Have you tried Propel Advance PADs?

I'm not sure what you mean by Propel Advance? Can you provide a link to what you're referring to?

OK, that's what I meant when I said I've tried the Propel2 pads. Same thing.

As I said, I've used the green and orange ones so far. I have a yellow one, but haven't gotten around to trying it yet.

Ok, we are understandig us
Do you think that Propel2 PADs are much better that 7" Propel?
I can get easy them. Are they better than Meguiar PADs, no?

The P2 pads are neat because they tend to resist curling up behind the backing plate when you apply pressure to them. I like them better than the Meguiars pads because of my forementioned issue with the pad holding onto the product. It was difficult to wash the polish out of it. It's possible that it was just the particular product that I was using though.

Regardless, after using various brands of pads, I prefer the Propels.

I understand you. But do you like I will notice a big improvement with Propel2?

I think that depends how much polishing you do. If you're just applying mostly glazes and LSPs, you're not applying much pressure, so the P2s wouldn't offer any real benefit over the P1s. But if you're frequently polishing and applying pressure to remove swirls, the P2s would offer some benefit for you.

Ok, my friend. I don't use glazes/waxes via PC, I apply them by hand.
I'll use the PADs whit Menzerna/1z polishes for removing swirls and finishing stages, and I understand from your comments that P2s are better in this cases.
Thanks.

And refered to LC. I read about D.A., Constant Pressure, VC... but I don't know wich are the best for using via PC. Well, I read that Constant Pressure are made to work good via PC, but they don't appear in the web...
In this forum, the best thing that I read from LC PADs is the quality.
Thanks in advance

Well, let´s see...

Until last month I´ve been using Propel standard pads, but I never felt comfortable with the yellow one... So I got a new yellow pad from Pakshak, a Lake Country VC. I entered a new level

Differences where HUGE, in all terms, micromarring, cut power, and why not, directly in feeling. By now, I don´t know where my old Propel pad is, I completely forget about it

During this week, green, blue and black Propel 2 pads will arrive... I won´t lose a second to test them, and compare with LC´s ones.

I promess this week to post here my conclusion about pads...

Thanks everyone once again, and just like ever, sorry my poor english
