i just picked up some 4in pads in order to polish the pillars and any tight spaces. i was wondering if the motion is different when using these. lets use optimum compound and polish as an example. do i still use a speed of 5or6? do i use a faster movement?

 

I would operate at 3-4. 5-6 with a 5.5/6.5" is A LOT different then with a 4".

 

^^^ Yeep .. what he said .. I cut it back to 3 on the UDM and 4 on the PC when using the smaller pads.

 

thanks guys. i have another question, what kinda of vacuum do you guys use. i was looking to buy a vacnblow, but i think a shop vac could do the same thing for cheaper.

 

how fast do i move, same as using a 6in pad?

 

Rigid FTW..........

 

which one do you use, does it have a blower also. do you think 2hp is enough or should i aim for 4 like the vacnblo

 

i use the blue on you get a lowes....they cary all the extra attachments, hose and filters you will need down the road as replacements....

 

I use a shop vac when I am home.I use a Metro Vac n Blo when I am not at home.

 

I used a shop vac for a long time ... never used the blower function because of the dirt thats in the hose blowing out.

I now use the central vac frome the house .. I have a 45 foot hose on it and an outlet at the shop door.
