I don't think you really need the blue pad. It is best suited for a cleaner wax, all-in-one wax, or a light polish. Instead, you should have went with the orange cutting pad to go with the Ultimate Compound or ScratchX 2.0. You also wouldn't notice any difference in results between the Gray Finishing Pads and the Red Soft Wax Pads if you are using NXT Tech Wax 2.0. The Red Soft Wax Pads is really made for a premium pure wax that has no polishing abilities. According to Auto Detailing Solutions and Autogeek, the gray finishing pads is essentially an ultra-light polishing pad. But it is widely used for the application of waxes that contain polish agents.

Your 2nd scenario is the better of the two

Re: New Dual Action Polisher User Please Help

Any reason why you chose CCS pads over flat pads?

I use both, but now generally try to stick with the flat pads, especially if using the SMAT products (M105, M205).

Should I use fininshing pad with UC instead of using polishing pad?

I didn't choose CCS pads...They are part of the kit

I don't have M105 and M205...

Is the combo of UC/SwirlX same as M105/M205? thanks

Re: New Dual Action Polisher User Please Help

Does the Deep Crystal system Polish have any cut to it or is it just a paint cleaner?

Deep Crystal #2 is a pure polish...no cleaning ability.
