Grundy Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 All I know is, you shouldn't use the 'sponge' word - http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/2663-a-simple-guide-to-car-detailing/ have a read there. 1 Quote
LRF4N Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I think he means the pads for a machine not the dreaded sponges Quote
delz0r Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 It's a good idea to lightly spray them with some quick detailer before you get to work. It helps prevent the polish drying out. Some water should also be fine(once it's clean etc). Quote
Ekona Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 No, no need to wet them. Just do a '+' across the pad with whatever product you're using, splodge that across the panel, then start it off on the slowest speed and cover the entire panel with it. Then you can start working it properly. Quote
ilogikal1 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Pads. And yes, prime them first either with a mist of QD or water, or thinly spread the polish over the face of the pad with your finger before touching the panel depending which technique you prefer. Quote
Ekona Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Heh, two different trains of thought there then! Neither are wrong I think, personal preference or choice of pad/polish can make a difference. Quote
ilogikal1 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Yep, that's just about covered all the options from a yes or no question. Quote
Grundy Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Well that's every angle covered in a short few posts Quote
Arran Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Yes always prime the pad with a spritz of qd Quote
donnynelson Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 cheers much appreciated will spray lightly just to make sure Quote
