HD Speed with some Pad Problems

[beamerstrumpet]

If you need to push very hard then just step up in aggressiveness, keep it spinning, keep it smooth, keep it cool like the Fonz.

LOL YOu are showing your age!, and mine LOLOL He probably doesnt even know who the FONZ is LOLOL. However I may be wrong. no way of knowing an age in here.

NO where in this thread has he mentioned cleaning on the fly or giving them a quick wash and spin. BUY more than 4 pads. you need at least 4 of each grade. autoality has a great mix and match deal for B&S pads and the shipping is best deal also. (I think HD pads are made by B&S correct me if im wrong) or buy HD stuff, but def 4 of each, and practice cleaning them on the fly, grit guard with wash board attach works great! just a little APC and water and spin on wash board then spin out the water, and I use a terry towel to blot it and keep going. no need to spend 150 on a spring loaded bucket.

Why would you want to "use up" your 4" pads?? You`ll always need them for tight spaces like bumpers and pillars.
According to Mike`s article:

Correction step = 6 pads
1 for the hood
1 for the roof and trunk lid
2 for driver`s side
2 for passenger side


Polishing step = 4 pads (You could probably get away with 3 if you use 1 for hood, roof and trunk lid)

1 for the hood
1 for the roof and trunk lid
1 for driver`s side
1 for passenger side

Sealing the paint step = 1 waxing pad
Use over entire vehicle

Plus cleaning on the fly after every section or two at the most. Here`s a how to-- Link: How to clean your foam pad on the fly
