I'm going to do a complete detail on my dad's red GMC Sierra in a few days and I was reading Detailing according to Jngrbrdman(great post!). I know I'm going to clay his truck then use a polish to take the swirls out w/ my PC. I was thinking of using #83 DACP. Then puting on about 3 coats of 4*'s Ultimate Paint Protection, then P21S wax.The other day I bought the Sonus Green foam pad and grey foam pad. So....would I use the polish and the sealent w/ the green pad and the wax w/ the grey one, or the polish w/ the green pad and the sealent and wax w/ the grey one? Or do I need to buy the blue sonus pad and apply the sealent w/ that then the grey for the wax. I'm confused lol.
Thanks

Confused me. :)
Since I have no idea what color of pad is intended for what use, (I use meg's Pads, different colors), I can only tell you what works for me.
Pretty basic, really.
Polishes - Polishing pad
Wax or sealant - Finishing pad
For me, polishes include Megs' #9 Swirl Remover, Klasse AIO, S100 SEC, Poorboy's PwC, Poorboy's Pro Polish. Haven't used the PP yet, but it will be with a polishing pad.
Sealants are UPP and NXT.
I have used a polishing pad with NXT one time. The thought being that it might clean better with the more aggressive pad. Not my idea, I stole it somewhere else.
