This will cause excess vibration. It's also a sign to switch to a clean dry pad.


    In my life, and I'm not saying this is related to you and your buffing style, one of the most common mistakes that causes problems for anyone buffing out a car is

    Too few pads for the job


    It's real common and a huge problem no matter what tool you use.



    Excellent information, I didn't Know pads shifted location as they get more wet causing these difficulties, thx for the reply Mike.

    I switched backing plate to a smaller one and now using the Lake Country 5.5" Force Hybrid Pads, like a new machine with the smaller pads.
