Re: Lake county hybrid pads
More cut than orange for me is a MF cutting pad or Purple foamed wool.
Re: Lake county hybrid pads
You may need to go to a compound and two step it depending on the results.
Next step up would microfiber cutting pads and wool/foamed wool. Both of which would probably need to followed up with a polish.
Re: Lake county hybrid pads
Hey,
I know what you mean about the blue (cyan) pads feeling more aggressive than the orange but once you start working with them the blue has a softer feel, maybe not as firm or dense as the orange Hybrids but great pads nonetheless. I think because of the abrasive technology in compounds now, even a cutting pad can finish down LSP ready so maybe there isn't as much need for that "in between" cutting pad. In saying that, I use the blue Hybrids & Pinnacles Advanced Swirl Remover often when I have a vehicle in thats not quite bad enough to need a full compound. Least aggressive method first though remember.
I have no experience with HD products but as I understand it, HD Speed is an AIO? For the most part most AIO's work better with a softer pad IMO. If you aren't getting the results you would like from any product, it usually means you need to step up to the next level, in your case maybe a dedicated polish or compound. As Mantilgh & Puckman both said too - a microfibre, foamed wool or wool pad offer a more aggressive cut if desired.

Re: Lake county hybrid pads
Forget the blue pads. They are a tad bit redundant considering the fact that one can correct and finish any vehicle using MF, orange, and white pads while alternating compounds and polishes with the different pads to achieve the results you desire.

Don't bother with MF pads if you're using the Flex 3401. MF pads work better with a free spinning DA. Pick up a hybrid wool pad if you want more cut with the 3401 or use a compound with the orange hybrid.

When someone actually shows you how to polish, you will learn WAY faster. You could pick up Meguiars Ultimate Compound from any auto parts store. It's good stuff, too. Try that first.
