I assume I can mix up smaller batches since I will only have the one pad to clean. And I will be using it every month!!

Try a 'safe' solvent to remove rubber marks - Wurth Clean Solve is fast acting and will not leave film residue, safe to use on all painted surfaces. Quickly removes track marbles (pill-shaped pieces of rubber shaved off the racing cars' tyres) paint overspray, adhesives, tar, grease, oils, silicone and waxes. Can be used safely on acrylic finishes, aluminium, plastics, vinyl, fabrics, glass, and fibreglass

I'm not clear ... is the little packs a total of 6oz for $10 and BOGO so a total of 12 oz for $20. Obviously, this is not as good as the tub which is 16oz for the same $20.
Also was going to get another bottle of Rejex
BTW: I used the PC with Rejex on front facia, rocker panels covered with 3m Clear Bra and painted surfaces of hood and roof which is where all the back turd marks occur ..... went good (I used speed setting 4). Worked great and no damage of any kind that I could see. Then I just wiped down with MF towel. Much faster and easier on my hand and arm which is what I wanted. I will probably do the whole car with the PC now since I have it ..... any reason not too???? And is there a MF bonnet that I can use over the PC pad to buff or do I need to buy a new backing plate, pad and bonnet?????

Just remember Rejex is considered a pure sealant it doesnt have any real cleaners or polishes in it. Its really a better move to start thinking of a paint cleansing lotion or polishes as next move and then just seal with Rejex. You will see a difference afterwards and start to specialize in each step for better results.
The buffer can indeed help to apply (foam pad no abrasive) Rejex and can help remove also. You will use a clean foam pad and cover it with a MF bonnet. I suggest 4-6 per car for best results.

The tub will be back in soon enough and indeed the best value. Plus you dont have an open baggie that could spill.

Well I finally ordered !!!!!!!
I couldn't wait for the DP pad cleaner. So I ordered the Snappy Clean. I hope it is as good a product .... it is made my the Lake co. which seems to be highly regarded.
Since shipping was $10 (as much as the cleaner) I ordered another bottle of Rejex.
Too complaints:
1. Last night I was going to order but was too lazy to go out to car and get my credit card. The cleaner was a BOGO free item. But today that offer was gone when I went to check out.
2. And I see a 6 hour free shipping for over $75 but thats only good till 4:30 PM EASTERN time !!!!! And I am sitting on my computer at 4:30 but I am in CALIFORNIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still ordered because I want to patronize a forum sponsor and appreciate all the help the AutoGeek guys provide .........

send me the order number and I will work on the shipping ... there is indeed a time issue since we are on the east coast. We appreciate you considering us, and yes the Snappy cleaner for pads is another great choice.
