wet cutting pad?

[NVCobra]

Hi, just was my orange pad and didnt get it as dry as normal. I knoticed much more hazing after my aplication. Is this a good way to get more cut out of a pad?? Im thinking the abrasives dont break down as fast resulting in more cutting action. Thx

Hi NVCobra,

Did you mean to type,

"Hi, just washed my orange pad and didn't get it as dry as normal?

Hey,

As I mentioned, Meguiar's does not recommend using a cutting pad with a PC as it IMO dulls down the surface. It may still have a nice gloss, but the depth is sometimes lacking as a result. But, I have no idea whether the orange cutting pad from another manufacturer is as aggressive as the Meguiar's Cutting Pad.

But to answer your question, from my experience sometimes adding water does indeed slightly slow the break down of the diminishing abrasives as the heat/friction is decreased. However, when a chemist from a given manufacturer designs a product, it should be used per label instructions. To go outside of the directions may result in unsatisfactory results. Hence, I would suggest using the product the way the chemists have designed it to be used. Just IMHO!
