Best Pad Prep For DA?

[Man of Valor]

Hello everyone I am kind of new to Autogeek forums. I believe I used them maybe once or twice before. Anyways I was wondering if any one could tell me what type pads I should get for the Meguiars Dual Action Polisher G110v2 in order to get out fine scratches and swirl marks. This will be my first time using a D.A Polisher and want to make sure I get exactly what I need. Any suggestions? Also if you could suggest the types of polish or compounds I use to get them out. Any suggestions will help.

Here is a chart showing the Lake Country CCS pads and what they are used for. You can go here and select any 6 pads you want for $49. (saves a bit of money by buying 6 at a time)

For light swirls, you probably want the orange and white pads. For more aggressive action, get the yellow. Plus, the results you get will also depend on what compound/polish you use. Btw, I also bought the Meg's G110, and works great.

I hear great things about Meguiars D151 Paint Reconditioning Cream It will cut the paint more or less, depending on what pad you use. I'm getting some soon.

Hi Brad,

Sorry that I am asking you a question rather than answering your's, but are you sure that m105 is the right product here?
I don't know how hard is the Corolla's paint in the US, but where I live they are known for having really soft paint.. Perhaps starting out with a less aggressive compound be better? Let's say ultimate compound, or Menzerna Super Intensive Polish?
