Got a deal on some B&S pads

[malin819]

I currently have in my arsenal

6 LC Flat Orange
6 LC Flat White
2 LC CCS Green
1 LC CCS Blue

I got a very good deal on some B&S pads and would like your input on which one I should get...different color scheme!!!

 

[Evan.J]

Buff and Shine

Orange cutting
White Meduim Cutting or heavy polishing
Green polishing
Black finishing
Red finishing/finessing

Can't go wrong with any of the pads IMO the more pads you have the better off you are.

Get a 4 yellow for heavy cutting, add 4 more green, 4 black. Now youre ready.

So id use the black with my LSP? would only need one pad then

 

[builthatch]

i went with orange, green and black in 5.5" and the same for the 4" pads 'cept i got yellow as well for certain heavy cut situations.

didn't get yellow for 5.5" because Hyper compound, orange pad and a powerful machine is absolutely as aggro as i'd ever need for large areas.

the exact breakdown for my first B&S order last summer was:

1x 4" yellow two pack
3x 4" orange two packs
3x 4" green two packs
2x 4" black two packs
5x 5.5" orange
5x 5.5" green
2x 5.5" black

if you get yellow and orange, you'll notice that yellow seems less aggressive than orange. it feels that way but trust me, it isn't.

The B&S yellow finishes very well on hard paint and is very aggressive.

The B&S red is best for LSP application--very soft but very dense pores so it doesn't absorb much product.

I'd replace those CCS pads--never felf the little indents had any great advantage and a few disadvantages.

I too went away from the CCS and to a flat pad. I think you have plenty of the Orange and white (and they are flat) I would go with a couple Yellow, maybe 3 green, and 2 red (per suggestion cause I have never used the black or red B&S pads)
