Rotary Pad question

[FMINUS]

I have switched to the rotary!!!

ITs not as hard as I thought it was, as long as you pay attention. Orngez showed me the way!!!

I was using Blue and Orange Edge pads to polish a car. The blue pad was fine but I kind of had to fight the orange pad at times.

My question is this, how do you guys combat this problem? I was thinking about using my Edge Wave pads or switching to wool.

I want to know the same thing...Thinking about going to LC for my rotary....

I still haven't found a way to control the foam pads well. I found if the pad is well lubricated it helps. It is still difficult on areas like the roof, that's why I like the wool pads the best but obviously they can't be used for everything...

switch to the wools. easier to control. only foam you would need is a finishing foam pad. but with practice you can finish down with wool and not have to use foam

I agree with this. Wool's much easier to work with.

wool gets job done faster and does not build as much heat as foam. burn paint faster with foam. especially when using rotary

I was hoping for a 6" pad....
So guys what color or colors pads do I need to go with? I'm looking for a all in one pad....

as for a all in one wool pad. i would have to say the green light cut. will correct with a polish but can be finessed with a finishing polish to get you LSP ready.

I was kidding guys, in case you didnt catch that.

Sparkie, you might want to look into this pad, Foamed Wool 6.5 inch Polishing/Buffing Pads (http://www.autogeek.net/lc-foam-wool-pads.html) Its a light cut pad. Im getting two of those and two of the 50/ 50 Wool Acrylic pads.

I was under the impresion that Edge makes 6inch wool pads, Al-53 I think got a special order from AG...mmmm...I think? I could be wrong but I thought that was waht I read.

I totally agree with what is being said about foam pads, works great and hopefully soon I'll be able to finish off with the wool pads and not need the foam pads, well if anything all I need now is a finishing pad Menzerna orange pad works great for that or the Meg's finishing pad
