Facts about Felt: Felt cannot polish itself but is an efficient carrier of abrasive particles.  Felt Wheels have a reputation for out performing other polishing materials because they have the ability to accept all types of polishing compounds and slurries.  This in turn makes them an ideal friend of polishing materials.

Abrasive particles evenly get distributed in the pores of felt, thereby evenly polishing required surface.  Sheep's wool is considered to be one of the best resilient materials among natural fibers as it has the ability to hold desired edges and shape throughout the life of the wheel.  As felt wears, new surface has identical medium of polishing compound because felt surface does not get glazed.

Carbon felt is the highest grade wool felt.  Carbon felt wheels and other products are used for precision polishing where even a minute scratch can make a difference.  That is the main reason Carbon felt items are more expensive.

Felt Wheels and Felt Rings are "trued" at the factory so your buffing and polishing will be even on any surface.  This process is similar to how tires are balanced before installation on vehicles.

With a little care, your Felt Wheels and Knife Edge Wheels can last a long time.  At the end of your buffing and polishing, allow the felt wheel to continue to spin thru for several minutes so any remaining polishing compound residue can spit out.  Then let the felt wheel air dry before storing it to prevent molds.
