Pad Selection / Technique

[LHB1]

Just used my new Meguiars G110v2 on 2009 BMW 528 in Space Gray. After washing and drying car I applied Wolfgang Deep Gloss paint sealant 3.0 with Blue CCS Smart pad and then buffed with Microfiber bonnet over Lambswool pad. Car looks great and the orbital polisher sure beats the old hand wipe method. After looking thru the website, I wonder if the Red pad would be even better (easier on paint) than the blue pad? Any other suggestions? I drove my last BMW for 10 years and may keep this one nearly as long. I don't want to use anything that may damage the paint with repetitive use. Thanks.

Congratulations... you're a part of the great trend of people transitioning from working by hand to working by machine...

Both are soft finishing pads, at the level you're at in this stage of the game you're not going to see a discernible difference between pads.
