How do you keep the LC foamed purple pads from junking up?

I find after a panel maybe two that the pad is useless as its too caked with product. What can you get out of yours?

Try putting your polish/compound on the panel (a small line) instead of on the pad, that helps. I also use a spur: Polisher Pad Spur

Yup, the spur is the key. I spur it after every polish application.

I know you turn your polisher on low then let the spurs go to work, but can anyone be more specific? I have the same tool and it never seems to work for me, so I just hold a mf over the pad and turn it on and that takes care of the build up

That's a good way, too.



To use the spur, you just place the wheels on the pad, then spin the pad. My spur says not to exceed 1k rpm, but i normally have to go up to 1.5k to get good results.
