  • Buffing with Finishing Pad

    I tried to buff dried wax with Finishing Pad/W9207 and Edge White Pad (pad only, no MF bonnet whatsoever) and it comes out easily, even with hard wax like M16, makes me wanna do it all over again and leave my Microfiber towels behind. Buffing seems to be uniform and minimize problems of streaking/residue leftover. I inspected for new swirl marks and seems to be minimal, but my car hasn't been full detailed so it's kinda full of it anyway. I'm curious whether anyone else has tried it?

    Never eve head of removing wax without a bonnet of some kind. I wonder what the problems could be though. Anyway, if it works, it works.

      I don't think there would be a problem, especially since many people use a finishing pad to apply the wax to begin with. I haven't tried it, but I may give it a shot next waxing since I wasn't too satisfied with the microfiber bonnet over a cutting pad method.

        I have never had a issue with the cutting pad and microfiber bonnet to remove the wax. I would be hesitant to remove wax without some type of bonnet to remove the wax.

          Depending on the size of the vehicle, I would think removing wax would tend to load the pad up, even though its dry. Just seems like it wouldn't provide even removal. Would be interesting to try though.
          There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

            Well tried it with medium size vehicle and the 7" pad buffed 90% of the residue.. had to do the rest manually with MF towel, on hard to reach spots. I've been dying to tryout MF Bonnet but none is available locally hence the buffing pad take place

            @JA Michaels what does the 23jam in your avatar stands for if you don't mind me asking?

              When I first signed up on this forum. I went by the name 23Jam. After a while, I changed it to what you see now. I just placed the aka 23jam up there so people would know I was still on the forum.
