Selecting the right option

The two mops differ in diameter only: AAMOP150/1 is 150mm (6") and AAMOP200/1 is 200mm (8"), so match the size to your grinder. Abbott & Ashby recommends a loose leaf calico mop for high gloss polishing, and a stitched mop for cutting back or general purpose work. For compounds, green and white compound are used with a loose leaf calico mop, and red compound can be used with a stitched rag or loose leaf calico mop; grey compound is for stitched mops only. Keep a separate mop for each compound and label it clearly (manufacturer-stated).
