Pad behavior....what am I doing wrong?

[PaulMys]

im confused. during your correction and polishing process, you use 20 different pads?

I sure do. Once I do the sections I mentioned (for example 1 pad for half the tailgate), it gets tossed in a bucket of APC. Next pad does the other half. So on, and so on.......

Ok so, every-time you correct or polish, you have 20 freshly washed and dried pads? Do you just rinse off after they sit in APC and then air dry? I've just never heard of anyone using that many pads.

Pretty much. Depends on the pad condition as I go. But yeah, I use a lot. Just makes the whole thing easier (for me).

And yes, I'll rinse out the APC with a hose and pad brush, then throw them in my sink to final rinse and then air dry them. Mind you, I only do this 2-3 times a year (between my truck & wife's Jeep) as I'm not a professional. (Far from it).
