I know this may vary, but how many pads of each color do you use per body panel?

Just looking for a quick typical quantity - or what best to look for when needing to change them.

Thanks guys.

 

i'm not sure what you are asking here...

if you mean, how many panels can you polish with one pad? the answer is however many you can keep your pad clean enough that it'll perform like it's supposed to

how many pads per panel? well, this depends on what kind of finish you want.

 

Tough qusetion to answer.

I detailed my small SUV last weekend, and went thru something like 14 pads. Of course, they were different types and sizes, but it just depends on what you need.

 

I tend to use fresh pads every other panel. Except for the wax/sealant pad(black). I'll use two to three tops on the S. Orange and green I switch out much more often, blue not so much. These are all CCS or Uber pads. Sometimes it's a must, other times unnecessary. I have the quantity, and am already going to have clean pads anyway, so I figure why not use them?

 

one per polish for me usually - and a spur to freshen em up
