@amounifnd Год назад

love those velcro buttons, never seen them before. what are you using as a pad cleaner ?

@SkyCarCare Год назад

Thanks! Well, I try not to overthink it on the pad cleaner... Any APC you keep in your arsenal or even a microfiber cleaning soap. Have some in a bucket and then spray a little P21S total auto wash on the face of the pad when you take it off and drop to face down in the bucket. P21S because I feel like it is less likely to deteriorate the foam when sprayed directly on it... MFX from CARPRO would be even safer but maybe not remove polish residue as well. Both are good options I believe.

Hi great video and tips! Im just getting into polishing. I want to polish my car but, i don’t want to invest too much at the moment. At firsti was just going to hand polish, but after watching a few videos i realized it was going to be a long and tiring job so i decided i would just buy a cheap DA. Im not expecting much out of it but it would be 100% better then elbow grease right 😂 Will i be okay to use one pad all around the car. Giving it time to cool off after each section? I will not be using air by the way just the brush. Thank you!😊

@customerservice9897 Год назад

Hi Aren, yes... WAY easier by machine. Great idea! I would get at least 2 pads. You can get by with 1 pad assuming it does not delaminate. While not optimal and certainly slower as it gets more clogged as you go, you can do it.

@kenc.9067 8 месяцев назад

Dude, don't do it by hand. Harbor Freight makes a decent dual action polisher for around $50. Foam pads about $10 each. Your elbows and shoulders will thank you later.

@Jopakilo 8 дней назад

Can 3inch backing plate be used in 5inch size polisher? I see no one did this.

@SkyCarCare 8 дней назад

No, 3" plate will not work right on a 5" machine.

@bluegrasskid4835 Год назад

Do you recommend avoiding Pad Washers like the Lake Country System 4000 to clean pads as you move the pad from section to section? My problem with them is, even after spinning the pad after cleaning it, the pad still has some solution, even a small amount, in the pad and I often wondered if that would interfere with the polish. I am fine with them when it is time to retire the pad for the day and you will be grabbing a clean pad to continue polishing but I have always had an uneasy feeling about using them on the go if my question makes sense.

@seventysschev Год назад

How long and what speed are you spin drying your pads?

@bluegrasskid4835 Год назад

@seventysschev As fast as possible to remove as much liquid as possible.

@77rommel Год назад

I use ONR in my pad washer and it works great being slightly damp!

@Defiansy Год назад

When I use a foam pad after the pad washer the pad feels softer and I think it decrease the cutting capabilities. But it cleans the pad amazingly good

@SkyCarCare Год назад

We do not have a preference either way - I think there is a place for the pad washers for sure since it is SOOOO MUCH work to clean them after but on the fly during the job I lean towards the methods I mentioned here. It is possible and likely that any residue form the cleaning solution WILL change the polish or compound and pad SOME but in most cases it should not be a concern. Basically, I wouldn't worry about it unless you can notice a time loss or lessening of the quality of finish with a certain combo after using it.

@flowinthrou 11 месяцев назад

What if we wash the pad, put it on the machine on maximum speed to rinse it off and then continue with our compound/polish again. And finish off the car with one pad. That way we always keep the pad cool as well as prevent dusting. What do you think? (this is Ivan`s method)

@SkyCarCare 11 месяцев назад

Some pads may work fine like that but there are also some that may be more prone to delamination if you introduce water to the pad while polishing.

@GlennFrost321 Год назад

Can one pad be used for both compound and polish? Assuming you cleaned in between...

@SkyCarCare Год назад

The short answer is yes. A pad like this would be capable of both www.carpro-us.com/latest-arrivals/skys-the-limit-5-1-2-cutting-blue-spider-pad/ But if you want heavier cut then you would go even heavier on the pad like the Sandwich Spider and if you wanted optimal finish, on some paints you would be better off with the Honey Spider. All depends on your goal, and the paint. You can vary the pad, the compound, the speed, the pressure, or a combination of these to achieve those results.
