Speedy Surface Prep Dx Pad - Fine grade

**jrjones60** · 06-02-2013, 11:02 PM

Mike....I have a Speedy Surface Prep Dx Pad on the way. It's the one that can be used with a PC polisher. Do you have any tips or suggestions as far as it's use, compared to the Speedy Surface Prep Towel? I realize that I'll probably have to use more lube but I don't know what speed to set the PC on. Thanks in advance for your help.

Has anyone here used this product and if so, what are your comments about it???

I've never used it but from what I've read I can tell you to use little to absolutely no pressure and keep it on a speed 1 or 2 at the most. And like you said lots of clay lube. Sorry can't be of more help!

I use the nano skin auto scrub pad. Same concept. I use speed two, for clay lube i use ONR. Works great!! On most cars I get away with no pressure, worked on a construction truck that required quite a bit, but polished after. Good luck!!

Break it in on all glass before you touch paint, clean often, and use lots of lube.

Clean often with what, and how? I think I understand what needs to be done, but just to be on the safe side I thought I'd ask.

Wash it clean. Similar to a clay bar you'd re knead it once it got contaminated, with these type products you have to clean them off.

^ This. I dip my towels in a bucket but you can flush the pads with a spray bottle. Just wrap a mf towel around the housing, exposing just the pad, then spray the pad at an angle. This beats constantly pulling it off the backing plate.

I flush with a spray bottle aswell, beats washing it in a bucket as the foam in the pad gets full of water, resulting in a bath once you turn the machine on.
