Title: Light hit with siaair pad
Post by: JohnN on February 13, 2019, 03:52:18 PM: Many times you hear people say they â€œhitâ€ their ball with an abrasive pad to increase reaction . If starting with a polished ball and a spinner how would you do it ?

I'll just take a 3000 pad most of the time and use it until I don't see shine

Still generally when I want to knock polish off on a spinner I will go ahead and do 20 sec a side (or full 30 if want a more full resurface) with maroon scotch brite and then go 30+ sec a side with Royal compound. Saves on pads but granted not as precise so doing say maroon, light grey and then 3k pad.
