   Hey, John--

   The pad isn't anything really special, just a lambswool pad from Festool that secures to the sander's pad via hook-and-loop (such as Velcro). There are several similar pads out there for the various brands of sanders.

   Don't quote me here (as I've never actually seen the videos I did!), but I think I used three pads, each charged with a different polishing compound. (You don't want to use different compounds on the same pad.) Having several pads allowed me to easily switch from a somewhat coarse abrasive polishing compound, then a medium, and finally a fine compound, for a nice mirror sheen in just about no time.

   Thanks for the answer Andy. I thought you used abrasive pads but now I remember it was polishing compounds. I'm going to try your method on a cherry tabletop in the near future. Thanks again for your time.
