Which CCS pads should I buy?

[P1et]

I want to buy some new CCS pads as they look pretttttty nice and I've seen some pros have great results with them.

That said, I definitely want a white pad. If I want one extra pad, which one should I choose? I will be using this with a very mild polish, PO85RD.

What confuses me is that the gray pad supposedly will remove buffer swirls, yet has not cutting power. How can you remove buffer swirls without cutting power???

First thing is are you using a PC or a rotary? Second thing is what kind of detailing are you doing? Is it just for your vehicles or are you doing others? How often will you use them? What kind of defects do you have? Do you use a PC or rotary to apply glazes, waxes or sealants?

I can tell you one pad with one back up is not enough. I recommend at least 3 of each type that you purchase.

I'm using a PC and I'm mainly doing my own black vehicles, but have the occasional paid detail.

And no, I don't use the PC to apply glazes, waxes or sealants. Only polishes.
