Yellow or Orange? 
What color foam pad do you find yourself using the most for defect removal?

Orange, Yellow has to much bite for me, if I can't get the cut I want from Orange I grab some PFW.

Purple foam wool Foamed Wool 6.5 x 1 Thick Polishing / Buffing Pad
I have used yellow w/ XMT360 for a single stage job numerous times and it rocks. I love the yellow for correcting but it should be followed up with a orange and or white depending on product and what the customers wants. I would say hands down the orange is the most used pad in the DA field....IMO!

:dblthumb2:
I did a white vehicle with M105 & PFW and relaxed the pressure for the final passes. Inspected under halogens, Brinkmann and direct sun and ended up going straight to LSP with excellent results. PFW cuts well but it can also be much more gentle than yellow. I've always had marring issues with LC yellow.
YMMV... TL

Isn't the PFW more aggressive than yellow?

:whs:And for my black car, white without blue (and 85rd) is like cake without icing.

Going to try Kompressure yellow next with Ultrafina instead of the blue pad.

Are you talking about the gold ones? I would be very interested to know what you think. If you like it better let me know.

I just always had a TON of marring from yellow, but I can't say I've tackled any C5/C6's.

It can be depending on pressure, speed and chemicals. Since it's nice and soft moderating pressure can result in a pretty nice finish.

Geeeeeezzz guys, there's so many factors in machine polishing, it can be frustrating for a beginner like myself, but I still love it!!! I've already gotten better from when I first started a short time ago, but still have a long way to go!
