Mike,
The other day I pulled out my G110 and put on a used (but clean) yellow polishing SoftBuff 2.0 pad. I shook up the product and put it on the pad in a "cross" formation. As soon as I put the pad on the paint and fired up the DA, tiny yellow pad particles shot all over the front of my just-washed car. I added more product and tried again and the same thing happened.
Finally, I was short on time and needed to get this done without making a bigger mess so I sprayed the pad with Last Touch and then continued and it minimized the amount of pad particles. It should be noted that I've owned the pad for a while and only used it a few times. However, one of the times I used it was during an intense paint cleaning session that lasted around 6 hours and the pad is somewhat "bumpy" from the heat and cleaning.
Have you ever experienced this? Thanks.
