7424XP included pad uses?

[asterisk]

So, is the included pad good for anything other than taking up space? I assume it's a polishing pad with some sort of cut but there's not documentation included that I could find.


edit: err, could a mod move this to the questions forum, I posted in the wrong spot. Sorry!

Paper weight maybe

I thought maybe someone came up with something novel like using it to polish shower doors or something.

Just it on glass.

Use it to buff inside of truck lid or underside of hood. I use a spot buff pad mounted to drill.

Just received my PC DA last week and I hate to see a resource go unused. I've gotta believe that this included white pad is equivalent to one of the LC pads and has a similiar use/utility therein.

If I had a tester panel from a junk yard or something I'd be happy to try it out and see if it's usable for either compound, polish or LSP implementation/application but I don't have a panel or the time to do so, and am not fortunate enough to work for an employer that would be willing to pay me to do so during my work day.

Hmmmm, I wonder if there's anyone out there who can conduct a test like this (in the interest of product knowledge/promotion of course) while on the clock.....
Hey, wait a minute.... I think I might know someone.....


Mike!

Is there any chance you or another staff member might have the resources and time to conduct a brief test like this at some point and let us know what you find?

Thanks

The pad with the 7424XP is probably the same pad that was included with the 7424, but I don't know that for sure.
I used mine as a polishing pad for various swirl removal jobs for a long time.
Other than the inconvenience of screwing it on and off, I didn't see anything wrong with it.

I've used them before, the foam is similar to your basic foam polishing polishing pad, for example the like a Meguiar's W-8006 or a Lake Country's Polishing Pads or Griot's Garage Polishing Pads.

Meguiar's W-8006



Lake Country White Foam Polishing Pads

Less dense foam formula for the application of waxes, micro-fine polishes and sealants. This pad has very light cutting power so its perfect for pre-wax cleaners.


Griot's Garage Foam Polishing Pads




Some people like to keep them clean and dedicated them for use with a bonnet to remove dried WODWO waxes and paint sealants.

Thanks Mike.

So these would be good candidates for a MF bonnet such as the 6" Indigos?

Yes.
