My main questions come from exactly what pad to use for a Polish and for Waxing/Sealants. Also, has anyone used the Mothers 3 step program ive read about? Basically just a prewax cleaner, glaze and wax..
Also, when you are going to buff off the residue from polishes/waxes, do you have to do this by hand (Microfiber Towel) or can you put on a microfiber bonnet on the polisher to do this? Thanks for any info...
There is no specific pad/polish combination because many pads can be used with many different polishes. For example, M105 can be used with a wool pad for heavy correcting or a light compounding pad for work that doesn't need wool. As far as applying liquid waxes or sealants, some people will use a finishing pad, but it's best to remove it by hand with a plush MF towel, not a machine.
