I`m re-polishing my dad`s Mercedes this weekend. Thinking of going with #80/#16 combo. I have LC Yellow, Orange and White pads. Which pad should I use with #80? Moderate and light swirls on a Black Mercedes. Some deep swirls, which Menzerna IP couldn`t even get out last time, so I`m not going to bother trying to get those out.



Thanks guys.

white should be ok, orange if you need more cut...

I`m told #80 is about the same strength as IP. You may want to try #83 and a orange pad then follow with #80 and a polishing pad. Try the orange pad with #80 to se if it helps before going to #83.

What Jetskie said :xyxthumbs Note that if you use a LC orange pad with *anything* you will probably need to follow up with a LC white pad. Not always, but consider it likely.
