Compound coverage on pad

[Eldorado2k]

Looks like a ELZETTA flashlight there?

There’s no name brand on it, just the typical “CREE Led” flashlight with an absurd amount of lumens that are sold on Ebay. I forgot how many lumens they claim it is, but it’s crazy bright and when at full zoom can illuminate an object a couple of blocks away. Lol.

I’ve had it for a few years and have come to the conclusion that the only real thing that sets these flashlights apart are the rechargeable batteries you put in them.

I always start off by applying a circles worth of polish/compound around the pad and never bother to “stamp” the panel prior to starting. I feel that just diminishes the amount of product I need in order to get started and defeats the purpose of me just having applied enough product to prevent dry buffing.

That’s just my 2 cents though and I’ve got a pet peeve against stamping the panel. I’ve also got a pet peeve against burritos that are cut in half with a knife… If you ever want to ruin a perfectly good burrito, cut it in half! Lol.

If it ain’t a circle it just doesn’t feel right.





Microfiber pads are the lone exception. I do prime those.

I agree with this.
