  • Pad Powder?

    Today I washed my car and then I realized how there were a few water-spots still in the paint. I used some SwirlX by hand which helped but I was short on time so I busted out the DA. I put on a used (but clean) yellow polishing SoftBuff 2.0 pad. I shook up the product and put it on the pad in a "cross" formation. As soon as I put the pad on the paint and fired up the DA, tiny yellow pad particles shot all over the front of my just-washed car. I added more product and tried again and the same thing happened.

    Finally, I was short on time and needed to get this done without making a bigger mess so I sprayed the pad with Last Touch and then continued and it stopped. It should be noted that I've owned the pad for a while and only used it a few times. However, one of the times I used it was during an intense paint cleaning session and the pad is somewhat "bumpy" from the heat and cleaning.

    Has this happened to anyone else? Is it normal? How can I avoid it? Thanks.

    So the bits were definately yellow pad, not product?

      Yeah. This has happened before too but not as bad. I had to use Last Touch and a microfiber to get it all off after.

        Try using a combination of T-Cut, and Wax.
        Put the T-Cut on, wait til it dries. Don't wipe it off like it tells you on the bottle, instead, put the wax straight on, leave til it dries and wipe off
