Can I use the same pad for compound and polish?
If you wash a pad, you will either have to use the same compound, or something heavier. Never go to a lighter compound with a pad you used for heavy cutting, no matter how well you wash it, the heavy cut will still make it to the surface. You can not use polishing pads for heavy cutting, they just arent effective.
