Hi GSRstilez,

Do you ever have any problems with the SFP getting gummy or sticky on the finish? Which pads do you like to use with it?

Have you ever tried the #16 Professional Paste Wax?

Hi Mike,

I use Lake Country White Polishing Pads. If I don't clean the pads each use, they get very gummy and SFP/DACP is terrible to work with. However, if I wash them in the sink with warm water and Dawn soap, using my hands to agitate the pads and clean them out, I have great results. I wash til the water coming out of the pads when squeezed is clear. I then dry by attaching to the rotary and cranking it up to full speed for 30-60 secs. Following that, I spray the pad with 5 sprays of Meguiar's Quik Detailer, then apply a thin bead of polish on the panel. I took everything you have said on your posts about using polish with a rotary and I have to say...THANK YOU! It really does work!

As far as #16, I have not tried it, but it seems to be getting nice reviews. I could see using it in the future .

Good work on the EK. I will have to remeber when de-badging to use a plastic spatulla.
