Priming a new/dry foam pad.

[premier.mobile1]

The instructions the W8006 and W9006 packaging say that the pas should beprimed with M34. Is there something else that will work as well, i.e. QD or UQD? Anyone use somthing other than those that they have found works well?

Thanx in advance!

I just use some QD and I haven't had any issues.

I would guess that the instructions say to use M34 because it’s sort of universal. It can always be used.

M34 is paint shop safe. The other QD’s aren’t. Since a great many (probably most) users of buffing pads are in body shops it’s safer to just say M34 than try to explain when you can/can’t use the others.

Paint shop safe? Does that mean safe on fresh paint?

It means it’s safe under fresh paint.

In a shop environment you don’t want to be using anything that might interfere with the adhesion of paint. It’s far too easy for minute traces of chemicals to find there way onto surfaces that going to be sprayed.

Lots of detailing products that work great on existing finishes contain ingredients that will cause severe problems with any paint that’s laid down over them.

Learn somthing new every day! Not that I would ever need to know that, but it's always good to have that extra bit of info just in case.

Thanx!
