How does the White PC pad compares to Adams?

[tlsole]

Anyone know how aggressive the original white pad that comes with the PC compared to Adams? It seems to be in between a white and orange Adams pad (how firm wise). I plan on using it for headlights and wondering if it will be a good pad to use on it. I don't really want to use my Adams pads on headlights because i don't them to get dirty and besides, i don't have the mini 4" pads yet..

 

Also, just wondering.. is it bad to mix products on a single pad? For example, Swirl and Haze/Super Wax or even Polish on the same pad?

 

Thanks guys!

The foam is between our white, and the orange density, and besides the fact that it requires a wrench to remove, clean, etc, it's not terrible. Just because it's such a pain to use, I also throw them away.

 

Your headlights will require 4" pads to clarify, and a rotary (drill) to correct completely.

 

My $0.02: Toss the pad that comes with the PC, as the effort required to use is significantly outweighs the results achieved by using it.

I agree !!! Great item to have .

Spray liberally with APC, work it in with your thumbs breaking loose the polish/wax. Rinse with a good stream of warm water, repeat if necessary.

Im debating what if i should purchase the 4" pads also.. What else do you use them on besides headlights?

 

You use the on lots of things .Tight areas such as pillars and the like .Spot repairs

I used the drill and the 4 inch pads on my Subie and they worked great. They aren't horrible but they get a but if haze on the top of them.

The drill is like a rotary ,it cuts faster!

Whats the reason why we cant use the PC for headlights? I noticed junkman also used a drill..

[rwisejr]

That maybe the only use for it . I always throw them away

[Chris@Adams]

That might be a good use for that white pad!

The headlights aren't that bad. A little hazy but no yellowing... I used the white pad on my moms truck headlights today. It did the job, but the pad doesn't seemed like it "cuts" well..feels slippery if you know what i mean..

Junkman says "Throw it Away." So you know what I did? That's right, I threw it away.

I have never used the white pad that comes with the pc.

I was just planning to use SHR and FMP on the original white PC pad for headlight restoration/maintenance.

 

Depending how bad your headlights are you may need to use the orange pad. How about posting some pics?

i threw my white pad away straight outta the box, but im sure for headlights it will be alright. your pads shouldnt get dirty just from doing headlights tho.

 

What pad are you planning on mixing products on? I would mix Swirl and Haze and Fine Machine polish on the same pads but Machine Superwax should be used on the black pad only pretty much, no reason to use Swirl and Haze or Fine Machine polish on the black pad
