Set up the Nano with the 12mm Orbital tool and 2" Blue Pad. Applied 3 small smudges of blue compound on unprimed pad. Speed setting 4 to test. I did 5 section passes on the barrels of the wheel. The pad was very dirty so I cleaned with microfiber. Did the wheel in 4 sections. The pad was beat up pretty bad. The edges are frayed and the surface looks like it was chewed up by a metal brush. The surface was sanded with 1500 grit paper so was really testing the Nano's ability not the pad. Is this normal for open cell pads? Is it a function of the 2" size? Be nice to know. By the way the polisher is a dream to work with on this application.
