I find it really hard to believe that they are removing much material with a scotch brite pad.  Abrasive polishing takes off little more than a couple tens of micro-inches.

TECHNIQUE ON HOW THE TOUR VAN GUYS ARE MILLING, (SANDING, THINNING) DOWN THE FACES OF DRIVERS. can YOU TELL ME WHAT PIECE OF MACHINERY ARE THEY USING


Spoke to a few Tour Van Guys, they are using a 3M finishing wheel on a buffing motor, sweeping back and forth, concentrating on center of face. They don't know how much material is being removed either, one said "if I remove too much, the face cracks and the manufacturer replaces the head." Got some heads you want to throw away, go to it.  I question the practice because you are reducing the depth of the grooves and may be causing the head to non conform to COR rules. What are you gaining? Experience and dirty hands! I think it's all part of the "dog and pony show" I get better results by applying a thin layer of snake oil and rubbing it in with a piece of specially formulated cotton tee shirt.  Grunt a lot while doing this, wipe the sweat from your brow, and charge accordingly!
