What`s all these dusts coming off my pads?

**! apmljv** · 12-12-2005, 10:22 PM

Whenever i work with DACP, PO106FF, at speed around 5. I get all these dusts coming off especially at corners of the car. Am I doing something wrong? It seems I may be doing it too fast, perhaps I need it work it at a lower speed?

Thanks

Does your pad have some dried polish in it from a previous use?

i recently used PO85RD and noticed that after you work the polish for a while, it does dust considerably. PO106FF is the same thing as 85RD except that it has a higher concentration of abrasives. It should dust just like 85RD does.

Use less DACP. After my pad is primed i use only like 4 pea sizes drops.

I`m going out on a limb and thinking that you`ve never polished with a PC before. If so, some polishes do dry out and create dust when your polishing. Some are worse than others. The poorboy`s SSR series creates alot of dust while polishes like those made by Optimum create very little to no dust at all. Don`t be alarmed when your polishes start to dust up, its perfectly normal. You can use the dusting as a sign that you need to add more polish to the pad soon.

Initially I thought was the same thing -- compound dried out from previous use. Although, I can`t seem to see any (perhaps not thru naked eyes).

I`ve tried using less compound and lower speed.

Maybe my cleaning process for the pads isn`t right? I basically let it sit in a bucket with dish washer soap (dawn) for a bit, then rinse it out. I then put it on PC to spin it to get the water out.

How do you guys clean the pads?
