Autogeek(AG) has the polishing green LC CCS pad while the other vendors get a light cutting green CCS. Two very different pads.

Re: Holograms....where did i go wrong??

Didn' know there were 2 types of LC ccs green. I ordered two a month ago and completely hated the green ccs as it 'disintegrated' after only doing about 5 cars. I think this could be the light cutting green ccs u talk and loathe of eh. hehe.
Do they both look similar in appereance?

The heavier pad is a very slight different shade of green and has pores that are more open.

Did you get yours from CMA?

Re: Holograms....where did i go wrong??

Got mine from a LC distributor in Thailand (Bangkok). Yeah come to think of it the ccs green I have is rougher and has more open pores. Think I'll give it to my mum for washing plates..hehehe

Re: Holograms....where did i go wrong??

Yeah, I don't really care for that green pad. Two are still in the package and I will likely return them. Foamed wool does a better job in that area of correction and is much easier to control.

Re: Holograms....where did i go wrong??

So you reckon I should go with LC white or Black pad with Menz 106FF to get it to finish hologram free since you say Blue could be an issue?

Black is still a little soft. Green or white are probably better options.

If you're going to order I'd suggest the AG green.
