ChargerMatt Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 If you aren't going to add a layer of MSS you can use the grey pad for the BG instead. It's easy on and easy off, so I would suggest doing it by hand if you have the option to use MSS. A better bet would be to use the grey pad for MSS then the yellow applicator + BG followed by Americana on the red/blue applicator the next day.

For machine, the gray pad is fine. By hand either the Buttery pad (yellow) or Americana (red). I prefer the yellow hex applicator with the black, firm hand grip, but others like the 'all soft' Americana one. You can also use a MF applicator!

GlossAngeles Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Or you can buy the new pad designed for applying glaze by machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymrat7953 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I just got finished using the new red pad... easier on my shoulders. Easy on and easy off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug123 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Red and blue pad is what you see Dylan using in the Adam's videos. Just put it on thin, and get ready with your drool bib when you wipe it off. Here's the link Glazing and Carnauba Car Wax Detailing Video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfong9 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I'm assuming the new Red pad would be what you would want to apply the Buttery with if you wanted to use a machine as well? Is there much difference in the cut of the Black and Red pads, bc I thought I had read a while back to use the Black pad for Buttery...obviously before the Red was introduced.

Dylan used the grey pad on his truck... Didn't have time for claying so just threw down a coat of BG w/ the Flex on a Gen4 red pad, followed up with Buttery on a Gen4 gray pad. Figured I wouldn't waste Americana since I'm going to strip and really detail it this coming week. But I would think either would work. Neither pad has any 'cut' which is the thing you don't want.

Team Adam's Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Correct... you could use either pad without issue... we offer both for a few reasons. The red doesn't hold onto the thin glaze as well as the gray does, so you don't lose as much product into the pad. Not a huge issue, but I found thru testing and using the gray pad to glaze for some time now that the product soaks in, but doesn't come back out as easily so theres some excess lost. The red doesn't hold back much, so with just a little mash of pressure it squeezes back to the surface much better. Secondly, having 2 colors gives you a visiual distinction so you don't have to guess (or smell) each pad to see what products have been used with it. The red pad will clearly be your glazing pad, your gray pad will clearly be your waxing or sealing pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarAuto Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I LOVE the 'smell' technique!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2quikta Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I used the red/blue applicator. I like it by hand with the applicator because I can get into all the nooks and crannies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
