Looking good, did you get feedback from owner?

And is the video also coming?

It was good experience to work on this boat.

Being and old rookie... pontoon to mirror. Stage 3 or 4 . Sand up to 5000 ...now onto the buffing steps...Ok I have been testing all the products in your book and the only question I have Mike is this: After each buffing step the buffing pads are loaded with black sludge. Is there anyway to diminish or prevent this. I clean the 50 50 wool pad with the rotating spur and it cleans just enough to continue. Now with the new Cyclo and the last step to a mirror its really black. I clean with the nylon brush as well as grabbing the pad with a microfiber towel and try to clean it a tad more. But the foam pads are still pretty black. I am in the process of quoting a job and need to include material costs which I never need to do for car detailing. Any suggestions are appreciated and welcomed.
Thanks

When it comes to the pads - the only fix I know of is to switch to clean dry pads, this means having plenty to draw from.

Sorry... I just don't know of a way to clean an "aluminum dirty pad" back to clean on-the-fly so it will now buff good and buff easy.

Switching to a clean, dry pad is the best solution and then at the end of the day wash your pads in a washing machine and be prepared to use extra detergent and then run something through the washing machine that's not important, like old terry cloth towels.
