Which pad question
Fairly new to polishing with a DA. I was planning on using an LC orange pad with Meg's 105 & I was wondering if the green pad or gray pad would be best to follow with the 205? Also, will a gray pad work best if I wanted to apply the final wax with the PC?

Gray will work perfect with M205. For applying a wax I would recommend either a gold or red pad.

Thanks! I prefer a paste. Will the red pad work well with a paste too?

I've tried those. They get gunk all over my finish. Are you supposed to use them fresh out of the box, because I was digging them out of the trash.

I will be sending you a bill for the Diet Dr Pepper that I just spit over my keyboard.

Meg's 105 > Orange Pad

Meg's 205 > White Pad

Finish up with Meg's 205 > Black Pad

I would go with the Red or Gold pad for wax, but if your using a paste then go with a Red one.
