Managing/controlling compound residue when using compressed air

[dlc95]

MWOYWOD, I'll report back.

I'll send links to pics on my FB page and/or YouTube as I plan on recording a video on Saturday.

I started to realize this was sounding familiar...it came up in this thread: 2014 BMW X5, 2-step Correction and CQuartz Finest Coating Application

I wonder if Rasky ever did anything in this direction.

I haven't yet but still plan to make one like I explained in that thread. Right now it's just low on the priority list. :/

It always helps to know the whole
story: A person can only give advice
based on the information that is
originally presented.


I appreciate the kind words; but:
For you to say that I tried to discredit
and disparage a fellow AGO forum
member is, what I consider to be:
an oblique opinion.

Here's why:
Just like you didn't post all the
necessary facts in the OP of
this thread...you don't know
the whole story.

Good Luck with a solution
for your detailing-residues'
management.

Well you bring up some very good points.lol I think it's safe to assume that whether or not this thread leads us to the discovery of a new and innovative way of managing residue, at least we can all come away with a better understanding of why we shouldn't give presumptuous advise without having all the pertinent backstory as well as how opinions can not have validation without context because context gives meaning. Boom! Nailed it. And all this time I thought I didn't learn anything in Intro to Psychology 110.

As for Mr. dlc95, I am REALLY looking forward to that video!! Thank you!

Maybe a type of repositionable spray glue?

I'm also looking for a better way. I usually blow out pads while leaning into the narrow area between my garage and shed, with my trash barrel as a third wall. Not a feasible long term practice.

There's gotta be something that will work... Man I sure wish I would've saved that vid for future reference. Maybe diluted corn syrup? I dunno.

You really don't have a clue.

Take it easy...

I use my DP Cleaning Gun to remove contaminants from my pad on the fly.
Works very well being it spins using air, really cleans it up, I do it every other panel I work.

Just make sure to use only the air and no solution not to soak the pad.

Thanks for sharing OP!

I'm assuming the DP cleaning gun is the tornador with a DP (now Mckee's 37) label on the front? Or is this some different tool I am not familiar with? I have never tried using my tornador to blow out compound residue from my pads because I assumed it would blow more residue down into the pad rather than removing it from the pad, but I will certainly give it a shot.

I'm attaching a picture of the air gun I use. I've tried 7 or 8 different guns and none of them give me the control or as tight of stream. I've tried the fancy $30 blow out guns but in my experience none of them are focused enough to effectively blow the residue off of the pad.
