"Test Spots"

[MUGEN SI]

Sorry if its a dumb question but im curious what you guys do for your test spots and the pads you use. Say for example I start with #80 and there are no results and i want to try another product. Do you guys grab a fresh pad always or do you have a dedicated pad for each product? I cant afford to buy a ton of pads so how can I do a test spot with minimum amount of pads?

Yes we use 1 dedicated pad for each product. Personally I have them marked on the back of the pad. What I would suggest is that you go to ADS and go with the 6 pad special. Here is a link. 6-Pack Special Mix & match any combination.

That would be a great start for you.

Going with the 6-pack, I would say 1 cutting, 3 polishing, and 2 finishing as a start.

Yah I ordered my g110 from Rick, great so far! Still learning though, as I am still afraid to use it on my new car though. So if I do a test spot and I dont like it, I just bag it up and save it? Do I have to clean the pad or just let it dry with the product on there

Re: "Test Spots"

Clean your pad on the fly which means you should take a terry towel and with the DA spinning the pad push the towel into the face of the pad to remove as much product as you can. The new pads are also machine washable which will help you with cleaning. You don't need to wash your pads after every use, just when you think they are to dirty to use anymore. Just be sure to let them air dry before putting them in a sealed bag to prevent mold from setting in.
