Does the cyan (blue) Hydro Tech have noticeably more cutting power than the LC FLAT orange, or vice versa?

I love my tangerine and my cyan pads.
The cyan pads have a good bite, and finish great.
The tangerine like the cyan stays pretty firm and also has some good cutting for minor swirls.
I found both pads to achieve any desired results depending upon the compound/polish you use.
These pads have become my favorite pads. That's all I use for my Flex. I love them!

I will be using Griots ROP with 105 w/ cyan hydro pad, then finishing w/ 205 and CCS white pad on my z06. :xyxthumbs:

Using the Cyan pad with Menz PowerFinish is AMAZING!!! But I used a Makita.

Just know using a RO on your Vette clear coat is going to take a lot of time and patience.

That's what I'm concerned about. The new Griot's DA is pretty powerful though, so we'll see.

Yes the cc on your vette is very hard. But using 105/205 you'll be fine with the da. Yes it's not going to be as fast as a rotaray, but you'll get nice results pretty quick. Just remember to work a small section at a time approximately 18"x18". May want to consider finishing up with Menz 85rd on a blue LC CCS pad to take the finish to the next level.

I just found this, and this is with the less powerful PC7424XP.

Will the Flex make matters any better compared to the Griot's 6"?
