now I know Ill need a bunch of pads. where should i get them? i only plan on using DACP and SFP. Lake County pads I heard were good? I plan on doing other peoples cars too (3 a week probably) so whats a good amount to get?





how do you clean these pads?



another quick question, how would you clean foam applicator pads? for something like clearkotes CM? water?



mine are crusty now and kind of black from touching rubber trim.



thanks!

 

[NEW AGAIN]

Tape up molding and trims.



I use Meg green tape. But blue painters works also



3 of each either Lake / Meg



I use murphys oil soap I think I got the idea from here 1cap to 2gal of warm water soak for 30 minutes [DON'T MIX PADS] rinse, spin dry with pc and lay flat to dry

which pads are good to have? colors etc?



i thought you only tape things up with a rotary?



thanks for reply

 

[NEW AGAIN]

I use only Meguiars I have



6 W7006

8 W8006[2 for bonnets]

10 W9006



NO any time you compound, polish or wax you tape up VERY GOOD PRACTICE



Go to www.showcargararge.com for more knowledge on pads by MEGUIARS
