    I`m interested in this tip. Can you use the QD spray with most compounds and polishes? I use MALCO True Grit and Rejuvenator mostly (Sorry, don`t know the abbreviations yet.) and notice that they get dry and tacky very quickly and I begin to get that hopping situation and really have to muscle my machine to keep it smooth and steady. (Not pressing down harder...just keeping the the machine from jumping around.) This would cause no problems with the product or the surface??

    I just spray a small amount of OD or even water on the panel...that seems to thin out the product and keeps the buildup down...I clean the surface of the pad about every 3 to 4 times that I use it...just helps to keep the pad from hoping...I also work with the pad at a very slight angle...if the pad is flat on the surface it hops pretty fast IMO
