Re: Issues with Buff & Shine Low-Pro's LHR21 MarkII
VT675, You can email my office anytime at edunn@buffandshine.com The pads were designed to take the beating of the long throw type machines. They should be primed before use.

Re: Issues with Buff & Shine Low-Pro's LHR21 MarkII
Just to highlight a theme I see in the posts here - people keep commenting that the pads are stiff. I'm sure B&S has honed in on the fact that our pads are stiff and this is by design. Softer foam structures will neuter some of the movement, even in lower profile designs. Additionally a foam that distorts excessively during the polishing operation builds up lots of heat (the individual foam cells rub against eachother) and can cause all manner of problems.
A large orbit machine, especially in the cutting phases, works best with a more rigid foam and while it does take some compensation/adjustment to technique its worth the performance gains IMHO

This was the design on the pads for doing fster correction. Thanks Dylan

I've used the low pros with my G21 and HD speed, no issues with glazing over
I only do about 3 to 4 peasized drops
I don't prime my pads btw

Re: Issues with Buff & Shine Low-Pro's LHR21 MarkII
They're stiff to the point that the outer rim of the pad doesn't seem to be touching the surface of the paint(almost like they don't want to contour the panel) and if I dare go near a slight curve the Rupes freaks out. Sort of like when you're first introduced to the Flex VRG. I bought 3x Green, Orange, Maroon and Red -- so far very disappointed. I've paint corrected close to 150 cars so this isn't my first rodeo. Process is as follows, completely flat panel, prime the pad with 3-4 small dots, gently press the polisher on the panel, start the polisher, as the polisher is starting spread the product for your section, stabilize the polisher and start making section passes. The entire process is not smooth and effortless at all.
