Hey guys, I was on Autogeeks and Danases website looking at some pads,



Autogeek says their green ccs pad is a polishing/finishing pad and Danase says his green ccs pad is a heavy polishing pad, a step up from the white.



I need a pad to apply RMG and was looking for a black finishing pad. On autogeek they have a grey finishing pad, on danase, his finishing pad is blue. The blue pad on autogeek is a finessing pad.



So whos right and whos wrong?

Also, would I use a white LC pad for application of XMT 360?



Just checked LC's website



Blue - Finishing

Black - Finessing

White -Polishing

Green-Heavy polishing



What is the difference between finishing and finessing? maybe finessing for glazes and finishing for LSP's?



Thanks!



Jim
 
The Green LC's are actually lighter then the Black ones. Green LC's are finishing/sealant pads. Black could also be a finishing pad, but you can use it for glazes and very light polishing. White is just a different beast altogether, its an entirely different kind of foam. Its actually a relative of the Orange pad.

Maybe its just a terminolgy thing. To me, finishing is, well, finishing as in LSP. Light polishing could mean using a glaze with light abrasives, such as VM.

It takes quite a bit of education/trial and error/experience understanding pads, polishes, which works best with what, and at what speed.
 
In the CCS pads, the green is a light cut pad. Funny thing is I can finish on the rotary with it on most cars I've tried. The white or blue is called for in some instances.
