Porter-Cable 18007 6-Inch Lambs Wool Hook and Loop Polishing Pad Reviews
Works well. Not sure how it compares to other brands of pads, but so far so good. I got a great shine after the polish was removed. I used this pad with my friend's PC.
The other secret to a vibrant shine is don't use the whole bottle for 1 application. If still damp, lay on flat surface (no sun) until dry (overnight works perfectly). Using a non bleach non softening laundry product, with the washing machine on warm/warm, wash the pad.
it takes that long for the polish to adhere and dry. It is a 2 step process (1 to clean, the other to maximize). Have no worries about using the 18007 for all your car polishing needs. Using a terry cloth pad or applicator, use a dab (the size of a pea) to clean, remove excess with Autopia CTB polish cloth, and then put another pea size application over the freshly cleaned surface. After washing, throw the pad in the drier on "no-heat" and tumble for an hour. It does have to be washed every 2 full car applications. Wait 10 FULL minutes.
Have used the PC 7636 for 11 years with the 18807 pad and nothing surpasses the results IF (EMPHASIZE "IF")you make certain the surface is clean and less than 90 degrees ambient shaded temperature. I use Glare polish. There is nothing that out works the PC pad. This pad is a quality product and can be used on either a clear coat or lacquer coat surfaces (as long as you use the PC orbital buffer). Then with the PC set on the lowest setting (1), and using overlapping, 360 degress, with no pressure other than the weight of the PC, remove the polish.
Works good with the "Nuvite" products and with the Porter Cable random orbit sander, gets into tight places Use to polish my aluminum airplane.
The problem is that with woodwork, most of the time, you are working on smaller, intricate surfaces, as compared to the big flat panels on a car. If you are planning on building a solid layer of finish, and polishing it to a deep gloss that is glasslike by using compounds, you will need a regular polisher. The speed range is 0-2800 with a pre set dial for fixing a setting, so I can slow it down for the delicate areas, and still maintain the option of cranking it up for the larger flat surfaces. That is where these Porter Cable hook and loop pads come in.
Now I am doing woodwork and need to get the same kind of results. The texture is very fine and smooth. Unfortunately 2400 RPMs is where mile deep gloss arrives. So what to do. Very thick and dense as well.
The nice thing about these Porter Cable polishing pads, is that they work with either type of machine, as long as they have a hook and loop backing pad. It is difficult to tell just how much nap their is on a pad when ordering from a picture online. Hope this helps. I also purchased the hook and loop backing pad. Did a lot of high end cars, and spent a lot of time behind a polisher.
I just ordered the Milwaukee variable speed 11 amp polisher. The nap is only about 1/2" deep. It is good for getting a lot of control when working up close to an ajoining surface. All in all these Porter Cable pads, with their tight yet silky smooth nap, fill a niche for polishing that is very helpful.
That makes it very manageable for tight spaces. That is where this Porter Cable wool pad comes in. I had a body shop for 20 years. Consquently a 2400 RMP polisher is not what the doctor ordered.
By the time you wrap it around a backing pad, it makes for a larger edge than you would normally need for the intracacies of wood projects. Using this pad on a random orbit sander is ok for a gentle rubbing effect. My old favorite is a super plush 7 inch tie on lambswool bonnet.
Porter-Cable makes bad accesories for their polisher, i washed the pad the the adhesive turned hard, theis makes polishing grinding. how can you wash the old wax off. "The fine lambs wool polishes without harming the surface finish." what a load.
