hey, i got a buddy who is gonna hire me to buff out cars he buys to sell on ebay and i was wondering if the single stage paint comes out of the pads when you wash them or if it permanently stains the pad paint color. Would it be wise to pick up another array of pads and have some for just S/S and some for just B/C, or will the paint wash out and i can use same pads for both types of paint.

Re: Single Stage paint and SoftBuff 2.0 Pads
They will wash out pretty good actually. I was actually amazed how well they came out, you would not have known the pad was loaded with red paint.

Re: Single Stage paint and SoftBuff 2.0 Pads
It might be different, but after I did the SS paint on my re-painted Accord, my LC pad was the same color as my car! But, I just hand washed it in hot water and it all came out.Comment

Re: Single Stage paint and SoftBuff 2.0 Pads
If you're going to wash them in the washing machine, I would recommend pre-washing them first to get most of the pigment/dead paint out before tossing them in the washer.

Great tip, Colin. Hate to have all that paint transfer to the inside of the washer.Originally posted by cnfowler View Postquality creates its own demandComment

Re: Single Stage paint and SoftBuff 2.0 Pads
Absolutely agreed. I usually hand wash all my pads in the utility tub in my basement before throwing them in the washing machine regardless what I've been buffing with them.Originally posted by cnfowler View PostComment

Re: Single Stage paint and SoftBuff 2.0 Pads
