pad selection is dependent on cut of the product and also the damage you are trying to repair. usually i just use a grey pad on my rotary for correction. then finish up with my orbital and a red pad from lake country mfg. | |

Menzeran and cut level /gloss (1 being the lowest cut and lowest gloss and 5 being highest cut /highest gloss) Power Gloss Compound -- 5 cut/1 gloss SIP(PO85RD 3.02 or PO83) 3.5 cut/3.5 gloss IP -- 3.5 cut/3.5 gloss 106FF-----2.5 cut/5 gloss PO85RD ---1.5 cut/5 gloss Let me know if this helps. 106 is classified as a final polish. | |

| STI Driver | I use a Flex polisher. With the SIP I use the orange lake country CCS pad and for the 106ff I use a white pad. My Zaino AIO is applied with a white CCS as well. My final coat of Zaino Z2pro is done with a grey CCS finishing pad. Lake country is a great brand of pads as well as edge..but not for use on a Flex, yet! This ad is not endorsed by this member.
