    Sonus 4" pad problems

    I used my 4" yellow pad on a detail today to do the whole car and now the middle of my pad is quite soft while the outside rim still feels fine. Used SFX 3 polish at mostly speed 6.. Is this a defective pad or can the 4" not take speed 6 on my PC very well? Thanks

    Proper Pad Washing

    I've used my pads on about 5 cars now and I've been washing them with warm tap water and Dawn soap. It seems to be working great and the Dawn gets the polish and wax out in a hurry. I just use a light to moderate rubbing with my fingers and it comes out. But I was wondering if the soap would...
