:buffing:Is it possible to run one pad to do swirl removal on a whole small or mid size (sedan) car??? I'm just curious.

Tell your friends to buy their own!! lol.

You can do a car with 1 pad. But your going to be doing a lot of cleaning, which will take a toll on that 1 pad. Could lead to pad failure early. Especially with all the heat that will build up with it.

I'd get your pads back from your buddy!

Simple answer: Yes - I do it all the time using Mike P's "on-the-fly" cleaning technique. I haven't noticed any significant wear on the pad from doing this.

I would say yes, especially if you've got a pad washer.

Sure there is. Back in the 80's I use to do multiple cars with a single pad
