What do you use to load a pad?

I was checking out the autogeek videos and they use XMT Polishing Pad Conditioner to soften the pad, searching around on this site I've seen people mention that product or to use a quick detailer spray.



So...my question is how do you load your pads? Quick detailer spray? Just let the polish/wax smear around the pad? Or do you use XMT Polishing Pad Conditioner or some other pad conditioner brand?
 
some people will apply a polish/wax on the pad in a "x" or "circle" pattern and then either smear it around or lay the pad w/ product directly on the finish, and then begin their work... if you're talking about priming the pad with qd/conditoner beforehand, i don't do it as i just do the above...
 
You mean before you start polishing with a dry pad right? Hell i just spray some quick detailer on it. Works fine for me, i'm sure i could go all out and buy some special pad conditioner but i'm not as anal as most weekend warriors.
 
I dont use any QD or anything on my pads. I just put the polish on my pads in an "X" pattern and go at it. If I get a lot of dusting for some reason I just do a squirt of Clearkotes Quick Shine or something I have laying around.
