what pads to use with Fg400 for one step

[choijw2]

Good morning,

I been using FG400 with MF pads on rupes and always finished with SF4000 because there always some minor haze i could see with light.

I been seeing people using fg400 as one step with LSP ready and looks like they used polishing pad, some light cutting pads

any pad suggestion for fg400 that can finish without haze?

I have had good luck with Buff and Shine/Uber orange on hard paints and green on softer ones. On some paints, I've even had decent finishing ability on a Rupes blue mf pad and gone over it with an aio to finish.

Not sure what pad to recommend for RUPES users but I generally will use either a blue light cutting or white polishing pad from the Hybrid lineup driven by the Flex 3401. Either will get this one step to LSP ready depending on paint behavior and pad choice.

I use an orange uber pad or a megs MF pad on hard paint sndget good results for a 1 step. If i am doing a 2 step i follow that with some sf4000

On a Rupes I'd use there green pad on harder clears and there yellow on softer clears. Another suggestion for your Rupes would be the new Meg's burgundy thin foam disc. They cut and finish very nice, even on fairly soft Honda paint.

Until you do a test spot you won't know. There is no one pad for all paint or one product for all paint. Do a test spot to see which looks best.

What Mike said, Menz with the hybrid line is awesome.

Just got done doing a one step with Menz FG400. Typically orange pads are the go to. For harder clears go with a dense or mf pad. For softer an uber green is great

I used a LC flat orange to do the Camry I posted about.

Agreed.
