What a great video. Very nice meeting you at SEMA Mike - my wife and i asked you numerous questions about the gear driven polisher vs DA. Thanks again for
Great to meet and talk to you at SEMA this year also, SEMA is a lot of work but a spectacular event in every way. Thanks for watching and commenting. -Mike Phillips
Thanks for the suggestion, I've added it to a list of topics to cover in the future. This would be a video on how to correctly clean *FOAM* pads as we already have a fresh video on how to clean traditional wool pads like used on rotary polishers. *6 Methods For CLEANING Wool Buffing Pads!* ua-cam.com/video/lWDBFOEqWQo/v-deo.html Thank you for watching and commenting - stay tuned. -Mike Phillips
How many pads should I be using on an average size car per product? Thanks You have the BEST tutorials. BTW using a Porter Cable 7424. Weekend warrrior 6 car owner. OK got it. Thanks
Great question. With foam pads on a Porter Cable, Heavy compounding for entire passenger car - 6 foam cutting pads should get the job done. Light polishing for entire passenger car - 6 foam polishing pads should get the job done. Machine applying a wax or synthetic paint sealant - 1 pad is all that's needed. The above are just general numbers. When using tools like the PC, you will start to lose good pad rotation and pad oscillation as the pad becomes wet with product. So, when doing have compounding or even heavy polishing, switching to a DRY (lightweight), foam pad will go a long way towards making it easier for the tool and you to maintain pad rotation/oscillation as you work around the car. For what it's worth, I'm a huge fan of the PC out of all the available free spinning, random orbital polishers because it maintains pad rotation/oscillation BETTER than long-stroke polishers. This means it will be easier and faster to buff out curved panels with much less Brain Drain. Thanks for watching and commenting. -Mike Phillips

Mike... great guide to polishing pads! You need to do a video on proper pad cleaning and maintenance!

Love learning about them
Thanks for watching and commenting Humberto! -Mike Phillips
Awesome video, lotta teaching going on here. I’m surprised that SPTA got mentioned, i use their stuff, pretty good value for money
Agree. I've only used the 1" and 2" pads, like shown in the video but they have worked perfectly.
