Help with PC pads

[jw]

I have a black 07 Porsche 911 that has some light swirls that P0106ff would not get rid of. I was using orange and green 6.5 inch LC pads. I'm going to purchase some Menzerna SIP, Do I need different pads? Do i need smaller pads? Will I need to use the orange pad with SIP or will green do it before finishing with a white pad and 106ff?

I don't think you'll necessarily NEED new pads but for me, I'd think so.

First try SIP with the LC green and if that doesn't cut it, use SIP and the LC orange and finish with 106FF and the LC green.

You may want to give the 4" orange CCS pads a shot because smaller pads correct better on PC but you will need to get a 3.5 inch backing plate. I was able to get most swirls/scratches out with the 4" orange pads and Menzerna IP.

Go with a Buff and Shine 6 1/2" black foam pad and 3M 05996, this is what any reputable body shop would use. This is for true correction and does not contain any fillers, silicones, or waxes. That shine is all your paint. Afterwards just wax and yoiu should be good.

Ditto, right on with this advice, I'd do what Denzil recommends.

I worked on a black one recently, except I used white where you would be using orange because I noticed the orange would haze the soft porsche black SS.
Anyways, I don't have any of the green pads - but with that paint, a tad bit softer is much more efficient, these are words of experience and experimentation.

Menzerna, it's what any reputable GERMAN shop would use.
Also no fillers, silicones, or waxes.
Tried and true on that type of paint, including my own work on that very same Porsche paint (as stated above), I wouldn't give up Menzerna for anything.
