It satys in the pad perfectly. After claying though, its good practice to remove the clayt and clean the vinyl the clay sits on with windex. I unfortunatrly didnt and after a couple of uses the vinyl the clay sits on gets all full of clay . Big mess. Whats nice about it is that using a pad, it provides constant pressure on the clay patty instead of using finger pressure which is not uniform. I did my wifes Envoy twice with it to test it out, my van, my bosses truck, my inlaws truck pretty much every vehicle I do i use it to start with a slick smooth surface. Whats nice is you can do glass also to remove bugs, dirt, debris on it.
