I'm seeing that everyone is using the orange pads.
How about yellow ones?
do you guy's ever use those?
 
I use them with Menzerna Power Finish when doing a one step sometimes
 
I've used a yellow flat pad to remove a scratch. It definitely has a lot of cut, in comparison to the orange pad.
 
I used them on "hard scratch resistant" Nissan clear coat (per the sticker under hood) to remove swirls with Wolfgang TSR that an orange pad with the same polish wouldn't remove. I used the CCS 5.5" non-constant contact pads. They did give more cut than the orange. I think a lot of people use orange is because they are hesitant to use the strongest cut of anything in polishing and often they are not needed. I can also tell you I was able to burn through clear coat with this combo and a PC 7424 on 6 trying to get out a scratch using way too much pressure(live and learn).

OK! Good thing to know! i never guessed you could actually burn through pain with a DA
When i tried mine, with menzerna power gloss (Compound) i could hear that it sound stronger than anything i heard before.. and i actually used it very carefully.
 
I use the yellow CCS pads with Meguiar's #4 Heavy Cut Cleaner to remove spots on windows.
 
Yellow>I use them on gelcoat (those that need it) and follow up with a lesser pad.

I use 5.5" LC flat yellow with both rotary and DA.

A descent cut, but nothing excessive.
 
I have several of them and use them on occasion on vehicles with hard clear coats...corvettes etc.

I don't use them very often as most of the time I can get buy without the heavy cutting that they offer, but they are nice to have in the event that I have them.

Of course with the surbuff pads I have, I don't use them as much as I use to.
 
I used one today with Mothers Water Spot Remover. It is a stiff pad.

Being new to this myself, I take it when people are referring to an "Orange" pad, that they are referring to the color of the foam and not the color on the Lake Country Pad Application Guide

I'm using a LC CCS 6.5" Blue foam pad. The paint was near perfect and I figured if an imperfection needed polishing, I'd sooner go slow and take my time.

I'm also using Meguiar's 205 to polish.
 
I dont like these pads in the CCS Version. Always seem to leave lots of marring.

The yellow flat pad is a different story. They work very well and dont marr.

about the question on using this as a 1 step, that is correct. On Audi paint the flat pad finish's fine with either menzerna power finish or SIP. Ive never tried them with Megs SMAT products though. not sure how that would work out.
