Pad priming w/glaze

[dschribs]

Do I need to do any pad priming what so ever when I use a new/dry pad to apply glaze? (RMG, Chemical Guys EX creme). I'm using a PC.



- Should I mist the dry pad with QD? Water?

- Should I prime the dry pad with glaze like similar to the KB method?

- Should I not prime it at all and simply spread the glaze on the surface of the vehicle and start up the PC?



Thanks!

IMO you're even remotely concerned about what the pad in question might do to the paint when dry, then I'd prime it by either evenly distributing the product or using some QD that won't cause any issues (not all QDs might be OK partners with all glazes). Some pads won't cause any problems if spun dry against certain paints, but I'd sure hate to induce micromarring at that point in the detail.



I've never used any of the newfangled glazes available these days, but when I use my Meg's stuff I generally prep the pad by sorta like-KBM-priming with product.

That was my plan - not that I knew it was the right thing to do - only because it seemed the most logical.



Thanks!
