I'm just sayin, if it was that easy, I'd already be back to work on the car. The pads are so pourous that you can't just use any soap on them and definitely not directly cause it'll get caught up in there. You cant like "flash" dry them either because they'll become brittle. I just wish that one Polish I ordered wasn't on back order or I'd have a whole new spare set already and still be buffing the car. Such is life, I'll still get it done tomorrow, I'll just sweat a lot more :mrgreen:

The point of my post was to inform you to use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process as it works really well on foam pads and applicators, but you have your head stuck so far up your own ass sometimes that you cant take advice from anyone.

What do you guys do? Older chicks don't like me, girls my age don't like me, girls slightly younger than me don't like me.

Game. Either you have it, or you don't.

Art, you didn't fully read my post. I'd take the advice if it was deemed beneficial, which it's not. I've been doing this for a long time, you don't use a hair dryer to quickly dry a buffing pad for the buffer itself. Heat breaks these pads down, which is how they wear over time, by doing that I sacrifice the quality of the pad and risk making it brittle which will defeat the purpose of the pad itself.

When the **** did we get ice cream?

You both don't know ****!

I know right?

In short: I wouldn't for a moment second guess anything Toyota related that Art says, I just don't understand why he feels the need to tell me I have my head up my ass when he's telling me how to clean my buffer pads as if I haven't been doing so for the last 6 years...

Its weird how I have been a Honda geek for 5 years now, but a BMW geek for 1 and know more about BMW's than Honda's.

dont get ur panties in a bundle and get this thread locked! TST and the whole world would hate you!!!

After 1,206 pages, its going to get locked?

That's the thing, you think you know everything.

You have your head up your ass because as soon as I mention ANYTHING having to do with detailing, you jump in with how its wrong.
You mentioned that you wanted to clean your pad but didn't want to wait for it to dry. I gave you a solution.
Hell you can even set your dryer on low heat or air blast and it will do the job of drying the pad as the air gets pushed through the foam, but what do I know.

Haha yes sir... already got a text "I love to ****"... ****ing awesome!

Art, I'm not dismissing you, a good bit of the things you have suggested to me were wrong...

The pads are under a fan, it's the orange pads too and they're VERY dense and if they're too moist then it messes the polish up and it'll sling everywhere. I've had "dry" pads send polish up the side of a car cause the core was still damp.

I shoot it down cause I like to be an ass, in the same way you like to respond to some of my suggestions/stories :wink:

Looking forward to your Monday morning post of regret just like the one I posted a few days ago! :lol:

fair enough. moving on...

On that note, gonna shoot out for a bit and then get back to work on this mint example of an STi

Marcus' STi? No wait.....:-p

Oh you're just full of them tonight!

hahaha, good one.

on a detailing topic... trying to clean inside of the toyota T emblem sucks ass.
