I figured it was the HT Tangerine. I was reading a HD review over on Autopia: Another HD Polish Review where a gentlemen was so impressed with that Combo, he bought a Gallon of HD Polish and 20 HT Tangerine Pads.

A good friend of mine was traveling and found himself in Taiwan. Met up with and made friends with some detailing people over there (Parker Auto Detailing in Taipei) and saw that they were using these. He picked me up a couple sets and brought them back with him. Same thing with the pneumatic polishers!

I like them. I had a green Rupes pad that was nearing its end and wanted to put it to use! I have used this same combo before, the pads/backer can tend to heat up a bit with the Flex and can and will fail much more quickly than with a Rupes polisher.
More pics of the M7 pneumatic polishers:
The one on the top of the picture is the DA-you can see the counterweight on it.
The one in the top of this pic is the DA-you can see a front shot of the counterweight on it.
Kit that he brought back for me:
It even had some very small, 1" and some smaller pads that came with it. Foam, microfiber. Pretty cool!
Thank you everyone who responded and I hope this helps everyone out!

I've got a set of 3 cones. Heavy, medium and a light cut. Blue, orange and yellow. I will post up pics of them later on!
RPM: max is 15,000, and it is variable.

Re: Review: HD polishes!
I've been using HD Polish. I like the end result, but not the dusting. I've tried priming the pad with polish, not priming the pad, misting the pad with water, etc. The water helps, but nothing really seems to work. It's not dusting badly, but it's still a bit of a pita. Even though I polish indoors, could it be the summer heat? Any other suggestions? TIA

Re: Review: HD polishes!
So I go back to my home country for the first time in 20+ years and what do I do first? Find detailing gear.

If the pads were previously used they sometimes will contain dust from the previous polishing session even if you think they are cleaned out well. I've been using HD Polish since it first came out and never had any dusting even in hot, hot weather.

Good thought, but the 5'' Meguiar's thin pad I used was new. Polishing was done using an MT300 at 5800 opm with light-to-medium pressure and 3-4 passes.
Considering the many positive reviews HD Polish has received, I'm a little disappointed. Actually, some of the dusting spots wouldn't wipe off certain black trim pieces all that easily. Maybe I got a bottle from a batch that wasn't quite right.
The results were good and the finish looks nice, but I'm not planning on buying more HD Polish.
