| That makes sense, and I will do that next time but once the pad got to the point where I would say that it was primed, the polish on the pad was very sticky and gummy. What's up with that? I've never seen anything like this on a PC.
Here's a quote from the CMA website:
"While some manufacturers recommend buffing with their pads flat on the surface, I have never mastered this technique. I find the larger, 8 inch pads used on circular polishers are very squirrelly when placed flat on the surface. I find that tilting the polisher just a little gives me much more control over the pad. The manufacturer of our advanced, variable contour foam pads recommends tilting the polisher slightly, putting just a little more pressure on the pad's edge."
I was trying to keep the pad as flat as possible. Was this my mistake? Should I have been tilting it? I was under the impression that you would induce swirls if you tilted the pad? |
