How many PC pads do you.....

PC Pads: Top of the Line & CMA (half 6" & half 7.5")



6 cutting

6 polishing

4 finishing

2 wool



and a couple worthless MF and terry bonnetts
 
I have the following



6" Mequiar's pads for the PC

1 - Red cutting pad

4 - Yellow polishing pads

2 - Beige finishing pads



6" Mequiar's pads for the rotary

2 - Yellow polishing pads



8" Meguiar's pads for the rotary

1 - Red cutting pad

1 - Yellow polishing pad

1 - Beige finishing pad



I don't have enough for my entire product selection, which isn’t even that big, so for some infrequently used product I have to wash a pad or two out really well before and after use.



I am also thinking about obtaining some of the CMA pads to round out my collection.
 
2 Maroon cutting

1 yellow polishing

1 beige finishing



I recently threw out 2 polishing pads, so I had 3 at one point. Going to get 3 more soon. It seems to be the only one I need for most jobs.
 
6" Orbital Foam:

3 yellow cutting

5 white polishing

1 plack finishing

2 Lambs wool



8" Rotary:

2 Yellow cutting

3 White polishing

4 lambs wool





Hey Brad, clear out your PM box. I was trying to return a message and your box won't take any more. PM me again and let me know.

Lake Country Mfg. (PC)

2 (7 inch) advanced VC white polishing

1 (7 inch) advanced VC yellow cutting

1 (6.5 inch) VC black finishing

1 (6.5 inch) VC yellow cutting

1 (5 inch) lambswool polishing



(went through 2 Meguiar's pads one of the polishing and one cutting, along with 2 Lake Country Mfg. VC white polishing, much better than Meguiar's IMHO, Meguiar's lasted me for like 4 polishing session, the Lake Country ones lasted me for two years and 25+ buff outs before failure.)



Lake Country Mfg. (Makita)

1 (8.5 inch) advanced VC yellow cutting

1 (8.5 inch) advanced VC white polishing

1 (8.5 inch) advanced VC black finishing



Also will get 2 3M compounding waffle pads and 2 waffle polishing pads.



The pads themselves cost more almost as much as the machines.....or darn close...
 
A dozen mixed 6" and 7.5" Lake Country pads from CMA and TOL.



Yellow, gray and white foam pads. 7 out of 12 are white pads.
 
How many pads??!! Forget that!! The last time I said and showed a picture of them, I thought someone was going to call the white padded truck for me!!! :D

Currently have 1 yellow 6" cutting pad, 2 6" polishing pads, 2 orange power pads, and 1 7.5" grey pad. There are 2 7.5" yellow and 2 7.5" white pads in a box, that have left the Chicago area, coming from Florida, on their way to Iowa as we speak...



not to mention the box of MF towels on their way from Hawaii....
 
I thought I'd revive this old thread just for fun, since I recently got a PC 7424 in the new year and have been stocking up on supplies. (still haven't actually had a chance to use this puppy yet, but hopefully soon... Spring-like weather has been teasing us up here lately).



Anyway, here's my list of pads (for PC):



Meguiar's

2x - 6.5" yellow polishing pads



Lake Country Mfg.

2x - 6" VC yellow cutting pads

2x - 6" VC white polishing pads

2x - 6" VC black finishing pads



(zero orange, zero wool, and zero bonnets so far)



How's that for starting off?



I'm kinda wondering if I should've even bothered getting the "finishing" pads. It doesn't seem like many people use them... they either apply LSPs by hand or use a polishing pad instead. At least that's the general impression I get.

I cleaned up when I saw free shipping promos and good deals at various vendors. Plus I take advantage of the Autopia discount in David's store and bought a few ;)



Believe me, this was a work in process over a year's time.
 
I have All Meguiars PC pads, they seem to hold up just fine for my tasks. This is my inventory.

3 W-8006 pads
