risk of scratchingratbox wrote:is there anything to the stainless steel one being better than normal ones that you know of

I've never noticed any scratching, although I normally use a normal chrome or silver polish at the end.
It just adds that last bit of shine and puts a cover over the end product.
And as for splinters, yes Ratbox.
If I wear them down too much I end up getting something to spike me finger tip.
Can never find it, but always seems to be something in them that hurts.
But then again I use them until they are almost completed gone.
I guess at $2 a box I'm trying to save money
