I recently purchased the Wolfgang Duo 3.0, along with an orange and red pad. After (of course) I recieved everything I found some videos showing that a white pad should be used for the Finishing Glaze part of the Duo 3.0 process. Given I only have an orange (cutting ability) and red (no cutting ability) pad, which should I use? Or, should I purchase a white pad and wait another week?

Thanks
 
It's easy for me or anyone else to spend your $$, but 2 pads won't cut it (pun intended). For the glaze, actually the red will do just fine. However, the white is such a versatile pad (probably the most) that you need one in your inventory. Get at least a white one if nothing else and you'll have a range.
 
The WG finishing glaze is a fine polish. You could use the red and get what the polish gives you or get a white and get a little more from the pad/polish cutting.

To do a complete car you need at least 3-4 each orange and white pads, otherwise the pads gets saturated with product and built up with spent paint. You need to work clean and keep a clean pad working the polishes. Then use red or blue to apply LSP.

I use the WG twins a lot of the time. I typically use 4 Cyan and 3 Tangerine pads for an average car. These are the LC Hydro Tech pads. I use the Cyan with the TSR and the Tangeine with the FG. Sometimes I can get away with TSR on a Tangerine pad then go right to LSP. I just depends on the paint and how bad it is?:props:
 
Thanks for all the comments! To address Mike's post:

1. I am working on a 2006 Ford Fusion, black color.
2. In the 6 years of ownership I never had the car buffed and have frequently washed via the scrub brush at the carwash. The paint is good but the swirls are as bad as they can get. I actually don't like washing my car any more because I think the swirls that become apparent after washing look worse than a slighly dirty car.
3. My main goal is swirl removal. I plan on knocking this out today so I will be washing, claying, polishing, sealing. I will be taking the WG Swirl Remover for the first polishing step using an orange pad and then moving to the Finishing Glaze. It sound like I should use the red pad over the orange pad for this step.

I will check back on this thread after claying to see if I need to be doing anything different with the polishing steps.

I really am excited to see the results and I have two family members who are "ready to sign up" depending on my results.

Thanks again!
 
Shame on AG for adding more confusion to the car care world. From what I've read (and experienced), WFG is similar to a mix of a Menzerna fine polish (like SF 4500) and a glaze. It's a terrific product, but why the name Finishing Glaze? Why not something like: "Wolfgang Final Finish" or something a little more ambiguous like Prima's Amigo? The later would make the buyer read the description to see its a glaze and polish.

Of course I'm just joking. Its great either way.

wolfgang Finishing Glaze has no filling glaze in it.:dunno:
From the product description "The water-based polish is low-dusting, silicone-free, filler-free, and wax-free."

It's actually 106FA (SF4000), and it has no glazing elements.
