I have used both the foil and the wadding. I really like the foil for large parts that I can do over the sink or a large basin, because the foil needs to be kept wet. I like the wadding for small parts but my favorite is called wenol. A cream that I wipe on and polish off.
You want to make sure to use Denatured alcohol not isopropyl, something about the water content and making things cloudy.
Have fun with your little beauty.
