    UPS Man brought new goods!

    I detailed for about 10 years and then I stopped doing detailing and got into welding aluminum on the side doing repairs on docks boat lifts pontoons and prop repair but now I have decided to get back into detailing and I also want to do more exterior! I bought a lot of new products including the mighty Lite II 8070 and a new Flex 3401 DA with all hybrid pads! I am I happy person and looking forward the using these new products!! allThis is a great forum and I thank you all! any tips starting out again and tips on using the mighty 8070 would be appreciated!

    Congrats on picking up the 3401 and hybrid pads! These two are made for each other.

    If by chance you are going to use Menzerna, here is an article I put together extracting the maximum performance from this setup.

    Re: UPS Man brought new goods!

    Thank you Mike! I want to get more pads and I should have ordered more then what I did... correct me if I'm wrong but should I at least have 3 or 4 pads of each color? And can you or someone explain to me how to clean pads when you're completely done? I understand the method of cleaning the pad on the fly with the brush or towel but not sure exactly how you guys clean these when you are done with the job!? Thanks

    You should have at a bare minimum 3 pads in each color.

    I run mine through a pad washer after every completed panel. I then spin it dry on a rotary and lay it face down on a mf towel and allow to dry for a bit. I grab a fresh pad and complete another panel and repeat the process. This way I only need three of any given color. One in use and the others air drying.

    When I am finished altogether, I simply spray the face of the pads with a pad cleaner such as the Wolfgang Version, let soak, and then rinse out. I spin them dry again and let air dry overnight before putting them away.
