Which removes less clear?

With 1 pass on a flex 3401, will an orange pad+SIP remove more clear than a PFW pad+SIP? (given each has the same pressure, travel time, etc...)



The reason I ask is because until yesterday I've never used a PFW, but for some reason my cyclpo+orange+extreme cut (gloss-it) was having difficulty removing sanding scratches. Flex+orange+sip wasn't much ebtter, but flex+pfw+sip toasted right through them.



So the reason I ask my question is that with flex (or cyclo) + orange pads, the surface was a lot hotter than flex+pfw. But flex+pfw corrected faster and better (with a much cooler surface), so was it chomping through the clear faster, or just more efficiently? :confused:
 
PFW has more cut, and is in my opinion safer to use than an orange pad (because of less heat build-up). Just follow up with a finer polish and you're set!
 
So if it has more cut but less heat generation, does it remove more clear in the end, or is it a wash between the two? (I've always thought that more cut = more clear removed, and mroe heat = more clear removed, so in teh case of cut vs heat, I don't know which would remove more?)



But yea, I followed it up with a cyclo+green+_gloss-it machine gloss and wow, my test piece REALLY popped and was completely swirl/marr free.:woohoo:
 
It removes more clear, but I wouldn't worry too much about the difference in clear removal. Still less likely to burn...
