the foam pad is safer, harder to burn the paint with it. But it doesn't cut like wool either. It's just faster to use the wool pad for the first pass, then follow with the foam. It also really speeds the buffing process to be patient and meticulous with the sanding; the finer you work up to and end with (like 2500 grit) the easier and faster the buffing is.
