How much product do I use with my DA Polisher? -

[CEE DOG]

This is great Mike! I'm sure it'll be helpfull to a lot of people.

I have 1 question about the surbuff pads, do I clean them like how I clean my foam pads? With the DP pad rejuvenator and a brush?

[feslope]

Thank you Mike. Excellent compilation of useful info. No need to guess anymore.

[rohnramirez]

Thanks for sharing Mike, that is really helpful.

If i may suggest, kindly add a picture of the back as well showing how much the H&L velcro covers. Like for example, the 6" HTs have only 5.5" velcro and the 6" GG Pads cover the entire back of the pad.

This is great info for me Mike, thanks a lot!

Isn't the contact area of a 5.5-in flat pad still greater than 5-in due to pad compression?

[hellzdragon]

What about the CCS 6.5 inch pads? I only ask because these pads come with a lot of the kits sold by AGO.

For overall use with DUragloss 501/105, Ultimate Wax liquid and at most mild swirl removal and overall wax application, CCS or Flat Lake Country 5.5?
