I don't know about you guys, but when I tried a foam pad the paint just melted 
it.
Let alone last 4 or 5 cars. As for a wool pad, It will probably get a lot of 
lint in
the finish. Your best bet it to get a good natural bristle brush when painting 
your
car. For a large car you might get away with using a roller.

If your careful with the brush you can get real close to the chrome and glass 
with
out getting any paint on them, I would definitely use tape if using a roller 
though
