Hello,
I apply my products typically via a small foam applicator pad -various types of foams similar to what you would use on a buffer pad (closed cell foam, I guess). I also have a PC 7424 or whatever the common random orbital is.
My problem is, it seems to to be certain that I am putting down a proper coating of product, it seems that the applicator pad needs to be more or less "saturated" with the product.
Im not saying that I try to apply heavy coats - I always try to apply sparingly. However, until I get the pad saturated with product, I don't cover a lot of surface before it doesn't slide and I'm not convinced that I am covering the surface.
Zaino amongst others talks about using a TINY amount for the entire vehicle. 1oz. for a whole vehicle is often suggested. I don't think a regular applicator pad of any sort can actually be saturated in 1oz, let alone the whole vehicle surface.
What is the best practice to minimize use and maximize application? Saturate the pads with water and then wring out? Use some other sort of agent? Store them in bags and never wash them out?
Thanks!
