Hi guys,
what do you think about using 3D One with a black finishing pad to polish before coating?

Really depends on your test spot and if you are content with the finish.

Personally I see no point. Black pads have no real cut and unless you're paint is aftermarket and orange peel free, it won't have any significant refinement applied that would be worth anything. I would simply pop on a light polishing pad and give it a once over. I would also recommend you look the coating line you plan on using to see if they have a primer or base-coat polish you can use. CarPro Essence or GYEON's Primer are two that come to mind for their respective coatings. Being this is a CanCoat thread, I'd stress using Primer. It's a great product and helps CanCoat go on and off easier. It's my go-to polish for GYEON coatings.

And after your test spot, fully buff the area, spray some prep spray, wipe off and see if you feel any slickness at all or is the surface squeaky clean?

Agree and I'd go so far as to say using a black pad would be a waste of time. It's REALLY soft and better suited to applying an LSP. If you wanted to go very gentle a blue LC pad would be a better choice. Realistically, I'd think a white pad with 3D One would be a good starting point for a test spot.

I ordered a bottle of 3D AAT 502 polish. I’m going to use that with a black pad. (That’s what they recommend) if it’s not working well, I’ll switch to a blue pad.
That should get me prepped for Can Coat.

If that is the recommended pad, then I would not doubt their instructions to start with.

But like you stated, you can always switch it up.

They recommend it as it's a follow up to their AAT compound where the compound may leave haze and require finishing. I agree with the others on just using a polishing pad. You are not going to remove that much clear if that is what you are worried about.

I'm surprised they recommend a black pad at all. Even to remove compound haze I'd use a white or blue pad depending on the paint. The black is so soft I see it having only one real use.

I haven't tried the AAT compound but if it is anything similar to ACA 500 then I can see why as it finishes good on most paints. Especially on harder paints.
