To clean my pads I use a brush and do it with a spinning pad which I do after each section. After I get two or three panels done I switch to a clean pad. I used seven pads for the compounding with the fg400. As for the other pads I don`t have as many just 5 of each polishing and finishing but I most likely will only get half of each step done a day. I worked in concrete construction (poured concrete foundations) for over 35 years and it has taken a toll on my body.
As far as speeds go I have been at around a 4.5 for the compounding and will move up to 5.5 to 6 for the polishing.
Yes that is a GG6 but the other is a Torq 22d which I have a 5" back plate on. If I would run out of pads before I am done for the day I could just put the 6" plate on since I have plenty of 6" pads also.
As far as lighting goes I have enough for what I am doing even tho I have to move them as I go 2 sets of the double leds and a single on the floor. I plan on painting the walls a gloss white and the floor a light gray some time this summer and then I will put in a few of the double 4` leds two on each side and one on each end.
Here is a shot of my progress so far.
In the pic I did try the adapt on the right side hood (left in the pic). I also was wondering about polishing the clear bra. I had planned on doing it with essence since that is what is on it now topped with reload and I am sure the WGUC will have a problem with the reload and I know of no way to remove it without polishing it off. But if I could polish the clear bra with like the 4000 I would just do that and then coat with the uber.
