? For CCS Pad users

[JAF06SE]

I use them. Have for the past couple years since I bought my PC. My question is....what colors do.you use for what? I have pretty ugh all of them except the blue and purple wool one. I mainly use my white and grey/black pads. I use my grey ones for all my applications mainly. I have the red and used them once. They were too soft and soaked up way too much product, even after priming the hell out them. Plus they're a pain to clean for the same reason. I want to know what anyone else that uses them or used them in the past used each color for. Mainly the finish ones, grey, red, blue, gold. Putting together a small Christmas list for the wife and just wondering if I should get some more grey or maybe try some new ones.

It depends on your application and product.

Yellow - if heavily oxidized, will depend on product. Usually I'll use this pad with a less aggressive product.

Orange - Moderate to aggressive product (i.e. HD Speed to Menz FG400)

White - Polish

Black - Past Wax Application

Blue - Liquid Wax application

Personally, I do not think that a PC with CCS is the best combo available

The thick CCS Pads absorb a lot of the power of the machine

I really like the Meguiar's Microfiber Cutting Discs and their new thin foam pads for a PC

They came in my kit when I bought it. Have been very pleased with them and the durability. I still use my original pads. The 6.5's are too big yes. I bought a handful of 5.5's and they're awesome. I've heard good things from others about how they hold up and I have been happy. I thought about the Megs MF kit but I don't do enough corrections to justify it. I have a decent supply of the yellow and orange cutting pads. They handle everything I need for correction.

I used both 5.5 Hydro-tech and 5.5 CCS with a PC, and I love the CCS. They perform brilliantly, clean up nice and last a long time.

For the GG G-15, I use either the GG pads for the BOSS, or the CCS. I like the GG pads and pair nicely with the GG Fast Correction Cream.

I've used the orange, white, green and red 5.5" pads on my PC, although I also agree that the ccs pads tend to absorb too much of the power due to its thickness.

Orange - defect removal on medium paints,

White and Green - polishing or AIO's

Red - applying liquid waxes or sealants, although I found that it didnt absorb a lot of product at all, seemed to keep most of the wax on the surface of the pad, saving alot of product in my experience.

For harder paints, the Meguiars MF pads really work well on the PC.

I like the black for cleaner waxes, and sealant application.

I use the blue for final polishing.

I use the red for dedicated sealant or wax application. It's almost always a sealant though.

For general cutting (heavy, medium) I like the pink.

For general polishing I like the green.

CCS are still some of my favorite pads. I like pads with dimples, or cuts in them, especially for cutting, as the reduce heat, and (for me) offer a smoother cutting experience at high speeds. However, I don't cut with the stiff, smaller pore pads, but the (somewhat) softer, coarser pads with more open cell structures, like the pink ccs, or green buff and shine.

I only use CCS pads have all the colors. Just do pretty much everyone else says as far as the colors for different products and depending upon surface condition. As far as the PC I have one and used 5.5 CCS on it but after I bought a Flex a couple of years ago I haven't touche PC. Get a Flex and some 6.5 CCS and you will never look back.

If you have a PC you lack power. Meaning those large pads are more mass to rotate and spin.

You should get low profile pads. For your PC you will see better cutting ability at a faster rate. As well as they are more sturdy and run cooler.

Go with the megs low profile discs. I have personal experience with those and are excellent. On the pc
