How do you know whens pads are worn out?

He states that he fully cleans the pad then spins it dry and then continues to use it. Not just clean on the fly.

I personally like to use 4-6 cutting pads and wash them all at the end. Usually can get away with 1 or 2 polishing pads after a cut step or 4-6 for a single step correction.

I think I had that video on while I was organizing my stuff back into the cabinets or something.. I totally missed out on those details. The main thing I do remember is how he sprays his pads with his Infinite Juice Cleaner and then sprays them clean with the hose.. Very similar to my method of cleaning pads except I use the DP/McKee's Pad Cleaner.. I find myself agreeing with just about everything he says. He seems like a really cool dude in my book.

I've found that when they launch themselves from the machine and end up somewhere unexpected, it's time to let them go.

Yea he has some very real world practical info. I agree on most of his stuff. He's not out there spending all his effort to sell things. He's being realistic and showing you it can be done without a lot of extras. I can't stand all these pad washers. None of them work anywhere near as well as doing it by hand. That's my biggest purchase regret. A pad washer.

My pads seem to last for a complete polish of the car. I clean after each section and make sure they are properly lubed. The one exception is on plastic bumpers. The heat on the center is enough to make the glue release from the backing plate in short order. I switch to fresh pad to do plastic and reduce force and speed accordingly.

^Ahh...metal spikes imbedded in the pad!!!

"When the pad is worn out, the foam breaks down, then the metal spines penetrate the cloth, and leave a visual indication on your vehicle, so you know when it's time to replace the pad!"

Oh, and ahh....outside links!!!

Be free, little pad! Go forth and take on the world!
