    care of pads

    What is the best way to clean and dry foam pads? I usually use snappy clean, but I can never get all of the water out of the pad. Also, one of my white pads has a few mold spots on it-my best bet would be to just discard it, correct?

    trust and a rotary

    Hey everybody. This past weekend my truck was broke into and when I take it to the body shop I was curious if I could trust a body shop with a rotary. My 01 GMC pewter has some swirling that my PC could not take out and I am not brave enough to use a rotary. Happy Holidays.

    removing swirls with PC

    I used PB ssr2.5 w/ orange cutting pad and PC on my 2001 GMC (pewter) to remove the light swirls. I have made 1 pass and noticed no difference at all. Should I run another pass or is there a different swirl remover that will work better? thanks
