Hey,
Well it depends on the finish.
Most of the time, if using the following, I would:
a cleaner: W-8006 Polishing Pad
a polish: Either W-8006 or W-9006 Finishing Pad
a glaze: Always a W-9006 Finishing Pad
a wax/sealant: the W-9006 Finishing Pad
At the glaze and sealant/wax stages, you do not want a pad that has cut to it. You want to use the least aggressive method as possible to apply the product in order to allow the product to do its job. Moreover, at the latter stages, you have to be really careful not to re-introduce marring back into the surface.

In the above would you consider the #7, #81 and DC Step 2 polishes to be "glazes" per say and in that case only use a finishing pad (w/ the PC), not the polishing pad?
Thanks Tim!
