An update that may be of some help.
Patrick at Excel Detail was kind enough to supply me a link that has pad and product recommendations with the pads he is involved with listed.
Thanks Patrick. :)

Glad to clear the air guys.....
I still get confused when people ask me questions without telling me the brand of pad and just a color:confused:Quote:

Let me know if there are any others that need to be changed, a reference to the manufacturers list would be the best source for the info.

what about 3M pads ? thats the only thing i can get locally (eggcrate pads)
Looking at 3M`s site I only see 2 different foam pads
A white compounding pad and a black polishing pad, are ther any other colors that you know of?

well ive seen only these 2 colors, what product should i use with these pads ? (going meguiars route)
What you are going to use will depend on the condition of your paint.
I would make more use of the polishing pad, because the compunding pad sounds like a heavy cut pad. I have never used any 3M pads so maybe someone who has used them would like to chime in.

Won`t the type of machine being used come into play here?
Sunstealth: Are you using a rotary or a random orbital polisher?
There`s different opinions on this, but I personally wouldn`t use a compounding/heavy cut pad with a RO.
Charles
That would really depend on the product being used with it and with a RO you would definitely need to be using top speeds :)Quote:

I`m new around here and I just wanted to bump the thread and say thanks for all the work that went into this. I`ve got some Sonus Green, Orange and Blue pads in the garage from a couple of years ago and this is very helpful.
