I don't get what the "blue stuff made for finishing metal or the no scratch stuff" is. Is this a scotch brite pad, too, or is it some kind of paste or such?

And when you say "Then put on the finishing pads and do that for about 5 minutes" are you talking about "blue stuff or no scratch stuff" pads or are there some other scotch brite finishing pads you're talking about or is this a paste?

How thick are these pads, and where would I get some?

Sorry I'm asking what probably are pretty stupid questions to you, but I've never heard of scotch brite.

Thanks, though, as I do want to try this myself.
