Every detailer should have two things: a good pad cleaner and a good pad conditioner. The pad is the contact point between you and the vehicle; all your work affects the paint by way of the pad. If the pad is dry and rough, it could create more fine swirls that will have to be polished out. If the pad has residues from the last job, it could cause some smearing and cloudiness you hadn’t anticipated. In either case, the condition of the pads is causing you to work harder.



Take care of your foam and wool pads and they’ll take care of you. It sounds like a catch phrase, but it’s absolutely true. Supple, flexible foam and clean, cushiony wool will deliver better results than dry, brittle foam and tangled, stiff wool. The Pinnacle XMT Pad Care Combo gives you that advantage so you’ll get the results you want.

Besides just working better, pads that are kept clean and conditioned will last longer. Think of the friction that occurs when you start polishing with a bone dry pad, when the lubricants in the polish haven’t activated yet. That friction can create fine swirls on the paint that weren’t there before. Plus, it wears out the pad faster. Pads that aren’t properly cleaned become dry and brittle due to all the residue and you just can’t use them in that condition. In the trash they go.



The Pinnacle XMT Pad Care Combo cleans and conditions pads properly to prolong their life and enhance their performance. You’ll get more value out of each pad, and you’ll find that well-maintained pads are easier to use. It’s a win-win situation.

Here’s what you do: before using a dry pad, mist it with Pinnacle XMT Pad Conditioner. This conditioner lubricates and softens the pad to open its pores and “prime” it for the polish. You can’t start a lawnmower without priming the motor – same principle applies. The conditioner eliminates the initial friction of a dry pad against the paint. The lubrication is gentler on the pad and the paint. With the pad properly conditioned, it glides over the paint easily. The product spreads more easily and you get better, more uniform coverage, with less work.



As you polish, give the pad a light mist if it seems to get “gummed up”. Wool pads are particularly prone to this. Pinnacle XMT Polishing Pad Conditioner will add enough lubrication to get the pad moving again.



Once you’ve used a pad, rather than tossing it aside, spray it with Pinnacle XMT Polishing Pad Cleaner. This intense cleaner penetrates and breaks up oily residues. When you’re finished detailing, use a foam conditioning brush to agitate the pad to help release caked waxes or polishes. Then rinse. Pinnacle XMT Polishing Pad Conditioner leaves no residue. The next time you use the pads, they’ll be clean and supple.



The Pinnacle XMT Pad Care Combo should be in every detailer’s arsenal. Pads are expensive. These two products will help you get the most value out of your foam and wool pads.
