What's your favorite 3 Pads for Heavy cut/ Medium cut/ Finish/light?

[DanaDetailingPros]

Haven't been seeing many new threads since Noorth started the Rinseless.lol It starts to get stagnate around here. So I'm going to try and think of some good topics/Polls to get things fired up again. I strongly encourage you all to do the same.
So I figure maybe 1-3 choices per category.

Heavy: Rupes blue foam/LC Heavy HDO Micro/ Rupes coarse wool
Rupes Blue foam for medium cutting.Then LC and for my heaviest I would say Coarse Rupes wool.

Medium:Love my LK Orange HDO CCS / Yellow Rupes foam /wool medium
For quality usually gray wool Rupes/For fast work LK HDO CCS Orange. 2nd for finish would be the yellow foam Rupes.

Finish/light: Rupes D-A Fine Microfiber Yellow/LK HDO Black/Carpro Gloss

I Like finishing Most with the Black LK HDO and for jeweling or Polish like Essence Plus I like the Carpro Gloss.

In No way are these set in stone for me, and is why I started this thread. I am to green and not enough time behind my muskets to give any recommendations. But I know a ton of you are:dblthumb2:

When it comes to pads, face size matters to me. That's why i like Lake Country HDO/SDO/CCS more than Rupes and some others.

The pad face of Rupes is bigger than LC pads that i have and i find they will stall or cause the machine to skip more.

The last year or so i really enjoyed my CCS pad too and have a diamond cut orange shinemate pad to try in a few more months. Its much the same face size has the rupes but i hope like the CCS it rides smoother. I'm not a fan of Rupes DA pads frankly.

I'm looking to try sone new ones when I can justify it. I've had my eye on schools Spider and Shine Mate TSerries. Also will be switching to SDO's in the future. HDO's are nice but for the $ I want to try the SDP.

Heavy? My rotary and wool sometimes MF cutting.
Medium? Flex 3401 with orange LC flat or maybe white depending on paint.
Finish? LC white and sometimes black

I had an excellent experience last week with the Rupes Blue Wool pad. I had done some touch ups on a plastic portion of the front end of a Ford F150. I was able to remove the sanding marks from the metal parts of the bumper with relative ease using the Rupes Nano, LC 1" microfiber cutting pads and 3D ACA500.

When I got to the painted plastic it just heated up the substrate and refused give up the sanding marks.

I came back the next day armed with some 1" Rupes Blue Wool pads and my selection of Jescar polishes.

I started with the Medium Polish on the blue wool and I got 85% of them out. I did the next application with the correction compound and that combo obliterated the sanding marks in short order.

This means there may be a shake up in my go-to combos.

But right now:

Heavy:
Buff and Shine Uro-Fiber. I also have a ton of the original Rupes microfiber pads that I like. I don't really have a set of foam cutting pads. I like the LC HDO CCS, but I have those at work. The boss paid for them. I also have the LC microfiber cutting pads there. I may try the LC CCS SDO because we're having issues with the HDO interface foam crumbling.

Medium:
LC Orange HDO
Buff and Shine Uro-Tec Yellow

Fine:
Buff and Shine Uro-Tec white.

I plan on picking up more of the Rupes Wool pads in both the blue and yellow. I may try their foam pads again too. The blue is alot like their old Grey UHS pads. Very stiff and unforgiving.

I do may just end up using thise Rupes Wool pads alongside the Buff and Shine Uro-Tec. Like Noorth said the Rupes foam pads have a really big footprint. I like the more compact nature of the HDO, and even more so the Uro-Tec. I just wish I could get some Uro-Tec "CCS".

This also means I may be restocking Jescar in the arsenal too. That Correcting Compound just makes life easy.

I found that the Griots Fast Finishing MF pad had more cut, or worked faster, than the LC orange pad.
