Need help selecting PC Pads

I plan on buying some pads for my PC but don't know which pads to use.



I will need a pad for applying:



3M SMR

Z1 + Z2





suggestions please? and where would be the best place to buy everything?
 
I like the Meguiar's pads because you can get a three-pack (2 polishing and one finishing) for like $25. Plus, you can probably find them locally.



For SMR, you'd want a polishing pad (they have a little bit of "cut"). If you don't get the results you want, you may have to try a cutting pad (which has more cut).



For the Z2, you'd want a finishing pad which has no cut.



For the Z1, you could probably use either.



So actually, if you use a polishing pad for the Z1, then the Meguiar's 3-pack might be perfect. The polishing pads aren't just for polishes. I use them for all-in-ones like Klasse AIO and Meguiar's Medallion Protectant.



But this is just my opinion. I've never used the CMA pads, but I'm sure they are great too. The Meguiar's are great and the price is hard to beat (especially with no shipping).

No shipping via Meguiars website?
 
Just bought a few "advanced" pads from CMA. I'll let you know how they do. $77.00 shipped for pads is high IMO. Maybe they are worth it. we'll see/

Yes, there is shipping through the website. But Meguiar's pads can be found locally at most Meguiar's dealers. So you won't have to have it shipped at all. Meguiar's dealers are pretty common, so I'll bet there is one near you. However, the shipping from Meguiar's site isn't too bad. It's basically actual-cost fees.
