How would you guys remove these wash marks on a set of wheels. 3" pad will work everywhere but wont get completely between the spokes, only about half way. Should I just cut/trim a 3" flash pad to fit? Will also have to trim the backing plate. Also, If I were to coat them what would be best? CQ,CQUK? Will wheel wollies be safe enough to clean them in the future without adding any brush marks?

^^ This! I have both the Mothers large power ball and small power ball and use them often, they work great! I use them with my corded drill as I don't feel I get enough torque with my cordless. These were done with a power ball and a few old pads cut into pieces and used by hand...

I used Meguiar's Dynacone, from photos and reviews it looked better than Mothers power cone which I've never tried so i can't compare..
Transferred wheels from this:

303

To this (coated with Dlux after polishing):

304

If you're going to use it on a full set of wheels and more than 1 step, you better have more than one or clean it well between wheels/steps.. Otherwise it'll start shredding and will not be usable anymore just like mine did :)
