    First time questions about a PC and Polishing Charts

    I've did some searching and couldn't find an exact chart for this kinda stuff.

    I have the PC7424HD with the Edge 2k pads.

    Is this correct?

    Yellow Pad: XMT 3
    Green Pad: XMT 2 and Klasse AIO Sonus SFX-2
    Blue Pad: XMT 1 and Sonus SFX-3
    White Pad: NXT and Liquid Souvern Wax
    By Hand: P21S
    Microfiber Bonnets: Buffing of NXT and Liquid Souvern

    Questions:
    1)Where does Klasse SG go?

    2)What should the above speeds be?

    3)I'm supposed to move from more abrasive to less abrasive polishes right?

    Thanks a lot for the help!

    Do you not have an orange pad? I like to used orange with XMT 1.

    You can also use XMT 3 with a green, or XMT 2 with yellow. What you listed is good, but it's not set in stone.

    1.) Klasse SG should be the last thing you apply for it's a sealant. I'm not sure how well it will work without having Klasse AIO under it.

    2.) Polishing speeds are usually 5.5/6. Spread the polish on speed 3 or so and then go to 5.5/6.
    When applying waxes, speed 3 is good.

    3.) If you start with yellow pad and XMT 3, you'll almost have to finish with XMT 1 and should be orange pad (green would do). I just did a door with XMT #2 and green pad and the finish was very good, so LSP ready in that case.

    That only answered some questions, but hope this helps.

    Yellow Pad: XMT 3
    Green Pad: XMT 2 and Klasse AIO and Sonus SFX-2
    Orange Pad: XMT 1 and Sonus SFX-3
    Blue Pad: ?
    White Pad: NXT and Liquid Souvern Wax and Klasse SG
    By Hand: P21S
    Microfiber Bonnets: Buffing of NXT and Liquid Souvern

    Oh, I forgot about the orange pad. Yeah, Klasse SG is applied after AIO, but then which pad should be it used on?

    Waxes white pad is fine right? So what's the blue pad used for? I heard your supposed to use waxes on the Blue Pad, and only use White to put microfiber bonnets. Would NXT be better on the blue pad?

    Ohhh, so I can mix and match pads with polishes for different levels, would XMT 3 with green be similar to XMT 2 with yellow as you mentioned?

    Edit: I just turned it on and tried it out, it vibrates a LOT, especially at speed 6. I'm not even sure if I can work well with it at speed 6 for too long. It vibrates a lot and makes my hands feel all weird due to a tingly feeling. Is it supposed to be like that? Maybe I'll get used to it?

    i always thought the green was the most abrasive, therefore XMT3...?

    Yeah, but thats for the Lake Country pads, I have the Edge2k pads. I think I generally understand the idea though.

    According to the AG store website, yellow is more abrasive then green.
