Is this normal for 83?

Seems like 83 "gums" up with me. Or builds up on the pad. Maybe it's me.
Thanks all.

Clean your pad often.

How often?

I clean my pad after each section I polish and often times during each section I'm working on. I would say that most people don't clean their pads often enough.

How do you clean your pads ??

[kellyinkc]

Don't clean them enough I found out.
The outer edge balled up and threw stuff all over the hood. Was not sure how oftem to clean them so I let it go.
I rinse them in warm water and squeeze the pad and air dry.

UUUGGGHHH! I guess I have to order another pad. I didn't plan on having to clean the pad several times during the session.

Mike,

How do you clean your pads?

For cleaning pads with a PC.....take a clean terry cloth towel and hold it firmly against the pad and turn on the PC. This will transfer product to the towel to clean it while you are working on the car.

If your pad gets too saturated, use another pad.

Also you can use this brush..



In the classes i went to Rod used it with the rotary, but i found a way but you have to step away from the car or the residue will shoot all over the car, is the g100 spins so just hold the brush lightly onto the pad and let it spin. If you hold it to tight it won't spin. Or if you have a rotary you can use it with that.
