    Their own pads or the major pad brands of the industry?

    My understanding is they`re all color coded the same.

    I wish it were this simple, however it`s not.
    Just about every manufacturer has different color codes for the aggressiveness of their pads - Lake Country even has different Color Codes for several pad types.

    Exactly. That`s why I wish for a comprehensive pad guide, even if just for LC pads. Like where do my HT pads fit into the CCS/flat pads? The struggle is real

    So if that`s the case how are you to tell what each mfg`s pads are? They only sell by color. Are we just suppose to guess? That doesn`t even make sense!

    The AAT products are actually already on there. I`ll update the chart to include "AAT" (not sure how I missed that).

    The 3D HD Rubbing Compound is the AAT Compound.

    And the 3D HD Finishing Polish is the AAT Finishing Polish.

    Ben@3D was nice enough to send over info on where those products go on this chart shortly after their release.

    Does anyone have experience with editing a PDF.. any free software?
    Hoping the PDF isn`t locked out. It be great to edit this PDF only keeping the brands I use.

    Microsoft Word can edit PDF`s. I did a quick look using it Adobe Acrobat (editor) it is an image. The properties box said it was created by Photoshop.

    Thanks Bunky,
    Maybe Ray will at least PM anyone that wants the file before it`s the image. Otherwise I`ll print every page and cut out the Brands I use.

    I talked to Steve (Poorboy) regarding Pro Polish and Polish with Sealant. He said they are both pad dependent and with the same pad would have the same cut. The polish chart implies cut 3 for PwS but I assume that may be with a polishing pad.
