which pad with which product question

[sabresfan]

On the recommendation of the fine folks on in the forum, I am going with the Flex 3401 polisher. I will also order the combo kit where I can choose 3 pads. What colors should I choose? Looking for swirl removal (on black) minor scratch correction and a stunning finish! Here are the products I have......

3M: Performance finish, Scratch remover, Perfect-It Foam Polishing Pad Glaze for Dark Paints, Imperial Hand Glaze

Meguiars: Ultimate Compound, Ultimate Polish, Meguiar's #26 wax, #1 medium cut and #2 fine cut

Mothers: California Gold Synthetic Wax

Collinite: 845

Zymol: Cleaner Wax

I would love your recommendation on what product to use on what pad for a great finish!

Many Thanks!

Ty Bobby. That is a HUGE help. Is it safe to say you don't like 3M products?

No, not at all!

I used 3M products years ago and still a few now. Menzerna are my go to paint correction products these days but there are just so many quality products out there I can't have them all......or can I? :laughing:
