Default New Gen2 Pad System Video is Here!

This is a quick video we recently filmed to show how to accomplish perfection with the 2nd Generation Pads and Polishes system.

This was not nearly the production that we filmed with the Ferrari, in a million dollar garage. Rather, this is a video we filmed on the side of our warehouse in late November when I drove to CA to deliver Christmas presents to the family.

I'm working on my Excursion, which hadn't been detailed in nearly a year. The paint had tremendous swirls and cobweb scratches from neglect, unfortunately!

This video is does not show before and after results, rather, it simply explains the PC system very thoroughly. It's nearly 15 minutes long, sorry!

Here goes:

I'm very tempted to get some of these new pads Adam.

Only question I have is: Can these pads be used with a rotary buffer? I use a rotary exclusively and it makes quick work of my Tahoe's black paint.

Great Video! I have a few questions thought
  1. The pads shown are not the same pads I received when I ordered the gen 2 set, yours are shaped on the contact side, mine are flat. Still gen 2 though right?
  2. No love for the super machine wax?
Thanks!

Good eye Frank !!!!!!

Mine have a smooth surface just like your's. I'm thinking Adam might have been using a prototype.

And the Super Wax would be in the next video

Excellent job, as always, Adam. I can't wait until it's spring-time here in good old Hebron, KY so I can get outside and get to work on detailing up the old Corvette. I'm still using first generation pads but am thinking I might upgrade once the weather gets better here. Hope we cross paths sometime this summer!!

Hi Frank-

Gen2 is Gen2, and correct, I used a prototype pad for the video. Zero difference in effectiveness, however, some feel the grooved surface slides easier across the finish. Truth be told, the difference is tough to notice, but the pads look cool.

As for the Machine SuperWax, it applies with the black pad, one hand, no big deal. Why didn't I cover that??
