While browsing another forum, I followed a link someone had provided. This picture on the page kind of caught my interest and I want to know what the first thing is, you notice. Im not saying if its a good thing or bad thing, i just want readers opinions on the pic, and usage/technique being applied with the PC. This should bring up some interesting discussions after several posts...

Doesn't look like it's running, it looks like he's lifted a bit to adjust the speed more than anything else.



If it is running, most of us would agree that it should be held flat. Most of us here also don't use the screw-in handle that he's using in the pic. Maybe it's a guy that's got rotary experience and just started using a PC?
 
I have my handle on all the time. I dont hold it much, but when i set it down, it keeps the pc from tipping over onto the pad.
 
Perhaps not the best picture to judge this from but it does look like an orange pad is too aggressive for that paintwork (at least on my LCD monitor).
 
Man, that orange pad going wooble like a bit*ch. Dude didnt center it right enuf(black verlcro its more than other side).
 
I guess where you're going with this is that the backing plate is going to cookie cut the pad because he's off-center and applying uneven pressure, and he might think he got a defective pad instead of concentrating on his technique.
 
It looks like it's off and the user is adjusting the speed. Also looks like one of those flexible backing plates. I'm not to familiar with the flexilble ones. I'm still using the ridgid backing plate that I got from coastal tool when I bought my PC. I remember reading some interesting things about the flexible backing plates, but I forgot where I read about them.
 
I wouldn't be too critical about that pic - looks like he's just stopped to adjust the speed, for all we know he could have looped the cable over his shoulder a second after that pic was taken. My orange pad is alot stiffer than that too.

LMFAO !!!! :woohoo:
 
I have to agree with the observations so far. Here's mine: With an orange pad, he has to be polishing. If he is adjusting the speed on the on the car like that he is probably increasing the speed after applying the polish to the car, but where's the product on the car?
