Can someone explain the proper way to compound using a machine? I’m using > a wool pad. I use sure luster compound.Apply about a half handful with a brush any where on the board.At a slow rpm start working it until the compound loads into the pad.Start working it while increasing the speed…you will see it starting to shine.I use a windex sprayer with water to spray a mist on every once in a while.This rejuvinates the compound in the pad.Just play around and it will become obvious.The biggest mistake people make is to use too much compound…just take your time and let it do its thing…R.

Brucker Empty Shampoo bottles and squirt art as you polish you can control how much you use. One empty 32 oz cheap shampoo bottle best kine… They come with a flip top so you can close and wipe it off at the end of the day… Load up and go as the pads gets a little feeling reach over and grab a little compound and work out any swirls left from not cutting your paper right!!! A good thing to think about is keeping the board wet by keeping the pad wet? Work the nose and tail with a clean pad then blend the middle to the polished ends… The hard thin edge in the nose and tail heats up fast so move that pad all the time never let it sit long??? As Cleanline said sureluster is the best but any good compond works fine…Think auto body and they have it all. 3M comes in a 32oz bottle and a flip top $10 to 15 does 4 boards with left over… Later A little squirt will do ya!!! http://surfnwsc.com
