For light compounding and anytime I'm using a one-step cleaner/wax like the BLACKFIRE One Step I'm mostly using the 180mm or 7" YELLOW RUPES CP Foam Pads.

For medium to heavy cutting I'm using the Lake Country 6.5" Force Hybrid ORANGE foam cutting pads.

And for REALLY heavy cutting I'm using the RUPES Coarse Wool Polishing pad.


Here's my article with pictures and links


Mike Phillips recommended foam pads for the FLEX Family of BEAST 8mm Gear-Driven Orbital Polishers
