Not sure what you want to brush on there. Hopefully you have several wheel rakes - they are sold on this site. A piece of old saw blade will work as well. Raking a new wheel will get rid of the fuzzies all at once. Of course, they might have given you a real cheap wheel, in which case it will disintegrate in short order. Use the rake every few minutes while polishing.

Have you read the manual on this site?

Say what? ! I'd say 5 is rather excessive, but more power to you if it works. Two is the most I've tried, and I prefer one 1" wheel. Seems like 5 would be too grabby and wouldn't fit anywhere anyhow, unless you're doing big areas.
