Dried Polish on PC Pad

[Kenney]

I am about 30 mins into polishing my car with SSR 2.5, and I notice that on the pad I am using that there is some dried product on it around the outer portion of the pad that touches the paint. Is this still safe to use?





thanks!

I'd remove the dried polish. You can try rubbing some more product into the dried areas and then wiping it with a towel. Or just wash it and squeeze it dry (I don't recommend spinning it dry as it might fly off and get into something dirty).



Generally, it's not good to rub dried polish into your paint.

get a nylon brush and brush the dry residue off

You can wash it and then spin dry inside a bucket.

~One manâ€â„¢s opinion / observations

A word of caution when using foam pads, check the pad face for residue build-up, when loaded with dried product they have an abrasive action that could be detrimental to the paint finish. Clean residue from pads often with a soft horsehair brush, nylon or metal may damage the foam



~Hope this helps~
