How clean do pads need to be?

Does everyone here use a PC, either the 7335, 7336, or 7424? Does anybody use anything else, say a Craftsman, Waxmaster (I think that's what it's called), or one of those nifty Cyclons with the twin oribitals?

Also, does anybody here use a rotary? Why or why not, and how much expierence does one have to have to operate one of them?
 
Chuckmotor,



Every Little Detail uses a rotary on his clients' cars. Might want to e-mail/PM him if you have specific questions. Who knows....maybe that's just what your car needs to get that deep dark black again! :)
 
MOST of us use the PC.



The others I've seen use larger pad (less PSI) and less power - so they're probably OK for applying/buffing waxes and glazes. Definitely not as good for ppolishing/swirl removing.
 
I use a rotary all the time. Enybody can us one, but it does take some time to learn a good technique A rotary can restor a pretty bad looking paint finish, that may have bad scratches, oxidation and swirlmarks, that's something you can't do by hand, that's why i use one.:)
 
If I use a pad in the morning and let it sit around until late afternoon, will it be too "dry" to reuse, thus requiring a new pad? Or can I either give it some water or just apply more product and go at it? Will the dried polish create problems?

Just trying to keep just 1 pad per product rather than using 2 pads. I work from home so i'm polishing up my car as a break :P

Thanks in advance!

ps, I'm using a flex 3401 and menzerna super polish.
