Nathan Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) I'm curious how you guys prime pads, do you prime like Adam in all the videos with 3 blobs and is there a benefit to this? Or do you go in a circle like everyone else? Edited March 8, 2017 by Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ls1transam Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I prime the whole face of my pads with compound or polish, whatever I'm using at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 galaxy Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Same. Initially spread a super thin layer of the product across the whole face. Massage it into the pad so it doesn't build up and sling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 falcaineer Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I follow Adam's example (I'm new to this, so following I figure following a master's example is good enough for me!) and use a few globs, as well as a couple sprays of DS for some lubrication. I then place the pad on the car, spread it around so it doesn't sling, and go to work. Adding too much product to the pad can clog it up, causing loss of cutting/polishing power. I keep either a pad brush or extra pads on hand. Junior 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kingsford Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I use a tongue depressor and spread whatever polish I'm using over the whole face of the dry pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 falcaineer Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I use a tongue depressor and spread whatever polish I'm using over the whole face of the dry pad. But how do the pads open up and say "AAHHHHHHH"? SumBeach35 and Mariner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mc2hill Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I use a tongue depressor and spread whatever polish I'm using over the whole face of the dry pad. Same style here, but with craft (popsicle) sticks: Junior 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
