same pad more then once over a period of time & Silver paint ??

[11Frontier]

Between the heat, Thunderstorms and work I have to work on my truck over the course of a week or so, so my question is if I load up the pad to do a section can I save the pad to do the next section without cleaning it every time? I just feel like I am wasting product and time.

I am just doing a light correction using Uber AIO and then WDGPS.

Silver: am I doing something wrong ?

I don't know how you guys do light colored cars? I either don't see any product going on or I have to keep looking sideways and I barely see anything showing up when I do my truck. The section gets warm and no longer smooth but It looks like the product is breaking down right away. After wiping with the MF towel it's back to being smooth and shiny but I dont see anything like when I watch the videos of dark colored cars.

very frustrating.

Yes. If you're pads are "clean" after 1 panel then yes. Good practice is to use 5-6 pads per vehicle. IF your pads are dirty after one panel then you need to decontaminate better.

sounds like you've determined your paint is pretty clean.

Sounds about right actually. You don't want to see a lot product. I've not used their AIO but even HDSpeed will break down and run more clear. If you sense the product is drying which is sounds like, perhaps the temps are pretty high or the paint is hot?

Overall though if you are seeing the correction and the product is working I think you're good.

Yes the paint is pretty clean. It's not a DD more weekender. One owner - me and it's only ever been hand washed by me.

It's not that I don't see much product - I don't see any product going on. I really only see that it's not shiny anymore after a pass and it's warmer to the touch then when I started.

Temps: It's hot out but I'm doing it in the evening, shade side of the vehicle which is slightly warm to the touch and the sun is setting on the opposite side.

I will check the pad after I use it and if it's clean then I will decide whether or not to bag it. But if it's 5-6 per vehicle then I think I am good. I was thinking 4-5.

each bed side (1) = 2
front fenders 1/2 hood (1) = 2
Roof top and tailgate - 1

Thanks for the reply.
