Ok, so I am have decided to include a PC into the maintenance of my vehicle. I want to go over this with the knowledgeable gentlemen and ladies on this forum. I want to get all my products from AG because I love in Florida, and the costumer service is great.
I plan on buying the PC w/ the CCS Pad kit. 2 white, 2 gray, and 1 Blue pads, and the stuff to maintain them.
I can’t seem to understand the differences between the pads.
< Is the blue pad the least abrasive of the 3?
< Has anyone used an orange pad on a Mitsubishi?
I plan to get XMT polish #3, 1 and 360.
I plan to use #1, 360 on all side panels and #3, #1, and 360 on the hood, roof, and trunk.
I can hardly see the swirls on the side of the car.
THE PLAN
Pinnacle wash
XMT #3 (hood, roof, trunk only)
XMT #1
XMT 360
Liquid Souveran

I plan to use the spray wax after every wash (2x/ week). Every month I will re-wax. And every 4 months I will use XMT 360, and re-wax.
< What pads would you suggest for the above steps?
I will appreciate any other suggestions.

Thanks in advance, Mike
 
Yes, blue is the least abrasive. Looks like the white, gray, and blue pads arent cutting pads. Rather they are all pretty much polishing pads, blue being the least aggressive.

IMO, if you have XMT 360, then you dont need XMT #1. 360 has the same correction ability of #1.

THE PLAN
Pinnacle Wash
Spot with XMT #3
XMT 360 on whole car
Liquid Souveran

I would use the white pad with both the XMT #3 and 360. But you might be able to use the gray pad with the 360 on the areas that were already hit with #3. Then Id apply the Liquid Souveran with the blue pad.

Then at the 4 month marks when you're using the 360, you can probably use the gray pad.
 
Thanks D&D

Great reply! Addressed the whole in my plan. And saved me 15 bucks. Thanks Alot!
I like the idea of using the white pad instead of the orange. I have read that the EVO clear does not like the orange pad.
 
Yeah, I mean start with the least aggressive combo.
