| Grey vs blue 6.5" PC pad...
What's the practical difference between the two pads...the description says they're used for the same thing. I already have the grey and use it to apply NXT. Should I use the blue pad instead?

The gray pad is used more for applications, the blue pad can be used for application and/or removal, I still say remove anything by hand with a mf, on the other hand you can get MF bonnets to fit over your blue or grey pads to remove stuff, I have some, but haven't used them yet, I just feel safer doing it by hand.

OK, I'll stick with the grey pads then. I used it to apply the NXT quickly. It was much easier to lay a thin coat down with the PC. I still had to use the foam applicator pad for spots where the PC couldn't reach.
I'll also stick with removing the wax with a MF towel. It was so easy to do that there is no point in chancing putting in a swirl or scratch with the PC.

A/G has a nice little bonnet package for the 7424......

you could use bonnets alone with a soft foam core (finishing pads). Remember you need a little stability to help remove the wax/sealant. And I have found the blue pads to be a touch softer initially, but seems my grey pads seem to get softer after first use. (maybe just my imagination)

I Would use the M.F. bonnet on top of a lambs wool bonnet as in the 7424 bonnet package as a very last buff....... low speed......3

To me the satisfaction comes from sight and touch. I love the shine but I also love feeling how the mf towel just glides effortlessly over my newly polished and waxed car.
