    Re: So many colors...I'm so confused.

    I made my own chart based on pad manufacturer and Prodict supplier.

    Only work on my own car, so the chart is a guide specific to my car.

    Example:

    Orange ThinPro pad with Optimum Compound for swirl and 3000 sanding marks.

    I put in a plastic sheet protector and sits on the wall in the garage.

    Change it up if I find a better combination.

    The white are good too though. I could use either the blue or white for polishing.

    So I did my detail yesterday. I used the green pads with Griot's correcting cream and it came out pretty darn well. I did use one white pad on the roof of the truck and it was caked up much quicker than the green, and with more polishing materiel as well. I assume it's because it's a closed cell pad?

    I put a coat of soft99 Fusso cost on and will likely top it with some DP Max Wax this weekend.

    That's great!!

    The cells on the white are both closed and open, as well as being smaller, which might account for the caking of material.
