View Full Version : Difference between white and green pad
What is the difference between the white and green LC pads. From what I understand white has more cutting ability. On CMA`s site they recommend a green pad with PO106ff. Which one should I get or do I need both. When would you use the green over the white pad. I would think that as long as you`re polishing you`d want the white one?

From what I understand, the green is more agressive. And BTW, if you are going to be ordering LC pads for a PC, you really should get the 5" LC CCS pads from Danase. Much more effective than the larger ones.

That`s my understanding that the green is slightly more aggressive than the white.

The green is slightly more aggressive than the white. Unless you get the 6.5" green from AG, that one is custom made for them and is *less* aggressive than the white.
As long as you dont order *that* pad, green is slightly more aggressive than white in the LC foam line.

white is almost always made for your very last final polish. There should be a set standard amoung companies but apparently they haven`t got it all set just yet.

Green is the Aggressive one and White is the one you would finish with

Finishes well on light colors too.

I believe they are marketing the green to use on hard German clears, no?

For Lake Country:
Blue = finishing
Black = finessing
White = polishing
Green = heavy polishing
Orange = light cutting
Yellow = cutting

My 7.5" LC green pad from Danase is much more aggressive than the white and even the orange light cut pad.....

Like Budman said...I get better results with the green pad then the orange,,,the green and white with Menzerna is killer....never had to go higher than that....Tried a orange pad and micro mar hell....dropped down to a green and LSP ready....the white for the finishing pollishes like 85RD and 106FA leaves a super finish

I find the green LC pad to be quite a bit more aggressive than the white LC pad. It`s has much coarser pores, but can still finish down ok.
