Re: Product, Pad and Speed settings for the G110 Dual Action Polisher - Updated!
The 8207 (7" Polishing pad) is the pad most commonly used, but you will also want to have a few finishing pads (9207) on hand. The finishing pad is softer and can be used with great effectiveness on soft paints, or to apply waxes or sealants.
The mantra here (least aggressive method) is always preferable to achieve optimum results. That said, it is best practice to have multiple pads to effect a complete detail on even one vehicle. For a full sized sedan, I would try to have at least 4 polishing pads and two finishing pads. For a larger vehicle like a truck, a mix of 6 polishing pads and three finishing would probably be a good ratio.
Change out your pads if using different polishes, and/or change out your pads after completing a series of panels. For instance, I use a separate pad for my horizontal surfaces (hood, roof, trunk lid), another for my vertical surfaces (doors and fenders) and another for my front and rear bumper covers. And I clean my pads on the fly every 2 or 3 applications.
