4-inch spot pad advice

[spotpad]

I`ll have to agree with Accumulator regarding the number of pads. I`ll probably stick with 8 for good measure. Better to have a little more than not enough. :up



As for PC vs rotary for drying pads, I`ll have to go with the rotary.



I normally get a majority of the water out from soaked 7.5" & 8" pads by "throwing" all the water out: I hold a quarter section of the pad gently and pretend to throw it to the ground (without letting go, of course) so the water gets expelled from the pad. I do this about four times and each time I hold a different quarter section.



Any remaining water will then be handled by the spin dry with the rotary @ 600rpm initially for 5 seconds, then 900rpm, then 1200rpm.



There will still be some water in there but the sun normally takes care of that.



I imagine it`ll be so much easier with the 4-inch pads.

Whenever I spin-dry a pad on the PC it ends up going flying I keep a plastic tub in the shop just to contain the splatter from spin-drying, but I do it with the rotary or the Cyclo.

Aha! Great suggestion regarding the tub, Accumulator! I can`t believe I didn`t think of that. Doh!
