best types of foam buffing pads to use?
What are the best types of foam buffing pads to use I'm new to the da polisher and see there are so many different types of pads at all different price ranges. All I know is you have to keep plenty on hand the busier you get. I have a PorterCable 7424 xp hd model da. Thanks Richard44

5.5" low profile pads from Lake Country are the most popular choice. They work great, are easy to clean, and are durable. IMO

I agree the low profile 5.5 inch flat pads are the best. I would get more orange and yellow than the other colors if defects you are trying to remove are bad. But if you are doing a newer car and the defects are not that bad then orange and white.

I just ordered 12 of the Lake Country CCS 5.5". 6 of which are the orange pads for correction. I'm still working to get some swirls/scratches out.

Lake Country Flat Pads. I got 5 white, 2 orange, 2 black, and 1 blue. I have a lot of white because the car Im working on have soft paint. It just comes down to what type of paint youre working on. Also make sure you get at least 4 cutting pads. I started with 2 only and it was such a hassle.

+1 for Lake Country.
I really like the 5.5 hydro tech pads.

The ones stated here are great choices but I prefer the Buff and Shine 5" pads the most.
In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.
