Why so many polishing steps?

How do you like the Green LC pad?

Well EC with Yellow pad, especially the yellow pad, leaves tons of marring of its own. EC/FPII cleaned up the deep left over marring from the previous combo and FPII with green LC cleaned up the holograms and remaing marring. I was getting very faint and slight holograms with FPII and green pad so I went with blue pad and 106FF. I could have saved time if I had skipped the green pad and FPII.

The green pad isnt bad but I will prefer always using the blue pad as the last step. What I dont like about the CSS pads is the "pockets" extend all the way to the edge of the pad and cut off leaving half circles in the pad's edges. I think this is causing more chances of holograms or slight micromarring the finish.
