    LC orange pads losing stiffness?

    Thanks for the links Mike, time to do some reading! Appreciate everyone's responses! I need to readjust my thinking of how much product I use it looks like! So when using an AIO like 3D HD Speed, I need to use an ample amount, then after the first section pass do I reduce the amount I use, or...

    LC orange pads losing stiffness?

    Well I definitely know one of my pads I let get too wet and saturated with product yesterday. I was priming the pads, then adding 3 pea sized drops of product. Then after each panel pass I would use my brush on the pad, then add 2-3 more drops and move to the next section. At one point it...

    LC orange pads losing stiffness?

    I was under the impression that dry/unprimed pads didn't perform as well?

    LC orange pads losing stiffness?

    Thanks Mike! I had them drying overnight and this morning they still feel really soft compared to a brand new Orange pad. Do they still have the same cutting ability?

    LC orange pads losing stiffness?

    So I hand washed the pads last night and then washed them in the washing machine and set them up to dry. This morning evaluating them, those two pads are still just as soft. Sounds like they've lost their cut?

    LC orange pads losing stiffness?

    They were both wet after soaking in water, prior to being agitated with a pad brush and cleaner. Of the five orange orange pads I have, I used 4 today doing a one step correction with HD Speed on a Toyota Corolla.

    LC orange pads losing stiffness?

    I'm relatively new to machine polishing and out of my five orange LC flat pads I have two that I've used the most on my Griot's G9. Granted I've only done one full car, and I've done a single hood, and a motorcycle tank as practice. After I did the first full car today I'm cleaning my pads out...

    PlastX for piano black interior trim?

    My 2016 Mazda 3 has piano black on the center console and around the shifter. It's picking up a few small scratches here and there. Wondering if I could use something like PlastX to clean up some of those scratches? Then perhaps remove the trim and "wrap" it in clear PPF to prevent it happening...

    LC Yellow pads or LC MF Cutting pads?

    UPDATE: Sad to say, there's nothing I can do for this hood. I washed it down today, as I dried it my drying towel kept coming back dirty. I started to clay it, no matter how many times I wet it down with QD, kneaded the clay over and clayed it always came up black. Hell, I even broke out a...

    Reusing DA pads with different product after wash?

    Makes perfect sense Mike! I'll be using mostly Meguiar's products, namely M105/M205/Ultimate Compound/M21/Ultimate Liquid Wax. I do have a bottle of 3D HD Speed I'm dying to try out as well though! I would assume all of these fall in the "great abrasive" technology spectrum?

    LC Yellow pads or LC MF Cutting pads?

    Thanks! Would I need more than a single MF Cutting pad to do the whole hood?
