As long as you don't clog the pores of the pad by using too much compound, then the pad will continue cutting. Once the pores are clogged, then of course it will not. So if you are paying attention to what you are doing and watching your results as well as the condition of te pad, then you will be able to see how long you can use a given pad. If the damage in the paint is somewhat light, I can do an entire car with one pad per product. Of course, my technique is always spot on and that's the reason I can get away with that.
