MF correction system question

[renegadejade]

I just received the new mf correction system. I used it today on my speedway blue toyota corolla s. I only did the portion of the roof as my test spot behind my sunroof. I was using a brush to clean the pad but even running the brush over it the mf pad still stayed matted down. I ran it on speed 4 to clean and to correct. My question is was there just to much product or was I not using enough pressure on the brush? I don't know what to do. I have read all the rants and raves of this product and wondering what I am doing wrong?

Re: MF correction system question

just brush it. don't be afraid.
But blowing it it the best way to clean it.
Also clean it and switch with a new one. I go through a few a car.

Thanks PWMD. I currently live in a very small house and really have no room for a compressor...I want one really bad but it will come when I move back home. I will keep update this tomorrow when I try again.

I didn't even see it was you who posted, lol.
I use a brush regularly then when it gets to full of product I clean it in my pad washer and get another one.
You don't really need a compressor. but it's the recommended cleaning process.

Also clean out your in box. I couldn't message you today.

Re: MF correction system question

Using a decent pad conditioning brush should easily fluff those fibers back up, but you may find it easier to do so with the tool switched off. If you hold the buffer in one hand by grasping the shroud around the counterweight so that the backing plate is held in place, brushing should work really well. It's a good idea to brush in one direction, spin the pad 90 degrees and brush again, repeating this a few times. The idea being brushing or blowing out the pads is really less about just fluffing up the fibers and more about seriously cleaning them out. Microfiber is great at hanging on to stuff, and as you remove that fine bit of paint and/or the products starts to dry up, you'll get some clumping of harder material that can cause problems during the correction process. Regular, frequent cleaning of the pad prevents this.

As to the amount of product being used, once that pad is primed with D300 and brushed out, you only need about 3 pea sized drops of D300 or other compound for each 2' x 2' section. Using more will actually slow down your progress. Less really is more here.
