So there was no need to use the Wolfgang finishing polish, I would if it were mine or a customers vehicle, I'm kinda on the fence with the Rupes pads mainly because of price but hey they work.
They are pricey, but I think they are quality and run smooth compared to the thinpros

Re: Lake Country ThinPro Foam Pad System
I can not just be in one camp when it comes to pads & polishes. Seems like just to many different paint surfaces to deal with, some days the go to, does not cut it, so I must try something else.
I do agree matching pads made for matching brand polishers work very well.

There yellow polishing pad is unique, all the other polishing pads get quite soft.
Witch sometimes for a one step too soft is no good and too hard is no good as well.
That yellow pad is really really nice for a good one step.
Underrated pad

One of the best pads available. On the Rupes, the yellow pad will be smoother. On an 8mm DA, the thin pro are superior.

Re: Lake Country ThinPro Foam Pad System
Looking to get 12 pads with the sale going on right now.
Which do you reccomend I buy?
I think I am going to get 4 white, 4 Orange, and say 2 of the black and red.
I have already a bunch of the Meg's MF pads, so don't think I need to get any of the gray.
What's the difference between the black and red pads? It said black has no cut at all...so then what's it for then??

Re: Lake Country ThinPro Foam Pad System
I use the black with a finishing polish to amp up gloss.

Yes, don't bother with the grey if you have Meg's MF cutting pads.
I'd get 4 orange, 4 white, 4 black. Black is good for using a finishing polish to remove marring from the previous step. You could use white for that as well depending if the paint is hard. Red is strictly for applying waxes and sealants. You could use black for this as well.
