    I don`t understand buffing pad colors

    I recently got a set of 3" buffing/polishing pads off Amazon and I need to get a better understanding about how to use them in general. If there`s a tutorial out there that explains them I`d appreciate a link.

    I don`t have the chart in front of me right now, but I believe the instructions that came with them indicated the orange foam pad was for harder cutting, the blue and yellow foam pads would be for medium cutting/polishing, and the black and white foam pads are for fine polishing. Do all foam polishing pads follow this same color / grade code regardless of the manufacturer?

    Re: I don`t understand buffing pad colors

    There is no industry color standard for colors. User must either gain such from supplier or learn to determine by touch and feel of foam which is which.
