Default Quicking PC Question

ok so i had my first shot at using the PC. when the time came to put the swirl remover on i put it on the pad and tried to spread it evenly onto the paint but it seemed that the pad was so dry it absorbed most of it.. should i be getting the pad wet or damp before use? i dont have any kind of conditioner or anything but is that a must? thanks

Do you have some quick detailer spray? If so, use that.

you can spray on some light mist of water... or i use a pad conditioner the first time i use the pads.

from autogeek:

"12 oz. Pinnacle XMT Polishing Foam Pad Conditioner
Prevention of dry buffing is as easy as misting an unused pad with Pinnacle XMT Polishing Pad Conditioner. It only takes a couple of spritzes to prep the pad for polishing. The rich lubricants instantly penetrate the pad, softening and conditioning the material. Even if the pad has never been used, it will glide across the paint like you
