Uses of the Factory White PC Pad

White95Max · 02-26-05, 08:42

What can this be used for? I've seen a lot of people say that they never use it, or they threw it away. I am thinking that I'll use it for one of two purposes:
Polishing headlights with Mothers Plastic Polish...or
polishing metal in the engine bay with Mothers mag/alum polish.

Does anyone else actually use the factory pad?

I would first like to know what it's made of? Doesn't feel like any foam pad i've used b4

I use it to hold MF bonnets... that's about it... too many stories of flying foam to risk anything else!

Well for these purposes I would use it on 2-3, definitely not 5 or 6.

How about glass polishing with VM?

That's another idea! I don't have any VM as of yet, but I think I'll be getting some soon.

I would use the white pad that came with the pc just as I would use any polishing pad. It is a good pad even though people dont think it is. Think about it, some people like some pads and others dont. its all about you and whether you get good results with it.

I agree. It's a decent pad, but it just isn't going to last vey long. Might as well use it until it shreds.

...to hold you over until you get your order of real polishing pads!

i actually used it since 1) i didn't have any pads at all; 2) i was dying to try out my new PC; and 3) i had a bottle of Meg's #80 Speed Glaze and my mom's car with swirls. it took a while but it actually was decent enough to remove some of the swirls. but then it fell apart and i had to throw it away.

I use it to polish glass, works well for me.

I use at slow speeds with chemical paint cleaners like Medallion Premium Paint Cleaner and others. Using it on glass sounds like a great idea too.
