    Twin Disc - electronic/electric controls - Synchronizer

    I never have figured out how to use my synchronizer on my 1997 400SB. I do not have a manual to refer to. It was the stock/original single control arm per engine with rocker switch on electrical panel to activate. Help me if you can....I seem to be blind to the procedure that makes it synchronize.

    Which buffing pads to use with polish/cleaner and which type pad for wax for wax.

    I'm confused when to use foam and when to use cloth/wool pads when buffing/waxing my hull. My first process is a polish/cleaner by Prism. I then use a hard wax by Meguires. I use a electric variable speed machine and tend to stay in the 1500 rpm range. Any information/ tips would be appreciated.
