    Steve, no, I haven`t been spritzing the pad... have you tried a detail spray instead of water? `Next time, I`ll try your technique and less product.

    Right now I`m using a lot of M100 with wool (and like it) but I`m not giving up on Cut since you mentioned the combo specifically.

    If it dusted, you were using too much "CUT". Remember the cooler the pad runs, the less polish you need. On the other hand, wool will dust in general. That is the penalty for fast correction.

    I used to spritz with quick detailer but Daniel from Woody Wax (Detail Central) told me that water would be better. In fact he told me when a few of us got together for a catch up at my workshop on the same day that the car in my first picture arrived.



    Daniel has awesome product knowledge and he is an expert with the HD range so from that moment on I`ve only spritzed with water.

    Thomas, your explanation makes perfect sense... sometimes "I can`t see the forest for the trees...."

    No clue to be honest mate, I always used QD as well until Daniel (Woody Wax) told me to spritz the pad with water.



    Daniel has over 20 years of detailing experience so if he offers me tips like that then I will treat them like gold nuggets.



    Who knows, I might even have a go at detailing on my head one day if Daniel tells me that its better.... lol



    That`s the level of trust that I have in him.

    I`ve used water with various compounds, never tried it with HD Cut though.` And we oughta add a "don`t try this at home, kids!" disclaimer as somebody always reads this stuff and [messes] up their paint trying to, uhm...operate above their pay grade.

    Right about that. So many people take what is written in forums to heart and feel that they`re a pro in the making thinking they can do this stuff because so many make it look easy.`

    There are lots of people who, being experts in their field, think that automatically makes them an expert in *any* field, especially something as "simple" as detailing
