thanks for the answers everyone, i will keep an eye out for these signs, and use the most common when in doubt replace. How many cars do you get out of your pads, lets say 50% light swirls, da polisher no compound, but orange pad used.
This is not a put down by my .02cents. and something all should think about. I wrench on cars at the shop I work at full time, and detail on the side. One thing I do know is there are 100's of different torque specs per year, make and model. Also we run into alot of cars having damage done to...
If you cannot get a hold of him, I will do a full review for you. and no I am not trying to step on their feet. Just posting for a chance, understanding that it is prolly gone. Thank!
I have about 50 bottles of products that I didnt want to put on here because it they are OTC from starting this obsession 2-3 years ago.
Sometime I will get pictures of everything because I like looking at the garage pictures and everything.
But as someone else said.... come on people we need...
I know I have been asking alot today.
But in all the searching I have done I have not seen this pop up and maybe it will help myself being I do not know much about pads, and maybe others.
My question is just that.
1. How do you know when your pad is done and needs to be tossed.
Oh your fine Akimel, In the past Ive only used it on clear coat finish and I did a wipe on wipe off, but after reading his write up, I want to take some time to bring the life back into the single stage bumper. and I am sure I will run into a problem maybe of getting it off, and thats just...

I will give it a shot. I want to in part "feed" the paint to help it out. The car is always sitting outside due to the fact I live in an apartment at this time. I will give it the time to "feed" the paint while I do the rest of the car. But I will work it in before I let it rest.
Thanks Mike!
Well I am spamming up the forums today :)
Car: 1991 toyota corolla Le
Paint... org. clear coated paint. BUT! rear bumper and mirrors are single stage.
I looked at Mike write up some last night on using #7
I want to use it for the oil prospective and how the single stage will put that...
I must say sorry I think I worded that wrong. The pad does have some spent product on it because of working the area... but there is a gummy film on the car, it came down to me having to work alot more then I thought I had to for a 2x2 section. I ended up having to use a QD to take it off the...
Again thanks for the replys.
Mike we do have some local stores that sell that, I have seen it when buying #7 which I now know how to really use thanks to your write up. I was just using it as a wipe on, wipe off product and never gave it time to rest.
I will take multiple steps to find what I...
Thank you for your time guys! amazing replys to be honest with you. I am def. doing a test spot to try my steps out. Ive been researching for months on how to get it to a fine liking of my taste and what I am comfortable with. Thanks again.
I always worry about slips of the foot when cleaning these... I put all the detail products away and use a nice soft brush and Dawn dish soap. never fails.
wow if you can understand anything I said hats off to you. sorry its about time to hit the sack, been up sense 5 this morning after going to bed at 2 in the morning.
Can you feel it with a gently touch of your fingernail? Meaning becareful not to pick at it, just see if you feel it... Try a IPA wipe down of the area, clay, then with a MF with a good cut M205 first to see if the least cut will buff it out or lessen the eye sore, if not maybe step it up with...
I am looking at detailing this weekend. Using a DA for the first time. The Car is a 1991 toyota corolla LE, It is clear coated. I am going to be doing this detail as my correction detail.
I am thinking that I may need to step it up to m105 but I will be starting with M205.
I use to do all of...
