The blue wool and Menzerma 400 leave and almost LSP ready finish on some paints (surprisingly).
LC Microfiber cutting pads and Menzerma 2500 works well for removing moderate defects depending on the paint. When using a wool or microfiber pad I always follow up with a foam finishing pad and a finishing polish to remove any haze. Again, let a test spot be your guide.
The reason why I was asking Rupes blue foam pad and menzerna 400 did not do the job there was lot stalling and the rupes duettp was jumping with the pads
Was wondering if I could use a more aggressive pad with a least cut polish would that end up in a better finish
Thought of taking some advice from experts before I do something which I am not well versed with

Re: Menzerna 3800 plus and rupes wool pad
So you're sort of looking for maybe doing what's referred to as a "one step" polishing sequence.
Get some extra cut from the more aggressive pad, and a good finish from the ultra fine polish.
I tend to like using foam pads for that. The Rupes UHS system is EXCELLENT for accomplishing that goal. I also really like Menzerna PF2500 (or MC2500 as It's labeled today) on Lake Country Hydrotech Tangerine Polishing pads when using a Porter Cable 7424, or Flex 3401.
However, one combo that I had a lot of use from is Rupes Keramik on their original yellow microfiber pads. It generally finishes great, and gets a nice amount of correction. On some paints, I have had it leave a haze - two black gm vehicles.
Rupes Quarz (green) on green foam is another that I've successfully been able to one step on certain paints. In general I find the UHS to cut about the same, but finish out better. Same with the yellow microfiber + Keramik - cut about the same, but finished out better.

Prime the Rupes wool pad completely. Take your finger and rub the polish over the face of the pad (not too much) and the pad won’t skip. I just used the pads and 400 with no problem. I prime microfiber pads the same way.

Thanks will try that ..is there are any other reason apart from not priming the pad which can lead to stalling

An orbital will almost always stall on curves. Use a gear driven or rotary if you want to prevent stalling.
Since you seem to be a bike kind of guy, get the Ropes Ibrid polisher.
