glad it all worked out for ya tyler,
im am still just wondering, for clarification, you dont want to use alot of water when using the pads.....just enough to create, and maintain a paste a little thinner than say toothpaste. if too much water is used with pads, you loose the abrasive, hence not rubbing things out. just curiouse
if you ARE using too much water, then you COULD get them looking like new from inches away,
but you said the most important words... that YOU are happy with it.
GOOD JOB.
