what is the effect of say: using a scotch brite pad to apply a cleaner/polish?
And which ones work well together for medium conditions. Just a ball park appraisal is fine!

The effect of saying, "using a Scotch Brite pad to apply polish" is counterproductive because Dcotch Brite pads are abrasives. Using a Scotch Brite pad to apply a cleaner like CLean and Dull is useful because it helps either restore the ball's surface or initiates the re-surfacing process, depending on which grit of SB you use and what grit the ball was before you applied the SB.
(Not sure what you were implying by using the phrase, "the effect of saying"?)
