I was watching a how to use your flex 3401 vid by Mike Philips and he said to prime each new pad by smearing product your using over the whole pad face and then the few drops and that's what your going to use.

Is this done only with brand new pads for its first use or before you begin using each clean pad. It just seems like a lot of product especially since you should have 8 pads to correct a full size car.
Just want to be sure on this....
Thanks guys
