Best Pads?

**CamaroFan71** · 03-23-2009, 01:23 PM

Just got a PC and want some good pads to use with it. What do you detailing guys use? I know you use different pads for different outcomes, what to get??

Lake country pads work great,

Yellow = medium cutting (for use with rubbing compound)
Orange = Light cutting (for polishing swirls and scratches)
White = polishing (light swirls)
Black = finishing
Blue = Final Finishing (wax application or sealant)

tropi-care has the pads for a good price as with anything you need to buff with (menzerna intensive polish is awesome with orange pad)

I sold the black car and now have a Silver Metallic GTO. It doesnt show any swirls or marks hardly at all because of the color. So which pads would be best for upkeep? White - Black and then blue? Its has a couple of marks that you cant feel with your fingernail, just see.
