Best pad to use with AIO?

I've just trawled through pages upon pages of threads on AIO which have been extremely informative; however there is still one question that nobody has directly tackled:



What's the best pad to apply AIO with? I was going to use the green Sonus DAS, but it seems that some people use the blue instead - or doesn't it really matter?



Also while I'm here - does anybody make (and if so is it worth getting) a pad that's less aggressive than the blue Sonus DAS? I've seen mention of a red CMA pad or something and was just wondering what these might be used for and if they're really worth having in the cupboard?



Thanks once again,

Ben.
 
Ive used both the green & blue sonus pads with AIO, didn't see much of a difference. I'm not a prof detailer but I would say with the sonus, if you stay away from the orange pad & AIO you should be ok.:xyxthumbs
 
Use the Meg's pads and if you do apply with the polisihing or finish pad. I have my AIO in a spray bottle and that helps alot in misting the pad.
 
When I've applied AIO by machine, I've only ever used a LC gray pad. I have some blue ones in my pad box and will try them on my next detail.
 
I've used the white, orange, and yellow Lake Country pads. I choose which pad to use depending on what I'm trying to do. I'll use the white pad for a vehicle in great shape. I'll use the orange pad for vehicles that need more deep cleaning and the yellow to get out minor oxidation and badly imbedded grime, etc. in the paint. Being a chemical cleaner and not an abrasive one, you don't have to worry about hurting the surface unless your using a rotary.
 
I use either the Meguiars polishing pad, or the blue Propel Pad, which is the more aggressive finishing pad in that line.
 
Thanks guys, think I'll give it a go with the green and the blue and see what difference it makes. I've only got the Sonus DAS pads (4 of each) at the moment as sourcing decent ones here in the UK is a PITA.
