Which color pads should I use with Menzerna Intensive & Super Finish Polish

I have lake country orange, white and gray pads. I have already gone over the car with the Intensive polish with a lake country orange pad and the reflection is clearer. But, isn't the orange pad for cutting imperfections and swirl removal, the white and gray pads for reflection/gloss? So, should I now go over the car with the white pad with intensive polish, then the gray pad with super finish? If not, which pad with which polish and which order? I am trying to make a new Silver Mustang have some pop! I know, hard to do with silver.
 
Should be OK...



1. Menzerna Super Intensive Polish PO91E on an (LC) Orange pad

2. Menzerna Final Finish PO106FA on a (LC) White pad

3. Menzerna Final Polish PO85RD on a (LC) Black (Grey) pad

 
Since it is silver, go with the super finish on the white pad and you should be good to go. If it were a dark car, you can then use the same polish on the gray pad afterward to get that.little bit extra, and you sure can on a silver car, it just may not give you much, if any, extra to be worth the time. Go with the white and super finish and I think you will he very happy.



If I am confused with the Menzerna naming, I thought super finish was the same as the old Nano or 106fa?
 
I looked at the Menzerna Super Finish bottle and it says 4500. Here is a link showing the bottle and it says formerly known as PO85RD. Menzerna Super Finish SF4500 32 oz (formerly known as PO85RD Final Finish). I would love to get reflection like this guy's Mustang. He has most of his photos in HDR which enhances the gloss but, either way, the reflection is the best I've seen. I am wondering if he gets the great reflection from the polish or does the Chemical Guys Black Light make that much of a difference.

Lol, i don't know what my bottles say on them now, as Menzerna seems to be changing the names weekly on me! :) I use 106FA and the consensus seems to be to follow up with black pad and 85RD after that on black or dark cars. Not sure if the polish you have will have enough cut to clean up after the IP, but it should, especially with the white pad. Give it a shot on the white pad and i'm certain you will be happy.



The gloss that person has on that paint would not be achievable on factory paint with the products we have available to us. The pictures are quite doctored to make it look like that.



You can get a decent depth and gloss on silver and you are well on your way to getting there.
