To be honest, I don't remember what the pad was made of...some kind of synthetic wool I suppose. I really don't think it matters much as all you are trying to do is heat up the area to lightly "melt" the surface to a smooth fininsh. Friction is your friend, but as I said before, go lightly at first until you get the feel for it. Apply a little pressure at a time until you get the results you want. Don't try to rush it...take your time. I've heard of using a propane torch to do the same thing but fire and plastic sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. Stick with the buffer and you should be fine. Maybe you should take some before and after photos to share with anyone else that may be thinking of doing the same thing. Just a thought.
