Default LC pads

Hi Phil,

Just a quick question prior to completing our order for the pads and MF's.

What are the most common LC pads you wind up using ? I was initially going to get 2 of each size kits but I think there are probably some pads in there I will never use

I will looking at both the 5.5" and 6.5" for use with rotary and Flex 3401 btw

Don't buy yellow...they're a waste. You're better off with a foamed wool for aggressive corrections. I would strongly suggest blue, gray, white (in whatever size you want) and a 5" orange (for lights, medium corrections).

Thanks for that Richy and Matrix.

@ Richy, why do you suggest the black and blue pads, as far as I know they both have no cut and are for applying waxes, etc ?

Orange, Green, White and Black. The greens are must have for AIOs or one steppers. Like richy said stay away from yellow and just get a couple of foamed wool. Really the black, blue or red will do the exact same thing I just prefer the black for no real reason.

I use orange, green and black. I have yellow but have used them maybe once or twice. Orange with Menz PG has been able to correct the worst stuff I've encountered. I am interested in the foamed wool, though. The green is way nicer to use than the white IMHO and was developed for use with Menz polishes. Using it with SIP can leave paint more than good enough for your LSP. Black with Menz PO85RD is magic. I dont apply LSPs with a machine so have no use for red, blue or the new gold. Keep it simple!!!

I love using the black with 106 or 85rd and the blue I use with DG 501.

If any you guys are using the Flex 3401, Please tell me what and where you get the pads. I've been having trouble finding the 6 or 6.5 with the velcro backs! Or have all of you bought the Edge adapter for the Flex? Help!

I've purchased most of mine from AG but a few I have picked up from members.
