Although I'd love to devote an entire weekend to detailing my car, the reality is that after washes I'm going to have to do it in sections at night. Life in the rat race . . .
Claying the car in sections is no problem at all, but that is done. So I'm going to wash her again and then begin the polishing process - starting with Menzerna IP.
My question is this - let's say I polish the hood one evening and I'm not going to be able to get back out there for another day or two to do the roof, trunk, doors, etc. Should I rinse the pad each evening? Should I do more than rinse and actually wash it? Or can I just put the pad in a ziplock and when I'm ready to go again just spritz it with some water? Should I put a wet paper towel in the zip lock to make sure it doesn't dry out? Does that matter if I'm going to be using the same product on the same car?
What do the 'pros' do with their pads when they don't finish and have to come back the next day?
NOTE: The car is covered and garaged throughout and will NOT be driven until the detail is complete.
Thanks in advance!
