Hybrid Selection

[dlc95]

I'm interested in trying some pads from the Hybrid line for the 3401, but don't want to commit to getting multiples of each color.

I was thinking of going Blue, Yellow, and Red.

Where would all of you start?

I personally use orange and white most often. Occasionally I will use blue or black but hands down the white polishing pad is the most versatile imo. Orange will give great cut as well and can finish down really nice.

I've got some blue ones for really heavy cutting, orange for 'light' cutting, and white for polishing.

I tend to work a lot on harder VW, Audi and BMW paint, so use mostly orange and white.

The 5" pads really rock, but if you see yourself doing a lot of larger flat panels, a couple of 6.5" will help to cover more ground.

The BP system is required if you want to use the 5" pads though

Thanks!

Orange, white and black, 5" and 6.5" are my options.

Good luck!

I have about 15 white and 15 blue as well as a whopping 2 black. See a trend I have barely used the blue pads, the white, as said above are so versatile. You can used FG400 or 2500 and be about done. I switched from hydro's to these, haven't been happier!

I though orange was heavy cut and blue was light cut? Did I miss something

[parttimer]

You are correct

[dlc95]

Any of you guys try the yellow?

[parttimer]

Yellow has been discontinued i believe
