    Buff and shine urotec pads with flex 3401

    I remember Todd Helme doing a 1-step test which included PF2500. He used the 3401 and a white polishing pad. To my surprise, on that soft paint, PF2500 did not finish too well in this comparison of products. Generally speaking, I do feel the maroon pad finishes best on harder paint.

    I also remember reading that Perfect Finish was more geared towards forced rotation/rotary, and the 04 - 06 was more for random orbitals.

    What was your experience with them?

    You're dead on. Never tried perfect finish, but didn't like 04-06 at all. Reminds me of UHS compound, so you just might like it.

    That's hilarious, whenever I have a terrible experience or can't figure how to effectively use a product or pad it's generally safe to assume he will have the exact opposite experience.

    Also, I never want to say it because I know how much he loves green B&S polishing pads with PF2500 but I just could never get the hang of it. I always give it a shot, then get frustrated with how long it takes to break down and after the first set I'll always reach for HD Polish+ or Boss Correcting Cream.

    LOL!

    Well, in full disclosure, I normally pair the green with M100, or Ultimate Compound, and sometimes with FG400.

    I feel I get the best performance out of Menzerna polishes using the Hydrotechs. That dense foam really works out those abrasives. I bet that new blue HDO pad is gonna rip with FG!

    The pads most guys hate from Rupes I absolutely love - Blue, Green, and Grey - all day long!

    The UHS is my "secret weapon" these days. And I love that it just won't dust!
