I am searching for a 4 inch foam pad to use with the application of HD Speed. The car is in very good condition with minor swirls. If someone can recommend a 4 inch polishing foam pad brand/color that is sold on Autogeek it would be greatly appreciated.

More than likely a White or Green Lake Country pad would do. Or any pad that is for Polishing.

From what I have read:

Rupes Yellow
Buff and Shine Green
Lake Country Orange

I've used strictly Orange LC and Buff & Shine to great success. 5.5" pads. I only use 4" for getting into tight areas with my Rupes Mini.

I just used the orange LC CCS pad with great success. I wasn't getting the results I wanted quick enough with my Rupes 15 Mark II, so I used my rotary. Talk about Speed. The rotary cut my time in half. I thought it finished down LSP ready. Not perfect, but got rid of the swirls and many of the scratches.

I use Buff & Shine blue on new cars or when paint is in great condition, and green on just about everything else.

I use Buff & Shine orange on hard VW clear with Speed. Works great!!

LC thin-pro Orange works great too.

If it's like the last couple Fords I've worked on the paint is pretty hard. I would probably go with the Buff n Shine orange...assuming it is the Ford your working on.
